A gas-driven, pressure-regulated ventilator (10, 210) provides support for spontaneous breathing and non-breathing patients. The ventilator provides short pressure cycled and constant flow ventilatory support that allows the patient to receive consistent and reliable ventilatory breaths. The ventilator is designed to allow a clinician to adjust Peak Inspiratory Pressure (PIP) and Positive End Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) values and the duration of inhalation and exhalation flows in a breath cycle to accommodate patient-specific ventilation needs.

A system provides warm, humidified pas to a patient via a patient interface. Horizontal connections can be used between the humidification chamber and conduit. To reduce the likelihood of condensate flowing back to the humidification chamber, or dead space or gases recirculation regions occurring within the gases flow path, a raised portion is positioned inside of the flow path to improve flow characteristics and to provide a barrier for condensate back flow. The raised portion also reduces the amount of condensate that is formed in the system and provides better flow characteristics for sensing purposes.

A respiratory treatment device including an OPEP (oscillating positive expiratory pressure) mechanism, a Huff Cough mechanism, a user interface, and a conduit leading from the user interface to the OPEP mechanism and the Huff Cough mechanism, wherein air flow through the conduit is selectively directed to the OPEP mechanism and the Huff Cough mechanism.

A mechanical ventilator is provided that includes a dashboard display identifying a patient's current ventilatory status within a global or universal ventilatory mechanics map. This dashboard display is dynamically updated with the patient's condition, and shows trends in the patient's ventilation over time. The map identifies suggested safe and unsafe regions of ventilation for the patient, and the ventilator can display informational texts, trigger auditory and/or visual alarms, and transmit alarm communications in response to determining that the patient is approaching or has entered an unsafe region.

A system for detecting manual ventilation and selectively delivering a high flow of oxygen. The system comprises a source of compressed oxygen coupled to a first lumen of a nasal cannula, with an oxygen flow control valve coupled to a processor to control the flow of oxygen to the nasal cannula. A second lumen of the nasal cannula is in connection with a pressure sensor and the pressure sensor in connection with the processor. The processor may receive the pressure values and be programmed to determine when manual ventilation has occurred, and send a signal to the oxygen flow control valve to send a high flow of oxygen in response to manual ventilation.

A ventilation system includes an electrochemical filter for depleting alkyl phenols, especially 2,6-diisopropyl phenol, in breathing gas. A method uses the filter for removing alkyl phenols, especially 2,6-diisopropyl phenol, from breathing gas.

A process adjusts a ventilation parameter (40) for a ventilation process (90) of a patient (110), which is carried out by a ventilator (20). Electrical impedance tomographic (EIT) data (70) of the lungs (111) of the patient (110), concerning the ventilation process (90), are collected by an EIT device (30). An adjusting device (1), adjusting a ventilation parameter (40) for the ventilation process (90), has an analysis unit (2) with a memory (3), a data input unit (5) data-communicatingly connected to the analysis unit (2) for receiving data and a data output unit (7) data-communicatingly connected to the analysis unit (2) for outputting data. A medical system (100), includes a ventilator (20), an EIT device (30) as well as the adjusting device (1) for adjusting a ventilation parameter (40) for the ventilation process (90) of a patient (100).

A pressure safety device is used with a bag valve mask (BVM) for preventing over-pressurization. The BVM includes a bag assembly having a bag connector for detachably mating to a mask connector on a patient mask. The pressure safety device has a housing with a bag port, a mask fitting, and a flow path from the bag port to the mask fitting. The bag port detachably connects to the bag connector on the BVM, and the mask fitting detachably connects to the mask connector on the BVM. The pressure safety device includes an automatic flow reduction valve located on the flow path in the housing and impedes flow when pressure on a bag connector side of the valve exceeds a maximum threshold value.

A system that enables remote adjustment of oxygen flow from an oxygen source includes a gas source device fluidly coupled to a gas source, a remote delivery device with an outlet for providing gas to a user and an inlet fluidly coupled to an outlet of the gas source device, wherein the gas source device has a control system. The control system determines a current control setting of the remote delivery device based on pneumatic feedback from the remote delivery device and modifies a pressure of gas flowing from the gas source device to the remote delivery device based on the current control setting of the remote delivery device, so that a target flow volume of supply gas associated with the current control setting is delivered to the inlet.

The present disclosure provides removable airway appliance for guiding and developing the lower and upper jaws forward. The present invention prevents crowding of the teeths and makes room for all the teeth, making room for all permanent teeth without crowding, creates space for all the permanent teeth. The present invention may grow the upper jaw forward and unrestrict the lower jaw that is often trapped back behind the upper jaw. The present invention guides and develops the lower and upper jaws forward, and widen the upper jaw, making room for the tongue in the mouth to maximize the airway space. In removable airway appliance, on the horizontal axis the screws can be positioned flat at a small angle or at a steeper angle to help direct the direction of growth and development of the upper and lower jawbones.
