  • Publication number: 20210315469
    Abstract: A method and a system to monitor the progression of a pulmonary ailment in patients who are mechanically ventilated or spontaneously breathing. By delivering specific gases to the patient and monitoring the release of those gases over various timescales, the system monitors the progression of pulmonary shunt. No invasive procedures are required, and the system is able to operate through the sole delivery and monitoring of respiratory gases.

  • Patent number: 11000209
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and systems for estimating an efficiency of lungs of a patient receiving respiratory care. A blender has a primary input port for receiving a first gas to be delivered to the patient and one or more secondary input ports for receiving a second gas to be delivered to the patient from one or more gas sources. A patient-side port of the blender delivers the first and second gases to the patient. A gas composition sensor measures a fraction of the first gas and a gas flow sensor measures a flow of the first gas. A controller causes a sequential delivery of the first and second gases to the patient and estimates a functional residual capacity of the patient based on measurements from the gas composition sensor and from the gas flow sensor. The controller may also estimate a cardiac output of the patient.

  • Publication number: 20200101254
    Abstract: A method, system and apparatus for assessing the coupling between lung perfusion and ventilation in a patient who is mechanically ventilated or who is breathing spontaneously through a conventional artificial airway is provided. Embodiments of the apparatus comprise an adaptor configured to fit between the artificial airway and mechanical ventilator, a measuring chamber in constant fluid communication with the adaptor via one or more measuring chamber sampling ports, and a monitoring unit where data obtained from temperature and relative humidity sensors located in the measuring is calibrated, sampled, logged and analyzed together with anthropometric patient data to display a coupling index Qi and to enable ongoing diagnostic cardio-pulmonary monitoring of a patient by comparing changes in the patient's index during a monitoring interval.

  • Patent number: 9931056
    Abstract: A compound membrane breathing tube for use in spirometric applications is provided. The compound membrane comprises a first sheet and a second sheet of flexible sheeting connected together along the periphery thereof, and each of the sheets has an opening cut therethrough to create a flap. The flap of the first sheet overlaps the flap of the second sheet so as to present a higher relative resistance to airflow through the breathing tube at lower airflows.
