The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project is simplifying a difficult and dangerous medical intervention, that is performed millions of times a year in the United States, with a portable and ergonomic device that enables rescuers to increase the safety for every patient in an emergency that requires ventilation assistance. The resulting device will decrease the time necessary to stabilize a patient during situations where every second is crucial to the patient’s health. The device will also enable responders to accomplish their jobs more effectively and safely. The resulting technology seeks not only to increase safety for patients and increase efficiency of medical responders, but it seeks to do so in a cost-effective manner. A main focus of this research is to develop a solution applies in all emergency situations and for every patient requiring rescue ventilation. This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project will develop and test a device that will calculate and measure the tidal volume delivered during rescue ventilation and provide instant feedback to the responder to evaluate the status of the patient’s respiratory system. The device will deliver breaths using tightly controlled pressure levels and respiration rates to avoid injuring the patient while also providing optimized ventilation. It will provide these features in a small, ergonomic, portable form-factor that can easily be used ambidextrously with one hand, thereby improving the flexibility and freedom of the responder to deal with other issues. The development and customer data from Phase I of this project will be used to fully construct an operational prototype that will be suitable for FDA validation testing and clearance. By integrating such a high level of respiratory care into a portable device, the impact of such technology will be broadened to all patients that require live-saving ventilation.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这个小企业创新研究 (SBIR) 第二阶段项目的更广泛影响/商业潜力正在简化一项困难且危险的医疗干预措施，该干预措施在美国每年进行数百万次，使用便携式且符合人体工程学的设备，使救援人员能够在需要通气辅助的紧急情况下提高每位患者的安全性，在每一秒都对患者健康至关重要的情况下，该设备还将减少稳定患者所需的时间。并安全地产生技术。不仅寻求提高患者的安全性和提高医疗响应人员的效率，而且寻求以具有成本效益的方式实现这一目标。这项研究的主要重点是开发一种适用于所有紧急情况和每位需要救援的患者的解决方案。该小型企业创新研究 (SBIR) 第二阶段项目将开发和测试一种设备，该设备将计算和测量救援通气期间输送的潮气量，并向急救人员提供即时反馈，以评估患者呼吸系统的状态。使用紧密的压力水平呼吸，它将在小型、符合人体工程学、便携式的外形中提供这些功能，可以轻松地用一只手灵巧地使用，从而提高响应者处理问题的灵活性和自由度。该项目第一阶段的开发和客户数据将用于完全构建适合 FDA 验证测试和许可的操作原型。此类技术的应用范围将会扩大该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
