Disclosed are an apparatus, system, a kit and a method for delivering supplemental oxygen together with an aromatherapy active. The system comprises one or more oxygen containers for delivering of supplemental oxygen comprising between 35 and 40 percent oxygen—to a user. The system comprise one or more selectable aromatherapy pods, which may be incorporated into the supplemental oxygen delivery system to increase user satisfaction and promote the frequent use of the supplemental oxygen therapy to improve athletic performance.

Aspects of the invention include devices, systems, and methods for enhancing a user's sleep. A flexible frame supports a flow manifold which can be used in unison with adjoined or adjacently integrated supportive members utilized to create soft objects of various designs and materials. These types of objects can be in the form of a pillow, mattress topper, even a child's stuff animal and other various stationary and portable soft sided padded embodiments as disclosed in this application. These various designs and embodiments house an integrated flow delivery system which is delivers concentrated, pressurized, and or altered gaseous flowing elements in a controlled and fluidic manner as to help address certain types of sleeping and breathing issues during their resting and sleep states.

A lung isolation tube assembly comprising a control valve that is adapted to be moved between a left lumen position, a right lumen position, and a both lumens position, a connector that is in fluid communication with the control valve and having a port, and a tube that is in fluid communication with the connector. The tube comprises a left lumen that is in fluid communication with the connector and a right lumen that is in fluid communication with the connector. The assembly also comprises a first cuff that is disposed around a portion of the right lumen and the left lumen and a second cuff that is disposed around the left lumen. The assembly is adapted to convey airflow or oxygen to a human lung via at least one of the left lumen and the right lumen. A method for isolating a human lung.

Provided is a ventilator that includes a breathing system, a mechanical system coupled to breathing system, and a control system coupled to breathing system and mechanical system. The control system includes pressure sensors, processing circuitry, and memory configured to store a look-up table. The processing circuitry receives a set of values for plurality of parameters, identifies a compression value from a plurality of compression values in the look-up table based on the received set of values. The processing circuitry causes the mechanical system to compress a bag valve of the breathing system in accordance with the identified compression value. The compression of the bag valve causes a gaseous inhalant to flow through the breathing system within a time-interval. The processing circuitry determines an actual volume of the gaseous inhalant and iteratively modifies the compression value of the bag valve to match a desired volume of the gaseous inhalant.

A respiration device (1) supports cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and a method for operating a respiration device (1) supports cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The respiration device (1) has a control and regulation unit (7) in order to actuate an expiratory metering unit (3), and an inspiratory metering unit (2) such that, in a first phase, a current value of pressure is increased relative to a first pre-defined value (16) and such that, in a second phase, the current value of the pressure is reduced relative to the first pre-defined value (16).

A patient interface may include a dual chamber cushion assembly having a nasal chamber and an oral chamber. The nasal chamber may be arranged to deliver pressurized breathable gas to a patients nasal passages, and the oral chamber may be arranged to deliver pressurized breathable gas to the patients oral passages. The nasal chamber may be pressurized to a different level than an oral chamber to promote nasal breathing. An air passage may fluidly connect the nasal chamber and the oral chamber so that pressurized breathable gas may flow from the nasal chamber to the oral chamber.
