Abstract
Respiratory disorders is an international health concern. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic lung conditions that cause breathing difficulties and restricted airflow. Emphysema or chronic bronchitis is a progressive disease that damages the airways or other parts of the lungs, making breathing difficult. Due to its substantial morbidity and mortality, COPD places a heavy burden on people's lives as well as global healthcare systems. COPD patients may also have systemic symptoms like fatigue, weakness in their muscles, and weight loss in addition to respiratory symptoms, which can affect the quality of life. According to WHO estimates, COPD will account for 3.23 million deaths globally in 2019 and rise to the third-highest cause of death by 2030. In order to rectify the issue and save lives, a cheap portable ventilator was fabricated. The MAX30100 is integrated with heart rate monitoring system and pulse oximetry sensor that uses LEDs, a photodetector, optimized optics, and low-noise Analog signal processing unit is developed. It allows users to assign volume and pressure that connects to the Arduino Nano using Arduino ide. An essential gap in the emergency medical care system is filled by the portable ventilator system. It’s a portable device that focuses on safety which makes it an invaluable tool for reducing healthcare difficulties in times of emergency and eventually saving lives.
