  • Publication number: 20150320949
    Abstract: An apparatus comprises a flow sensor configured to sense airflow between a respiration machine and a patient, a first connector configured to communicate air between the flow sensor and the patient, a second connector configured to communicate air between the flow sensor and the respiration machine, multiple pressure sensing ports configured for connection to pressure sensing tubes and configured to communicate gas pressure between the flow sensor and a pressure flowmeter, and a filter integrated with the flow sensor between the first connector and the pressure sensing ports and configured to communicate gas pressure therethrough while preventing contaminants from passing from the flow sensor to the pressure sensing tubes.

  • Publication number: 20100168599
    Abstract: A respiratory component measurement system that includes an airway adapter adapted to be placed in fluid communication with an airway of a patient and a sensor element in physical communication with the airway adapter. The sensor element is adapted to detect an orientation related characteristic of the airway adapter, a motion related characteristic of the airway adapter, or both. A respiratory component sensor is also adapted to be disposed on the airway adapter so as to measure a characteristic associated with a flow of gas through the airway adapter. An indicating element coupled to the respiratory component sensor is adapted to output a representation of the orientation related characteristic.
