The Department of Science and Technology tied up with the Wipro 3D to jointly build proto type of automated ventilators.
The ventilators will help in meeting urgent requirement of Covid-19 crisis.
The ventilators are called AMBU (Artificial Manual Breathing Unit).
They are hand held devices that will provide automatic pressurized ventilation to the patients that are not breathing or facing extreme difficulties in breathing.
The AMBU is portable and hence will be ideal to suit the temporary hospital beds set up in railway coaches.
It has provisions to add PEEP (positive end expiratory pressure) as an extra component in order to maintain pressure.
