Abstract: A portable ventilator module is provided and includes a data module capable of artificial intelligence (AI) and/or machine learning (ML). The ventilator module is detachably attachable to an anaesthesia module to enable a single device to collect data from a patient in critical care and theatre environments. Also provided is a system for the unbroken acquisition of data from the entire patient stay in critical care, emergency areas and theatres in a single device by including a data module capable of AI or ML within a portable ventilator module, wherein the portable ventilator module can provide life-sustaining ventilation support to a patient in critical care and wherein the portable ventilator can dock with an anaesthesia module to provide anaesthesia during operations in theatre so that a machine change from an ICU ventilator to a separate anaesthesia machine and back again is not required, thereby avoiding data loss.

Abstract: An anaesthetic halocarbon capture system is provided. The system includes a pressure-intolerant sleeve containing filter material for capturing one or more types of anaesthetic halocarbon prior to supercritical fluid extraction, and a pressure-tolerant housing into which the sleeve can be inserted so as to permit exposure of the sleeve contents to pressures required for supercritical fluid extraction.
