This paper presents a low-cost and portable mechanical ventilator in order to contribute towards the increasing demand for mechanical ventilators all over the world due to the global pandemic of COVID-19. The proposed system’s portability makes it different from the other ventilators which are currently used in different hospitals. It could be easily carried from one place to another without facing any difficulty because of its small size and low weight as compared to the previous versions of ventilators. Moreover, the aim is to design and provide an adequate amount of oxygen and clear CO2 simultaneously to the patients and it will also prevent infection. The proposed ventilator is one of the simplest variations of a mechanical ventilator and the idea behind this vision is to make it too simple so that any ward nurse or a common man can easily operate it efficiently. Therefore, an expert can also invest his/her time while looking after much more severe cases as compared to not making much of his/her timeless productive while standing in front of the ventilators and taking care of patients in the early stage.
