Abstract: Several methods of supporting respiratory function of a patient before, during and/or after a medical procedure are disclosed. In certain arrangements, supporting respiratory function while a patient is under general anaesthesia can include providing a high gas flow a high gas flow that is greater than 15 L/min while the patient is under general anaesthesia. In certain arrangements, a method of providing ventilation while a patient is under general anaesthesia involves providing only a gas flow delivered through a nasal interface that is greater than 15 L/min while the patient is under general anaesthesia.

Abstract: Introduced here are computer-implemented platforms (also referred to as “therapy platforms”) that are designed to improve adherence to, and success of, exercise therapy programs assigned to patients for completion. As part of an exercise therapy program, a patient may be requested to engage with a therapy platform. An exercise therapy program normally comprises a number of exercise therapy sessions in which the patient is instructed to perform physical activities. For example, the patient may be instructed to perform a series of exercises over the course of an exercise therapy session. The therapy platform can assist the patient by actively guiding her through the exercise therapy session.
