The Dhaka Times Desk Corona virus (Covid-19) attacks human lungs. Due to which there is shortness of breath. For which the patient needs to be admitted to the hospital's ICU (intensive care unit) and given artificial oxygen. This oxygen is given with the help of a ventilator.
However, there is a shortage of these ventilators in hospitals. That is why many countries are taking initiatives to make new ventilators.
However, this time in Britain, such a device has been invented with the help of which Corona patients can take oxygen outside the hospital.
The device was jointly developed by the Mercedes Formula One team and engineers at University College London. With its help, it will be possible to supply oxygen to the patient's lungs without a ventilator.
Around the world, 2.3 million people have been infected with the corona virus so far. One and a half million people died. Among these patients, 5 lakh 64 thousand 210 people have recovered.
It should be noted that the idea of developing an alternative ventilator in Bangladesh has already been considered. Where the cost of bringing a ventilator from abroad is Tk 5/6 lakh, making these ventilators made in Bangladesh will cost only Tk 50,000. However, the matter is now awaiting trial preparation and approval from the concerned ministry.
