Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To create a combination respiratory therapy prescription executed by a combination respiratory therapy device for providing a plurality of adjusted respiratory therapies for a patient.SOLUTION: A combination respiratory therapy management system 100 updates a combination respiratory therapy prescription and can execute updating while a combination respiratory therapy device 110 is used. Some version of the system provides an additional function so that a combination respiratory therapy prescription is created, accessed and shared with another user, and executed by a combination respiratory therapy device by a customized, easily used and non-menace method.
Abstract:
A device is provided for controlling the nitric oxide levels within the lungs of a subject. The device comprises a detector for detecting the respiration cycle of the subject and a stimulator for applying an acoustic or vibratory stimulus to the subject. The stimulator is controlled in dependence on the detected respiration cycle. In particular, acoustic stimulation may be provided at the onset of inspiration. In this way, the nitric oxide flow can be controlled in a way to ensure that the paranasal nitric oxide is nearly fully inspired. This provides a higher nitric oxide concentration in the lung/alveoli.
Abstract:
A gas blinder (10) comprises a fixed gasbag (11), a gas charging control device (13), and a gas discharging control device (15). The gas charging control device (13) and the gas discharging control device (15) are both electrically connected to a control device (16). The fixed gasbag (11) comprises a first gas intake opening (1101) and a first gas discharging opening (1103). The gas charging control device (13) is in sealed connection with the first gas intake opening (1101), and is used for charging, under the control of the control device (16), gas into the fixed gasbag (11) through the first gas intake opening (1101). The gas discharging control device (15) is in sealed connection with the first gas discharging opening (1103), and is used for discharging, under of the control of the control device (16), gas in the fixed gasbag (11) through the first gas discharging opening (1103). A wearable device using the gas blinder (10). The gas blinder (10) has a good light avoiding effect and a good wear comfort.
Abstract:
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation being provided to a subject is monitored. An enhanced measurement of the effectiveness of the cardiopulmonary resuscitation received by the subject is determined by correlating chest compressions with changes in movement and/or composition of gas at or near the airway of the subject. For example, one or more therapy parameters may be measured with an enhanced accuracy and/or precision, and/or one or more therapy parameters not monitored in conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation monitoring systems may be measured.
Abstract:
A ventilation device, for forcing a respiratory gas into a patient, has a flow sensor for sensing a flow of the respiratory gas at least into or out of the patient. A controller counts a number of cycles of the flow, and generates a control signal under control of a specific predetermined CPR procedure and of the number of cycles counted. The ventilation device has a signaling interface for receiving the control signal and for, in response thereto, generating an output indicative of a phase in the pre-determined CPR procedure.
