[0003] Breathing apparatuses are widely used for assisting or facilitating respiration process in a patient who is not capable of breath at his/her own. The breathing apparatus can include ventilator system. This process of providing artificial breathing to the patient is very much critical process. One has to take into consideration various parameters (also referred as critical parameters herein) related to health condition of the patient, and age etc. There are full-fledged apparatus available in today’s scenario that suitably read all the required parameters and adapt these parameters to ensure a flexible and less stressful patient-respirator interaction. These apparatuses are very costly.
[0004] Such an apparatus for delivering breaths to a patient needs a mechanism to control the various factors that play a vital role in breath delivery.
