For an updated project description, click on the
following link for the Project
Readiness Package.
A Portable Emergency Ventilator (PEV) is a device
that can provide positive pressure ventilation to a
person who is incapable of breathing on their own.
This device can eliminate the need for
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation used by first
responders during CPR, thus drastically eliminating
the spread of diseases. The device can also be used
when transporting patients or in home use when a
large ventilator is too expensive and impractical.
This project focuses on improving a PEV developed
in the early 1990s by Jeff Gutterman and Roman
Press (shown on right below). The goal of this
project is to update the model using technology
available today by making it lighter, more
efficient, easier to use, and provide more
feedback. The expected end result is a functional
prototype (shown on left below) which can be
marketed to companies and be manufactured.
