A method includes applying, via a respiratory therapy system, initial therapy settings for a user during a first sleep session in which the user uses the respiratory therapy system. First physiological data, which is received from one or more sensors, is generated during the first sleep session. Modified therapy settings are applied, via the respiratory therapy system, during a second sleep session of the user. Second physiological data is received from the one or more sensors. The second physiological data is generated by the one or more sensors during the second sleep session. A set of sleep-related parameters is determined based on changes between the first physiological data and the second physiological data. One or more of a recommended therapy or recommended therapy settings is determined based on the set of sleep-related parameters.

A system that enables remote adjustment of oxygen flow from an oxygen source includes a gas source device fluidly coupled to a gas source, a remote delivery device with an outlet for providing gas to a user and an inlet fluidly coupled to an outlet of the gas source device, wherein the gas source device has a control system. The control system determines a current control setting of the remote delivery device based on pneumatic feedback from the remote delivery device and modifies a pressure of gas flowing from the gas source device to the remote delivery device based on the current control setting of the remote delivery device, so that a target flow volume of supply gas associated with the current control setting is delivered to the inlet.

Methods and apparatus provide automated circuit disconnection monitoring such as for a respiratory apparatus or system. Disconnection of a patient circuit, including a patient interface and air delivery circuit, may be detected and a message or alarm activated. In some versions, detecting occurrences of circuit disconnection event(s), such as by a processor, may be based on an instantaneous disconnection parameter as a function of a disconnection setting. The disconnection setting may be determined based on patient circuit type. The instantaneous disconnection parameter may be determined from detected pressure and flow rate, and may be, for example, a conductance value or an impedance value. Disconnection events may be qualified by one or more detected respiratory indicators. In some cases, instantaneous impedance or conductance may be used to assess re-connection of a patient circuit, detection of flow starvation, determine breath shape for triggering and cycling and to detect patient or circuit obstructions.

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 method of ventilating a patient controls an actuator, in accordance with a prescribed value for a respiratory parameter, to compress an inflatable bag to cause air to flow out of an output valve of the bag. The respiratory parameter may include tidal volume, pressure, volume limit, peak pressure, I:E ratio, inspiratory time, and/or breathing rate of the air flowing through the output valve. The method also senses the pressure flowing through the output valve, and sends a pressure signal to the controller. Additionally, the method senses the flow rate through the output valve, and sends a flow rate signal to the controller. The method also adjusts the compression of the actuator as a function of the flow rate signal and/or the pressure signal to adjust the output tidal volume, pressure, volume limit, peak pressure, I:E ratio, inspiratory time, and/or breathing rate to be in accordance with the prescribed value.

In an embodiment, a connector or connector assembly for attaching a nasal cannula with a gas delivery hose includes a sensor port for a sensor probe positioned near an end of a nasal cannula, which can allow the sensor probe to be placed closer to the patient's nostrils than previous connector parts allowed. The connector can be configured to advantageously allow the nasal cannula to rotate relative to the gas delivery hose, thereby allowing a patient or healthcare provider to untangle or otherwise straighten the hose or the cannula. The connector assembly can be configured to automatically align locking protrusions on a first component with locking recesses on a second component, where insertion of the second component within the first component causes the second component to rotate relative to the first component, thereby aligning the locking protrusions with associated locking recesses.

Disclosed are an apparatus, system, a kit and a method for delivering supplemental oxygen together with an aromatherapy active. The system comprises one or more oxygen containers for delivering of supplemental oxygen comprising between 35 and 40 percent oxygen—to a user. The system comprise one or more selectable aromatherapy pods, which may be incorporated into the supplemental oxygen delivery system to increase user satisfaction and promote the frequent use of the supplemental oxygen therapy to improve athletic performance.

A respiration device (1) supports cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and a method for operating a respiration device (1) supports cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The respiration device (1) has a control and regulation unit (7) in order to actuate an expiratory metering unit (3), and an inspiratory metering unit (2) such that, in a first phase, a current value of pressure is increased relative to a first pre-defined value (16) and such that, in a second phase, the current value of the pressure is reduced relative to the first pre-defined value (16).
