Systems and methods are provided for humidifying ventilation gas. Systems and methods may include a nasal interface apparatus for receiving ventilation gas from gas delivery tubing and for humidifying ventilation gas. The nasal interface apparatus may have one or more channels within the nasal interface to deliver gas from a gas delivery circuit to a patient's nose; one or more structures in fluid communication with the one or more channels to direct ventilation gas to the patient's nose; and a hygroscopic material within the nasal interface in the flow path of the ventilation gas.

A sensor for measuring a concentration of a respiratory gas component is disclosed herein. The sensor includes at least one radiation source (13, 19) for emitting radiation and at least one radiation sensing detector (14, 20) for receiving radiation and for providing a signal indicative of the concentration of the gas component. The sensor also includes an electronics board (26) for receiving and processing the signal to determine the concentration, and an energy storage device (22) for supplying energy to the radiation source. The electronics board can choose from among at least two different modes, one being an operation mode allowing sufficient energy supply to the radiation source, and another being a rest mode allowing reduced energy supply compared to the operation mode to limit radiation for saving energy within the breathing cycle. Also a gas analyzer and method for measuring a concentration of a respiratory gas component is provided.
摘要:
A method, such as in a controller associated with a respiratory therapy device, determines whether high flow therapy is being used by a patient. The method may include determining whether a property of a flow of air being delivered by a respiratory therapy device along an air circuit to an unsealed patient interface contains a significant oscillation within a breathing rate frequency band. The method may also include generating, dependent on the determination, an indication of whether high flow therapy is being used by the patient.
摘要:
The invention relates to a respiratory system comprising a first patient interface for delivery of a first flow of gases to a patient, a second patient interface for delivery of a second flow of gases to the patient, and a device and/or sensing arrangement that is configure to facilitate a switching of the system between a first respiratory mode where the device allowing delivery of the first flow of gases to an outlet of the first patient interface when the second patient interface is absent from the patient, and a second respiratory mode where the device reducing or stopping delivery of the first flow of gases to the outlet of the first patient interface when the second patient interface is located together with the first patient interface upon the patient.
摘要:
Devices and systems provide methods of detecting a heart failure condition of a patient that may be based on one or more respiratory parameters of a patient. In an example embodiment, a monitoring device determines one or more heart failure condition indicators based on a measure of the patient respiratory airflow and/or a measure of treatment pressure. Respiratory parameters such as respiration rate, hypopneas, apneas, Cheyne-Stokes breathing patterns or apnea-hypopnea counts may be compared to thresholds that are selected to represent a change in the condition of a heart failure patient such as an onset of a decompensation event. Results of the comparisons may trigger a pressure treatment change and/or one or more warnings or messages to notify a patient or physician of a pending change to the patient's heart failure condition so that the patient may more immediately seek medical attention to treat the heart failure condition.

A system for delivering a pressurized flow of breathable gas to a patient includes a patient interface configured to contact the patient's head. The patient interface has a frame and a cushion supported by the frame. The cushion is configured to sealingly connect the patient interface to the patient's face and form a chamber between the frame and the patient's face. The patient interface also has an inlet port in the frame to receive the pressurized flow of breathable gas. The system further includes a flow generator mounted on the patient interface. The flow generator is configured to generate the pressurized flow, capable of creating a pressure of about 2-40 cm H2O in the chamber. A flow generator housing houses the flow generator and is configured to reduce a transmission of vibration and/or noise generated by the flow generator to the patient interface. At least one support arm extends from the flow generator housing to the frame of the patient interface. The at least one support arm is connected to the frame of the patient interface by a soft joint.
