PROGRESS REPORT FYP2 (W9)

Week: 9

Date: 29th March 2021 - 2nd April 2021

Activity: 

• Correcting the abstract writing 
• Setting the rate of breathing to be used
• Starting to build the casing

Objective:

1. To correct the abstract according to what have been taught during Lecture Workshop last week.
2. To set the suitable rate of breathing for the rotation of motor.

Content:

• During last week Lecture session by the R&I Section, we were taught to write the abstract correctly hence a few correction has been made to the abstract for thesis writing. 

• The speed for Low, Medium and High is set according to the suitable breathing rate that is required by patients. 

1. Low speed: 10bpm
2. Medium speed: 15bpm
3. High speed: 20bpm

Result: 

The reason on choosing these rates as the set speed is because a bag valve mask must transmit between 500 and 800 millilitres of air to a typical male adult patient's lungs to be functional, but if supplemental oxygen is provided, 400 millilitres may be sufficient. An appropriate breathing rate is achieved by squeezing the bag once every 5 to 6 seconds for an adult and once every 3 seconds for an infant or toddler. Thus, these are the suitable rates to be set at the device so it is compatible to be used to patients.

Conclusion: 

As a conclusion, the suitable rates has been set for the device. The casing is still under progress.
