%X Respiratory failure cases are many flowing and filling the ICUs of the hospitals at any point of time. In cases of respiratory failure, either short-term or long-term ventilation is required for the patient for survival. Maintaining of O2 saturation in patients is of prime objective in mechanical ventilation which in turn contributes for their recovery. Patients connected to the ventilator are constantly monitored for O2 saturation. Any fall in O2 saturation requires immediate intervention of clinician to introspect the problem and sort out the issues. One of the main reasons for low O2saturation is low value FiO2 settings on the ventilator. This FiO2 setting has to be increased or decreased manually as per monitored SpO2 analyzer. There are always possibilities that exist, that patient on ventilators may go unnoticed or get less attention during emergencies cases entering the ICU. In this project we approached to automatically blend Air/O2 mixer of an ICU ventilator to maintain a target SpO2 Saturation on the patient, say 98. Algorithm mechanism is designed in such a way, continuous FiO2 changes will lead to achieve targeted SpO2 level of the patient. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
