Abstract
The pandemic scenario of COVID-19 has demonstrated the importance of investments in the areas of medical research to help minimize the effects of this epidemiological crisis. Thus, some of the important items in facing the pandemic are the medical equipment for life support, where most of them are still totally dependent on electricity for their operation. In this paper, we demonstrate the evolution of an Automatic Ambu Accelerator (AAA) that uses a hybrid power system, composed of an electrical and pneumatic system, with the objective of helping the respiratory support in moments of emergency through the monitoring of pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation (O2) in the blood and capture of carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration exhaled in the Ambu by the patient. In this way, the study shows results since the calibration of the sensors, the corrections of parts in the pneumatic system for better functioning, and even the reduction of filament consumption in the 3D printing of new housings for the sensors. Thus, showing the evolution of the robust and safe product for front-line implementation in new outbreaks.
