摘要:
A system (10) and method of insufflating-exsufflating a subject (12) that enables monitoring and/or control over an enhanced set of breathing parameters during insufflation-exsuffiation. The system and/or method may include automatic triggering and/or notification to a caregiver of insufflation-exsuffiation. The insufflation-exsuffiation of the subject may be preceded by a secretion loosing routine that loosens secretions in the airway of the subject without moving the loosened secretions up the airway.

A method of providing high frequency ventilation to a patient, comprises delivering a flow of breathing gas to the patient, the flow of breathing gas having a first positive pressure level and a second positive pressure level, the first and second positive pressure levels alternating with one another in a plurality of cycles in the flow of breathing gas to have a frequency and an amplitude, the flow of breathing gas to the patient generating a mean airway pressure; determining whether the patient is breathing spontaneously or is trying to breath spontaneously; and, in response to the determination that the patient is breathing spontaneously or trying to breath spontaneously or according to the user settings for HFV and user intervention for non-spontaneous breathing patient, adjusting the mean airway pressure, modulating the frequency and duty cycle of the flow of breathing gas, or modulating the level of flow and pressure amplitude of the breathing gas, or two or more thereof.
摘要:
A device for providing a high frequency ventilation to a patient that includes a pressure generating system that delivers a flow of breathing gas to the patient, where the flow has a first and second positive pressure levels that alternate with one another in a plurality of cycles in the flow so as to have a frequency and an amplitude. The flow generates a mean airway pressure. A controller, coupled to the pressure generating system, is configured to make a determination, as to a spontaneous breathing, or an attempt, by the patient, or a change in a user settings by a user, and in response adjusts the mean airway pressure, modulates the frequency and a duty cycle of the flow, or modulates a level of the flow and the amplitude of the flow, or two or more flows.

The present invention provides a filter assembly for filtering a gas stream. The filter assembly including a number of filter elements structured to be disposed in a gas stream. The filter assembly further including a heating element for heating each of the number of filter elements, the heating element being structured to be disposed in the gas stream for directly heating the gas stream as the gas stream passes therethrough.

摘要:
Secretions that have accumulated at or near an airway of a subject (12) as the subject (12) is being mechanically ventilated are removed by suctioning. Before, during, and/or after the removal of the secretions, steps are taken to mitigated the impact of the suctioning used for secretion removal on the subject (12). As such, the timing of suction used to remove secretions may be influenced or controlled, ventilation of the subject (12) during suction may be adjusted, ventilation of the subject (12) prior to secretion removal may be adjusted to prepare the lungs of the subject (12) for secretion removal, ventilation of the subject (12) subsequent to suction for secretion removal may be adjusted, and/or other techniques for reducing the impact of suctioning for secretion removal on the subject (12) may be implemented.

摘要:
This disclosure describes systems and methods for a ventilator-derived CPAP system that mimics the flow and/or pressure oscillations or fluctuations of the B-CPAP system creating a breath type referred to herein as a mimicked-bubble-CPAP (M-CPAP) mode. Further, the disclosure describes systems and methods for delivery of other breath types with flow and/or pressure oscillations or fluctuations that mimic the oscillation observed during ventilation with the B-CPAP system, referred to herein as adjusted breath types.
