Described is a method of stimulating airways of a mammal comprising: cyclically occluding a nasal air stream at a frequency rate between 50 Hz to 650 Hz. Also described is an apparatus for stimulating airways of a mammal, comprising: a fluid connection to each of a first and second naris of the mammal; and an occluding device configured to cyclically occlude a nasal air stream within each fluid connection at a frequency rate between 100 Hz to 650 Hz.

A system for providing a NO-containing gas flow to treat a biological object. The system includes a nozzle receptacle for receiving NO-rich air from a plasma-generated NO source, tubing coupled to the nozzle for directing the NO-rich air to a scrubber, the scrubber configured to receive a solvent for absorbing NO2, tubing coupled between the scrubber and a gas mixer for directing scrubbed NO-rich air to the gas mixer, where the gas mixer is coupled to a source of atmospheric air for selectively mixing the scrubbed NO-rich air with the atmospheric air to create diluted NO-containing air; and a manifold for distributing the diluted NO-containing air to a plurality of patient locations.

The present disclosure generally relates to systems and methods for delivery of therapeutic gas to patients, in need thereof, receiving breathing gas from a high frequency ventilator using at least enhanced therapeutic gas (e.g., nitric oxide, NO, etc.) flow measurement. At least some of these enhanced therapeutic gas flow measurements can be used to address some surprising phenomenon that may, at times, occur when wild stream blending therapeutic gas into breathing gas a patient receives from a breathing circuit affiliated with a high frequency ventilator. Utilizing at least some of these enhanced therapeutic gas flow measurements the dose of therapeutic gas wild stream blended into breathing gas that the patient receives can at least be more accurate and/or under delivery of therapeutic gas into the breathing gas can be avoided and/or reduced.

Described are methods for providing a pulsed dose of a gaseous drug over a portion of total inspiratory time, where the dose of the gaseous drug is delivered at a concentration of nL of gaseous drug per mL tidal volume.

Systems and methods for generating and delivering nitric oxide are provided. In one aspect, a nitric oxide generator includes an inlet arranged to receive a gas including nitrogen and oxygen, an outlet, a pair of electrodes arranged downstream of the inlet and configured to generate nitric oxide from the gas, a pressure regulator configured to selectively adjust a pressure of the gas surrounding the electrodes, an accumulator in communication with the pressure regulator, a nitric oxide sensor arranged to measure a concentration of nitric oxide at the outlet, and a controller in communication with the pair of electrodes, the pressure regulator, and the nitric oxide sensor. The controller is configured to selectively instruct the pressure regulator to adjust the pressure of the gas surrounding the electrodes in response to the concentration of nitric oxide measured at the outlet by the nitric oxide sensor.
