IIT Ropar recently developed a device \u2018Jivan Vayu\u2019 which can be used as a substitute for a CPAP machine. Dr Khushboo Rakha, Assistant Professor, Metallurgical and Materials Engineering developed the device at the Advanced Materials and Design Lab of IIT Ropar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The device is the nation\u2019s first such device that functions even without electricity and is adapted to both kinds of oxygen generation units like O2 cylinders and oxygen pipelines in hospitals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018Jivan Vayu\u2019 can deliver high flow oxygen (20\u201360 LPM) while maintaining a continuous positive pressure of up to 20 cm H2O.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The device is designed to maintain an FiO2 of above 40% with a PEEP (positive end-expiratory pressure) of 5-20 cm H2O.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
