Detailed explanation-1: -SwasthVayu developed by CSIR-NAL is a microcontroller based precise closed-loop adaptive control system with a built-in biocompatible “3D printed manifold and coupler” with HEPA filter (Highly Efficient Particulate Air Filter). These unique features help to alleviate the fear of the virus spread.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are several forms of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation, including CPAP, BiPAP, and APAP. All three deliver pressurized oxygen through a mask, though they vary in their settings.

Detailed explanation-3: -Bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP) is probably the most common mode noninvasive positive pressure ventilation and requires provisions for inspiratory positive airway pressure (IPAP) and expiratory positive airway pressure (EPAP).

Detailed explanation-4: -NPPV refers to a form of mechanical support in which positive pressure delivers a mixture of air and oxygen throughout the respiratory tree via a noninvasive interface. NPPV collectively includes several modalities of noninvasive ventilation, which can be delivered via a standard ICU ventilator or a portable device.
