With the current design, mechanical ventilation for respiration rate ranging from 10 b/min to 30 b/min with a tidal volume range of 150 mL to 1000 mL and I:E ratio of 1:1 to 1:5 can be performed. The state-of-the-art mechanical ventilators address the need for all range of respiratory failures; however, their time-to-manufacture, design sophistication, cost, and scalability for deployment in mass emergencies such as pandemics, make them not a viable solution in many situations. The user interface lets the operator set parameters, stop/start the device, and monitor the pressure and flow rate on the LCD ( Figure 1C ). As depicted in Figure 7 , when pressure drops below -2 cmH2O, the device starts the ventilation and delivers the set tidal volume.	./cache/cord-272869-381qupdn.txt	./txt/cord-272869-381qupdn.txt
