A respiratory assistance system can provide high flow therapy to patients. The respiratory assistance system can include a patient interface that can deliver a gas flow to a patient and a gas source that can drive the gas flow towards the patient interface at an operating flow rate. The system can include a controller for controlling the operating flow rate of the gas. The controller can apply multiple test flow rate values in a range as the operating flow rate. For each of the test flow rate values, the controller can measure a patient parameter. The controller can determine a new flow rate value based on the measured patient parameters. Patient parameters can include respiration rate, work of breathing, or any other parameters related to the respiratory circuit.

Systems and methods are provided herein for treating a patient in cardiogenic shock. An intravascular heart pump system is inserted into vasculature of the patient. The heart pump system has a cannula, pump outlet, pump inlet, and rotor. The heart pump system is positioned within the patient such that the cannula extends across the patient's aortic valve, the pump inlet is located within the patient's left ventricle, and the pump outlet is located within the patient's aorta. Data related to time-varying parameters of the heart pump system is acquired from the heart pump system. A plurality of features are extracted from the data. A probability of survival of the patient is determined based on the plurality of features and using a prediction model. The heart pump system is operated to treat the patient.

An airway adjunct or airway assembly that comprises a gas administration tube and a gas sampling tube can be utilized to improve health care to a patient. The gas administration tube may be connected, for example, to an oxygen source. The gas sampling tube may be connected, for example, to capnography equipment. Internal terminal ends of the gas administration tube and gas sampling tube can be longitudinally offset from one another within the airway assembly, which may reduce diffusion of the exhaled gas to be sampled, thereby increasing monitoring accuracy. Some embodiments of the present disclosure comprise an airway adjunct adaptable to attach into or onto various types of airway devices.

A method includes emitting an acoustic signal into an airway of a user. The method further includes, detecting an acoustic reflection of the acoustic signal caused by one or more physical features within the airway of the user. The method also includes analyzing acoustic data associated with the acoustic reflection. The method also further includes characterizing an occurrence of the physical obstruction in the airway of the user. The characterization is based, at least in part, on the analyzed acoustic data. The characterization is indicative of an apnea event or a hypopnea event in the user, wherein the apnea event comprises an obstructive apnea event, a central apnea event or a mixed apnea event, and further distinguishes between the occurrence of the obstructive apnea event, the central apnea event, the mixed apnea event or the hypopnea event in the user.

A method includes receiving first data associated with a first sleep session of a user. The method also includes determining a first set of sleep-related parameters associated with the first sleep session of the user based at least in part on the first data. The method also includes receiving second data associated with a second sleep session of the user. The method also includes determining a second set of sleep-related parameters associated with the second sleep session of the user based at least in part on the second data. The method also includes receiving third data associated with a variable condition. The method also includes causing one or more indications associated with the variable condition and the first sleep session, the second sleep session, or both to be communicated to the user.

A therapeutic device for treating an acute medical condition of a patient such as cardiac arrest is provided. The device includes one or more sensors that monitor parameters such as heart rhythm that relate to the patient's medical condition. The device also includes a plurality of medication reservoirs, each reservoir including a conduit, wherein each reservoir holds a predetermined medication that may be used to treat the condition. A manifold is connected with the reservoirs via their respective conduits. A delivery line is connected with the manifold to deliver fluids from the manifold to the patient intravenously. One or more medication pumps are in fluid connection with respective ones of the reservoirs. A processor is connected with the sensors. The processor includes a memory that stores processing instructions to interpret the parameters and to determine a recommended medication to deliver to the patient based on the parameters, the recommended medication being one of the predetermined medications. The processor is operatively connected with the medication pumps. When a recommended medication is determined, the processor actuates the medication pump connected with the reservoir including the recommended medication to deliver the medication to the patient via the manifold and the delivery line.

Methods and systems for targeting, accessing and diagnosing diseased lung compartments are disclosed. The method comprises introducing a diagnostic catheter with an occluding member at its distal end into a lung segment via an assisted ventilation device; inflating the occluding member to isolate the lung segment; and performing a diagnostic procedure with the catheter while the patient is ventilated. The proximal end of the diagnostic catheter is configured to be attached to a console. The method may also comprise introducing the diagnostic catheter into the lung segment; inflating the occluding member to isolate the lung segment; and monitoring blood oxygen saturation. The method may further comprise introducing the diagnostic catheter into the lung segment; determining tidal flow volume in the lung segment; determining total lung capacity of the patient; and determining a flow rank value based on the tidal flow volume of the lung segment and the total lung capacity.
