Corona. TamilNadu Health Minister Dr. C. VIJAYABASKAR has visited the SRM
Hospital to monitor the availability of equipment and necessity during Corona
crisis.
Fablab SRMIST has developed 3D printed Head set/ face
shield for the Health workers working during COVID crisis. It’s basically a 3D
printed head set design modified by students Harsh Mattoo and Anurag
Atulya of SRMIST. The Acrylic sheets and other material was procured and is
laser cut in Fablab and assembled. Design changes made as per request of the
doctors. They made 550 3D printed face shields and donated it to SRM Hospital.
And Fablab has also designed the Automated
AMBU machine to assist ventilation for SRM Hospital. The current global
pandemic due to the Covid19 virus causes illness that can lead to a patient
landing in Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) requiring Ventilation to
assist in the recovery. There are not enough ventilators available in the
government and private sectors combined and multiple efforts are ongoing to
find a solution. Groups of scientists, engineers and doctors across the globe
are involved in the testing, trying and treating of this problem.
After multiple
discussions with critical care physicians, anesthetists and pulmonologists, and
after reading through published literature on Mechanical ventilation, the
following solution is proposed as an Automated AMBU Bag.
Students
from CSE department of SRMIST has created an app to self - assessment to
identify the symptoms of corona and it also provides updates on spread of corona in India.
Furthermore we are planning to
donate grocery items for 50 households in adopted village for ST community
people. We will continue our work to fight against corona.
