Abstract:
Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation has the advantages of fewer complications and is beneficial to the patients. However, the anaesthesiologists must hold the mask covering the patients' mouth and nose, which is labour intensity and lack of not ergonomics. In this paper, we propose a concept of the anti-maxillary opening position (that is mandibular anti jaw position and the opening position implement step by step). A novel robot system assisting noninvasive positive pressure ventilation is designed to help the anaesthesiologist hold the mask, and meanwhile keep the anti-maxillary in the opening position for an optimal breathing condition without damaging the other tissues. The robot adopts the active and passive control mode. We have completed the structure design of the robot mechanical system and the processing and assembly of the prototype and designed the electronic control system for the robot, configured the electronic control hardware of each part of the robot, so that the robot has the ability to complete the auxiliary breathing capacity and limit protection. Finally, the experimental platform of robot system was built and the preliminary clinical trial was completed.
