A system (1000) feeds substances to a patient (30) with a ventilation of the patient and with an oxygenation of the patient. The system (1000) has at least one ventilation system (1), a sedation by inhalation system (17) with a dispensing system (7), an oxygenation system (2), a breathing gas dispensing path (3), a purge gas dispensing path (4), a breathing gas connection system (5), a connection element (25) located adjacent to the patient, an oxygenation connection system (6) and a switching unit (8). The switching unit (8) is configured to distribute and to split a quantity of an inhalable substance dispensed into a gas mixture by means of the dispensing system (7) between the connection element (25) located adjacent to the patient and the oxygenation system (2). At least one control unit (9, 10, 11, 12) is configured to control the switching unit (8) and/or the system (1000).

A method of controlling a flow rate of gases supplied to a patient by a respiratory assistance device includes controlling the supply gases flow rate so as to deliver gases to the patient according to a predetermined gases pressure/flow rate profile for at least a portion of the breathing cycle. A profile may be achieved that provides the patient with a particular benefit or therapy.

The present disclosure provides for a microneedle array. The microneedle array is useable for delivering an active agent to a subject. The microneedle array includes a base having microneedles disposed thereon, wherein each of the microneedles is formed of (i) a swellable and water-insoluble matrix comprising a crosslinked polymer or (ii) a water-soluble matrix comprising a water-soluble polymer; and a conductive polymer incorporated in the swellable and water-insoluble matrix or the water-soluble matrix. A device configured to deliver an active agent and a method of delivering an active agent through the device, wherein the device includes the microneedle array, are provided herein. A method of producing the microneedle array is also disclosed herein.

Described herein is a video laryngoscope designed for easy and safe operation comprising an apparatus body, a laryngoscope camera arm unit, and an associated laryngoscope blade releasably attached to the laryngoscope camera arm unit. The laryngoscope camera arm unit is angularly adjustable by use of a rotary linkage member connected to a distal end of the apparatus body. A communication unit is connected to a linkage device at a proximal end of the apparatus body. A light source and a video camera are located on the laryngoscope camera arm unit. The laryngoscope blade has at least two internal fluidic channels for delivering fluid to oral cavity regions of a patient and providing suction of bodily fluids from the patient.

The device for dispensing medication for migraine treatment may comprise a medication applicator, an activator, and a safety interlock. The medication applicator may store a medication and may dispense the medication as an aerosol mist. The medication applicator may be adapted to dispense the medication through a nostril of a user directed at a sphenopalatine ganglion. The activator may be operable to release the medication in two doses—a first dose may be dispensed upon the activation of a first button and a second dose may be dispensed upon the activation of a second button. The safety interlock may prevent premature dispensing of the medication and may constrain dispensing such that the first dose must be dispensed before the second dose. The invention may be adapted for the user to self-administer the medication while the user is upright.

Systems and methods for delivering a gas, such as nitric oxide, are provided. In some embodiments, systems and methods are provided for delivering a gas, such as nitric oxide, in the form of nanobubbles and/or a dissolved gas using a liquid medium.
