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.

Various systems and methods are provided for creating a wicking structure. In one example, a method for creating a wicking structure can include creating, using a 3D printing technique, a macro wicking element including a lattice structure formed by a grid of a first material, the lattice structure including pores formed between the grid of first material. The method can also include creating, using the 3D printing technique, a first micro wicking element including powder particles distributed within the pores of the lattice structure, and creating, using the 3D printing technique, a second micro wicking element by removing at least a portion of the lattice structure.

Described herein is a video laryngoscope apparatus for inspection of an oral cavity region of a patient is disclosed. The video laryngoscope includes an apparatus body, a camera arm unit configured to receive and releasably attach thereto a disposable laryngoscope blade, a light source coupled to the camera arm unit, a communication unit, and a power source. The apparatus body includes a proximal end and a distal end, and the apparatus body is elongate and configured to be hand-held by an operator of the video laryngoscope. The camera arm unit includes a proximal end and a distal end with a camera, and the proximal end of the camera arm unit is connected to the distal end of the apparatus body utilizing an adjustable rotary position linkage member. The communication unit is connected via a linkage device to the proximal end of the apparatus body, and the power source is housed by the apparatus body.

An electronic vaporizer system includes an anesthetic sump containing anesthetic agent, a vaporizer unit that vaporizes the anesthetic agent from the sump and delivers the vaporized agent to a patient breathing circuit, and a gas sensor configured to measure end tidal concentration of the anesthetic agent and exhalation gasses from the patient. A control system is configured to receive the measured end tidal concentration of anesthetic agent and compare the measured end tidal concentration to a desired end tidal concentration to be maintained for the patient. The vaporizer unit is then automatically controlled to deliver an amount of vaporized agent to the patient based on the comparison.
