An electronic vaporizer system includes an anesthetic sump containing anesthetic agent, a vaporizer unit that vaporizes the anesthetic agent from the sump and delivers the vaporized agent to a patient breathing circuit, and a gas sensor configured to measure end tidal concentration of the anesthetic agent and exhalation gasses from the patient. A control system is configured to receive the measured end tidal concentration of anesthetic agent and compare the measured end tidal concentration to a desired end tidal concentration to be maintained for the patient. The vaporizer unit is then automatically controlled to deliver an amount of vaporized agent to the patient based on the comparison.

This disclosure describes systems and methods for providing a high pressure controlled proportional assist ventilation breath type during ventilation of a patient. The disclosure describes a novel breath type that reduces ventilator support (or a percent support setting) based on the occurrence of a predetermined number of high pressure alarms.

An apparatus (1) for supplying a gas mixture to a patient, having a gas inlet line (30) with a gas inlet orifice (30a) that splits into a first gas line (31) and a second gas line (32); at least one permeation module (33) arranged on the second gas line (32), the said permeation module (33) having a feed port (33a) in fluidic communication with the second gas line (32), a retentate port (33b) and a permeate port (33c); a third gas line (34) in fluidic communication with the retentate port (33b) of the permeation module (33); a fourth gas line (35) in fluidic communication with the permeate port (33c) of the permeation module (33), and coupling fluidically to the said first gas line (31); and a source (360) of air in fluidic communication with the first gas line (31) and the fourth gas line (35).

The adapter for an oxygen delivery device is a continuation-in-part application configured for use with a previously disclosed oxygen delivery device. The adapter for an oxygen delivery device is modified to work with a single oxygen canister. The adapter for an oxygen delivery device attaches to the single oxygen canister. The adapter for an oxygen delivery device is configured for use with the distribution apparatus of the prior disclosure. The adapter for an oxygen delivery device comprises a canister adapter and a manual flow valve. The canister adapter is a mechanical structure that offsets the distribution apparatus such that the distribution apparatus will receive oxygen from the single oxygen canister. The manual flow valve is a plunger valve that attaches to the distribution apparatus. The manual flow valve controls the flow of oxygen into the distribution apparatus from the canister adapter.

Embodiments provide an aeromedical bio-containment module for use in a cargo plane. The aeromedical bio-containment module includes a fully integrated pallet system allowing for the module to roll onto the cargo plane. An integrated set of lugs allows the module to be locked into the cargo plane floor without the use of chains or other pallets. The aeromedical bio-containment module features a ward area for safe treatment of patients, an anteroom, and an office area for personnel. The aeromedical bio-containment module operates under a negative pressure system, and includes a full air filtration system to remove pathogens, particulates, and other airborne contaminants.

A high flow therapy system for delivering heated and humidified respiratory gas to an airway of a patient includes a respiratory gas flow pathway for delivering the respiratory gas to the airway of the patient by way of a non-sealing respiratory interface; wherein flow rate of the respiratory gas is controlled by a microprocessor, a mixing area for mixing a first gas and a second gas in the respiratory gas flow pathway, a humidification area downstream of the mixing area and configured for humidifying respiratory gas in the respiratory gas flow pathway, and a heated delivery conduit for minimizing condensation of humidified respiratory gas.

A breathing assistance apparatus is configured with features that improve serviceability of the apparatus. The apparatus can include animations to provide instruction regarding correcting easily-identified fault conditions and to provide instruction regarding routine maintenance routines. The apparatus also can be configured with top level control menus that are obscured in a manner to limit manipulation of the top level control elements by unauthorized users.

A nasogastric tube connector device includes an annular connector body for detachably engaging a through hole of a respirator mask having an inner peripheral surface defining a space, and a fixed member having a first concave surface and two side surfaces cooperating with the inner peripheral surface to define an opening of the space for passing of a nasogastric tube therethrough. A first plug member is detachably inserted through the opening into the space, and includes a second concave surface cooperating with the first concave surface to define a main tube hole communicating with the space. A second plug member is detachably inserted into the main tube hole to sealingly close the opening.

An information display and control system that enables a fast and easy understanding and management of the status of the patient's dialysis is disclosed. Also disclosed is an information display and control system that enables a fast and easy understanding and management of the status of the patient's cardiovascular and ventilation systems. The system can control management of a patient's dialysis, as well as administration and management of a patient's medication and fluids. The display is organized by goals related to management of patient's dialysis machine, blood flow, dialyzer flow, and patient's body weight. The display is also organized by goals related to management of patient's cardiovascular system, ventilation system, and medications and fluids administration and management. Such goals include urea reduction rate, urea reduction ratio, fractional urea clearance, total urea reduction, dialysis treatment duration, hemodynamics, oxygenation, CO.sub.2 removal, medication status, and fluids status.

The present disclosure relates to a monitoring device for measuring and monitoring breathing parameters and, optionally, oxygenation and/or vital sign parameters of a mechanically ventilated patient, the monitoring device being removably arrangeable at a portion of a ventilator breathing circuit provided between and in fluid connection with a mechanical ventilator and an airway of the patient. The monitoring device comprises a first sensor arrangeable at the fluid connection for measuring parameters related to an airflow in the fluid connection to obtain measurement data; a processor adapted to receive the measurement data from the first sensor and configured to process the measurement data into at least one breathing parameter; and a transmitter adapted to transmit data comprising the at least one breathing parameter to an external device.
