IIT-H calls for adopting alternatives to ventilators like ‘Bag Valve Mask’

Hyderabad, Mar 30 (UNI) Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Hyderabad Director Prof B S Murty on Monday called upon on the Government of India to consider adopting ‘bag valve mask’ as an alternative to meet any surge in demand for ventilators, both in India and other countries, to treat COVID-19 patients.

While the conventional ventilators are expensive, hard to produce, and not portable, Prof Murty and Prof V Eswaran, Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, IIT Hyderabad, highlight that ‘bag valve masks’ are small devices, which are used to deliver breathing support in emergencies that are inexpensive, easy to produce, and portable - which therefore have every quality that is required in this crisis, a IIT-H statement here said.
