Patent number: 11746377Abstract: Methods and compositions disclosed herein generally relate to methods of improving clinical and economic outcomes to address adverse effects related to anesthesia, analgesics, opioids, and inadequate pain relief. Embodiments of the invention relate to the association between genes, specific polymorphisms of genes, and non-genetic factors with inadequate pain relief and anesthesia-, analgesic, and/or opioid-related adverse effects. Embodiments of the invention can be used to determine and manage patient risk factors for development of adverse perioperative effects and can allow for personalized anesthesia and pain management for improvement of pain control and reduction of anesthesia-, analgesic-, and opioid-related adverse outcomes. These methods and compositions apply to non-surgical pain management with opioids.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2020Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignee: CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL MEDICAL CENTERInventors: Senthilkumar Sadhasivam, Vidya Chidambaran, John McAuliffe, Kejian Zhang, Jaroslaw Meller, Cynthia A.

Patent number: 11529489Abstract: A respiratory mask assembly for delivering breathable gas to a patient includes a frame and a cushion. The cushion has a non-face contacting portion structured to be connected to the frame, a face-contacting portion structured to engage the patient's face, and a central portion that interconnects the non-face contacting portion and the face contacting portion. The frame may be structured to allow a forehead support to assume multiple positions, to compensate for replacement cushions that may have a different profile, shape or size. The cushion is structured to compensate for variations in strap tension, treatment pressure and/or movement of the patient. Headgear may be provided with a strap assembly in which one or more straps is provided with selectively adjustable elasticity or extensibility that may be automatically changed in dependence of treatment pressure and/or treatment type.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2021Date of Patent: December 20, 2022Assignee: ResMed Pty LtdInventors: Robert Henry Frater, Joanne Elizabeth Drew, Philip Rodney Kwok, Patrick John McAuliffe, Aaron Samuel Davidson, Robin Garth Hitchcock, Michael Kassipillai Gunaratnam, Donald Darkin, Gary Christopher Robinson
