Abstract: Breath sampling line including a sample cell housing and a breath sampling tube, the breath sampling tube having a first end connected to the sample cell housing, a second end configured to be connected to a respiratory output device, and a pervaporation tubing; the pervaporation tubing located at the first end of the breath sampling tube.

Abstract: An endoscopic bite block, with teeth position defining regions which guide the subject's teeth to grip the bite block in their natural position, with the teeth of the upper jaw positioned further out than the lower jaw teeth. These teeth position defining regions are also preferably curved to match the curved shape of the jaw. The upper and lower parts of the front plate of the bite block may also be positioned at different distances out, so that upper and lower lip regions both contact the front plate snuggly. The bite block may be used with separate oral/nasal cannulae, or may incorporate breath sampling or gas supply cannulae. A flexible flapped curtain at the outer end of the bite block may be provided to largely enclose the inner volume of the bite block to enable more accurate capnographic sampling under conditions of wide-open mouth breathing.

Abstract: An airway access device having a first end including a first connector configured to be connected to an airway device; a second end including a second connector configured to be connected to a ventilation machine; an airway channel extending between said first and second ends; and at least two access ports configured to allow access into a patients airway without disconnecting the ventilation machine.

Abstract: Control logic, device and method including same configured to receive a measured carbon dioxide (CO2) related parameter of a patient, to obtain a patient specific baseline for said CO2 related parameter, the patient specific baseline determined based on a characteristic of the patient; to compute a deviation of the measured CO2 related parameter from the patient specific baseline; and to trigger an alarm when the deviation crosses a predetermined threshold value.
