Low-Cost SpO2 Integrated Neonatal CPAP Device for Low Resource Setting
INTRODUCTION: More than 60% of preterm births take place in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, making prematurity a primary cause of neonatal mortality. Even though continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is a popular treatment for respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) and is safe, practicable, and...

description | INTRODUCTION: More than 60% of preterm births take place in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, making prematurity a primary cause of neonatal mortality. Even though continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is a popular treatment for respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) and is safe, practicable, and efficient for use in LMICs, it is crucial to ensure that neonates receive the full benefits of the therapy by monitoring their blood oxygen level. METHODS: A centrifugal fan, power source, control system, and sensors are all included in our design. A centrifugal fan was created to provide air at positive pressure in the range of approximately 4 cmH2O to 20 cmH2O utilizing revolving blades (impeller), a DC motor, and a fixed component. The control unit contains a microcontroller to handle sensor data. The proportional-integral (PI) controller board’s external potentiometer is used to set the pressure level. RESULTS: To ascertain whether the prototype satisfies the design requirements, it was constructed and put through several iterations and testing. The proposed device’s prototype was tested for accuracy, affordability, and usability. The centrifugal fan speed measurement was accurate to within 94.5%, while the oxygen concentration sensor reading was accurate to within 98.5%. CONCLUSION: The design investigates viability of a straightforward, inexpensive, portable SpO2 integrated neonatal CPAP device for use in the delivery room in low-resource countries and to evaluates methods for measuring flows during CPAP treatment by monitoring the level of oxygen in the blood and pressure level delivered by the device using the lowest and safest setting that yields useful results. |
