Abstract: The invention relates to a device for determining two or more respiratory parameters relating to an individual and a method for determining two or more respiratory parameters relating to an individual by means of the device. The disclosed device and method may be used in an individual suffering from pulmonary gas exchange problems relating to gas exchange of oxygen and/or carbon dioxide, e.g. a patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The device and method may also be used in a healthy individual or in an animal, e.g. for research experiments. The device has detection means for oxygen and carbon dioxide contents in inspired and expired gas and blood.

Abstract: The invention relates to a gas mixing device (10) for an air-way management system. The device has an elongated chamber (C) with a first gas inlet port (1P) being arranged for intake of atmospheric air (AA) into the chamber, the first inlet port being positioned at an end section of the internal chamber. Further, a second gas inlet port (2P) is arranged for intake of a gas (G) into the chamber (C), the second gas inlet port having an injector (INJ) from which the gas can exit into the chamber with an injection direction (ID), the injection direction having a projection (ID_proj) being oppositely directed relative to an in-flow direction (F) of the first gas inlet port (1P) so as to provide mixing of the atmospheric air and the gas. Opposite the first gas inlet port (1P) there is a breathing port (3P) for allowing an individual to breathe through the gas mixing device.
