Described are systems for beds that can include sensors for sensing physical phenomena in an environment surrounding a bed, a display for outputting information about the environment, the bed, and a sleeper, and a controller communicably coupled to the sensors. The controller can receive the sensed physical phenomena from the sensors, analyze the physical phenomena to determine at least one of environmental, sleep, and health metrics of a sleeper in the bed, and determine, based on at least one of the environmental, sleep, and health metrics of the sleeper, control signals to modify the environment surrounding the bed. The controller can also output, at the display, the environmental, sleep, and health metrics of the sleeper. The controller can also transmit the control signals to a second controller in order to engage a home automation device. The physical phenomena can include ambient sound, ambient light, ambient CO2 concentration, and/or ambient temperature.

Provided herein is a capnography fitting for use in a capnography system wherein the capnography fitting is configured to fit inhalation masks of various sizes and shapes so that viable carbon dioxide readings can be obtained from an air sample obtained from a patient's exhaled gas. The fitting includes a rigid tube having a proximal end inlet configured to receive an inhalation gas and to slidably engage a mixed gas fitting, and a distal end outlet configured to slidably engage directly to an inlet of an inhalation mask configured to cover a nose and/or mouth. The tube also includes an angled port in fluid communication with and disposed adjacent to the proximal end inlet or the distal end outlet. Methods and kits are also provided.

A high flow therapy system for delivering heated and humidified respiratory gas to an airway of a patient includes 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 respiratory gas is controlled by a microprocessor, a mixing area for mixing a first gas and a second gas in the respiratory gas flow pathway, a humidification area downstream of the mixing area and configured for humidifying respiratory gas in the respiratory gas flow pathway, and a heated delivery conduit for minimizing condensation of humidified respiratory gas.

A ventilator system is capable of displaying complex information patterns in a GUI, thereby allowing a clinician to get subtract complex information from multiple parameters inputs.

A nasal interface uses asymmetrical nasal delivery elements to deliver an asymmetrical flow through the interface to both nares or to either nare, and a mouthpiece may be inserted to maintain a leak, to improve dead space clearance in the upper airways, decrease peak expiratory pressure, reduce noise, increase safety of the therapy for smaller patients and reduce resistance in the interface allowing desired flow rates to be achieved at reduced motor speeds of associated flow generating devices. Different forms of fittings, such as sleeves or inserts can be attached to nasal delivery elements to improve or optimize the therapeutic effects of nasal high flow. It may allow high pressures to be achieved at lower flow rates, reduce noise, improve patient comfort and efficiently clear anatomical dead space.

A breathing device, comprising a mouthpiece forming a breathing channel, to form a connection between a first end and a second end of the mouthpiece; the first end being configured for a user breathing into the mouthpiece through a breathing opening; an at least partly flexible rebreathing air chamber attached to the second end of the mouthpiece, thereby being in fluid connection with the breathing channel; the rebreathing air chamber being formed by at least partly flexible wall section(s), the at least partly flexible rebreathing chamber having at a first wall section, being permeable to gas by a plurality of pores provided in said wall section and/or the mouth piece comprising one or more though going openings.

A hood for a sterilization system including a return line (132) to provide for airflow between first and second ends; a hood (116) having an opening situated in a top wall and configured to be coupled to a tube; and couplers (126) configured to couple the hood to adjacent ones of a plurality of support struts (114) to configure the hood to form an opening (128) leading to a cavity (129), wherein the cavity is configured to receive at least a portion of a head of a subject (101) receiving respiratory gas from a ventilator (170) such that the plurality of support struts are situated outside of the cavity, wherein the hood is configured to enable ambient air into the airflow while over the portion of the head of the subject.

Dispensing systems for a ventilator circuit having a ventilator flow circuit with a normal inhalation flow path with a heat and moisture exchanger (HME), a flow sensor in communication with the ventilator circuit, an automated drug dispensing system with an actuator and a pressurized canister residing upstream of the HME, a bypass inhalation flow path residing downstream of the pressurized canister, and at least one electromechanical valve residing in the inhalation flow path to selectively open the valve which can be normally closed to define a closed bypass path. At least one controller opens the at least one electromechanical valve to open the bypass inhalation flow path and close the normal inhalation flow path through the HME only when the flow sensor indicates air flow is in an inhalation direction. Once the valve is open, the actuator dispenses medication through the bypass inhalation flow path to the patient.
