A high flow therapy system for delivering heated and humidified respiratory gas to an airway of a patient, the system including 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 pressurized respiratory gas is controlled by a microprocessor.

A respiratory interface, such as a mouthpiece, having a vestibular shield overlapping a user's teeth and gums, a gases passageway extending through the vestibular shield allowing for the passage of the gases through mouthpiece and an extra oral seal associated with the gases passageway, wherein the passageway in use causes gases to be diffused when exiting from the gases passageway. Mouthpiece may have an adjustment mechanism to alter distance between the vestibular shield and the extra-oral seal. The interface may include an elbow having a vent.

An oxygen concentrator (100) may have a moisture conditioning system. In some implementations, the concentrator includes a compressor to induce feed gas into the concentrator. A first pathway may receive the feed gas from the compression system. The first pathway may be configured to draw moisture to produce moisture reduced feed gas. The first pathway may lead the moisture reduced feed gas to sieve bed(s) which produce oxygen enriched air with the moisture reduced feed gas. An accumulator may be configured to receive the produced oxygen enriched air from the sieve bed(s). A second pathway from the accumulator may apply the drawn-out moisture to the produced enriched air to produce humidified enriched air. A third pathway may transfer the drawn-out moisture from the first pathway to the second pathway. An outlet coupled with the second pathway may release the humidified enriched air from the concentrator for a user.

The present disclosure is directed to a plurality of air quality devices configured to be held in a user's mouth and configured to increase at least one of humidity and temperature and constitution of air inhaled. There are passive and active systems that allow for improved physical and lung performance.

Disclosed embodiments of an endotracheal tube (ETT) guard system help to hinder self-extubation of the ETT of an awake patient who may reflexively attempt removal, but also allow early mobilization and exercise necessary for preservation of muscle strength. Embodiments may include an ETT holder, which may be generic ETT holders offered by various medical device companies, or a specially configured ETT holder as described herein. Embodiments also may include a sensor that alarms when the ETT guard is moved beyond pre-set motion thresholds.

Systems and methods for managing the power consumption of an oxygen concentrator are disclosed. An oxygen concentration system may comprise a compression system, a canister system, one or more processors, and at least one of a pressure sensor or a movement sensor. The one or more processors may be configured to transition the oxygen concentration system to at least one of a prescribed mode of operation or a standby mode of operation. The timing of the transition may be based on at least one of a number of breaths detected from the pressure signals generated by the pressure sensor or an estimated energy content of the movement signal generated by the movement sensor. A predetermined volume or concentration of oxygen enriched air may be supplied to a user during the prescribed mode of operation. A reduced power may be provided to the compression system during the standby mode of operation.

A rigid intubation stylet with an extended tip for use during video laryngoscopic intubations. This tip is hyper angulated from the end of the stylet back towards the stylet body. The shape of the tip is conical and tapers down away from the body of the stylet. The tip is more pliable than the rigid stylet body. The stylet body is longer than traditional rigid stylets to allow the tip to extend past an endotracheal tube during endotracheal intubation.

A micro, single piece, tubeless, cordless, directly inserted oral, nasal or hybrid sleep apnea treatment/anti-snoring device having controlled positive air-flow using a vibrationally isolated micro-blower to maintain an individual's upper airway unobstructed (pharynx area) with or without lower jaw, mandibular advancement is disclosed.

A user-replaceable receptacle for an oxygen concentrator includes a containment structure and a desiccant disposed within the containment structure. An inlet end of the containment structure allows feed gas to be introduced into the desiccant. An outlet end of the containment structure allows the feed gas to exit the containment structure. A connection mechanism couples the outlet end of the containment structure to a gas separation adsorbent. The connection mechanism is operable between an unconnected position and a connection position. The desiccant in the user-replaceable receptacle removes water moisture from the feed gas prior to exiting the outlet end of the containment structure, thereby reducing exposure of the gas separation adsorbent to water.

The present disclosure relates to a respiratory system for exercising and analysing respiration of a subject comprising: a breathing unit comprising: a mouthpiece connected to: at least one inhalation air way, at least one exhalation air way, and an electronic sensor unit comprising at least one pressure gauge for measuring air pressure in the mouthpiece, and a processing unit for collecting/storing and/or transmitting air pressure data.
