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 nasal interface apparatus is provided for delivering a gas to a human via a gas supply tube and a pair of tubular nasal inserts. The apparatus includes a manifold hollow body defining an internal chamber, an inlet for fluid communication from the gas supply tube into the internal chamber, an outlet for fluid communication between the internal chamber and the pair of nasal inserts, and an air entrainment port for fluid communication between the internal chamber and a space external to the hollow body. The apparatus also includes a valve member movable relative to the hollow body for varying the size of the open area of the air entrainment port. The open area of the air entrainment port may be varied to regulate a pressure signal detected by a pulse-flow oxygen concentrator (POC).

Systems and methods may include a gas source, a gas delivery circuit, and a nasal interface allowing breathing ambient air through the nasal interface. A gas flow path through the nasal interface may have a distal gas flow path opening. A nozzle may be associated with a proximal end of the nasal interface a distance from the distal end gas flow path opening. At least a portion of an entrainment port may be between the nozzle and the distal end gas flow opening. The nozzle may deliver gas into the nasal interface to create a negative pressure area in the gas flow path at the entrainment port. The nasal interface and the nozzle may create a positive pressure area between the entrainment port and the distal end gas flow path opening. Gas from the gas delivery source and air entrained through the entrainment port may increase airway pressure or lung pressure or provide ventilatory support.

A ventilation therapy apparatus and a method for controlling the ventilation therapy apparatus. The ventilation therapy apparatus includes: a main body, a respiratory pipe, a patient interface, an oxygen supply module, an oxygen proportional valve and a control module; a first end of the respiratory pipe communicates with an output end of the main body; a second end of the respiratory pipe is connected to the patient interface, the oxygen supply module is connected to the main body through the oxygen proportional valve, the control module is configured for detecting output parameters of the main body, and when it is determined that the main body is in a preset state, the control module controls the oxygen proportional valve to open at a corresponding preset opening degree according to the output parameters, and controls the fan of the main body to run at a corresponding preset rotating speed.

An oxygen production system (100) may include a main control module (120) and a molecular sieve module (140). The molecular sieve module (140) may include a molecular sieve and a molecular sieve information unit. The molecular sieve information unit may be configured to store information of the molecular sieve. The main control module (120) may be configured to read, write and/or update the information of the molecular sieve stored in the molecular sieve information unit. When reading, in response to at least part of the information of the molecular sieve exceeding a preset range, the main control module (120) may control the oxygen production system (100) to perform a corresponding operation. The oxygen production system (100) may occupy small space, have good performance and a high oxygen production efficiency, and enable a user to obtain a more user-friendly experience.

A ventilator includes a bidirectional breath detection airline and a flow outlet airline. The flow outlet airline includes an airline outlet. The flow outlet airline is configured to be connected to an invasive ventilator circuit or a noninvasive ventilator circuit. The breath detection airline includes airline inlet. The airline inlet is separated from the airline outlet of the flow outlet airline. The ventilator further includes a pressure sensor in direct fluid communication with the breath detection airline. The pressure sensor is configured to measure breathing pressure from the user and generate sensor data indicative of breathing by the user. The ventilator further includes a controller in electronic communication with the pressure sensor. The controller is programmed to detect the breathing by the user based on the sensor data received from the pressure sensor.

A system for reducing airway obstructions of a patient may include a ventilator, a control unit, a gas delivery circuit with a proximal end in fluid communication with the ventilator and a distal end in fluid communication with a nasal interface, and a nasal interface. The nasal interface may include at least one jet nozzle, and at least one spontaneous respiration sensor in communication with the control unit for detecting a respiration effort pattern and a need for supporting airway patency. The system may be open to ambient. The control unit may determine more than one gas output velocities. The more than one gas output velocities may be synchronized with different parts of a spontaneous breath effort cycle, and a gas output velocity may be determined by a need for supporting airway patency.

Described are nasal cannulas that improve the precision of the delivered dose for nitric oxide therapy by reducing the dilution of nitric oxide. The nasal cannulas may reduce the total volume and potential for retrograde flow during nitric oxide therapy through the design of the specific dimensions of the flow path and/or having check valves in the nitric oxide delivery line and/or having a flapper or umbrella valve dedicated to nitric oxide delivery. The nasal cannulas may also use materials that limit oxygen diffusion through the cannula walls. The nosepiece for these cannulas may be manufactured by a molding technique.

An oxygen generator for respiration-synchronized oxygen supply is provided. An ultrasonic gas sensor is used in the oxygen generator to act as a detection element for detecting human inhalation or respiration. On the basis of data corresponding to the human inhalation detected by the ultrasonic gas sensor, a control unit makes an oxygen generating unit supply oxygen to a human body through an oxygen delivery pipeline only when the human body inhales, and not supply the oxygen to the human body at the rest of time, thereby realizing respiration-synchronized oxygen supply. The respiration-synchronized oxygen supply by the oxygen generator is realized at low cost with simple and convenient control, thereby greatly reducing the cost, volume, weight, energy consumption and noise of the oxygen generator and increasing portability.

The gas delivery conduit further can include a sensing conduit integrated into the gas delivery conduit, where the first connector of the gas delivery conduit is adapted to allow the user to couple the first connector with the respiratory gases delivery system in a single motion.
