Among those trying hard to economize COVID19 treatment worldwide, an Indian American couple \u2013 Devesh Ranjan and Kumuda Ranjan \u2013 has designed and developed a low-cost emergency ventilator<\/strong> for developing countries including India. The device named Open\u2013AirVentGT, not only affordable but also portable, is all set to undergo the production stage and be available for hundreds of thousands of COVID19 patients with the severe respiratory distress syndrome. One in every six COVID19 patients experiences difficulty in breathing due to pneumonia and other acute complications.<\/p>\n Ventilators and oxygen cylinders fall short of the growing cases of COVID19 in India. With an upward curve of the pandemic during the second wave, India is running out of isolation beds and ventilators. India has nearly 4 million active cases of the novel coronavirus as of May 10, 2021. If the daily active caseload shows no sign of abatement in the coming days, India can\u2019t help but face a deficit in the number of ventilators even though the world has come together to help India tide over the crisis.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
