BENGALURU: Defence Research and Development Organisation’s (DRDO) Bengaluru lab Defence Bio-Engineering & Electro Medical Laboratory (DEBEL) has developed a Blood Oxygen Saturation (SpO2) supplemental oxygen delivery system for soldiers posted at extreme high-altitude areas, which it said on Monday, can also be used to tackle Covid-19.
“The automatic system delivers supplemental oxygen based on the SpO2 levels and prevents the person from sinking into a state of Hypoxia, which is fatal in most cases, if it sets in,” a DRDO statement read.
Hypoxia is a state in which the amount of oxygen reaching the tissues is inadequate to fulfill all the energy requirements of the body. “This is exactly the situation that gets replicated in a Covid-19 patient due to the virus infection and has been a leading factor in the current crisis,” the statement read.
HYDERABAD: A device developed by DRDO for the use of soldiers will now come in handy for Covid-19 patients who require medical support.
“Being ever in the forefront to support the Indian Soldier in most difficult terrain and adverse circumstances, the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has developed yet another system, which is of great value not only to the Indian Army soldiers fighting in the Extreme High Altitudes Areas but also would be a boon to the country in this extreme crisis of Covid 19 pandemic,” DRDO said on Monday.
