Автор: Bruce D. Spiess, Cindy Munro, Curtis N. Sessler, Kevin R. Ward, Laurence J. Dinardo, Mary Jo Grap, Rao R. Ivatury
Принадлежит: Virginia Commonwealth University

Ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) may be prevented in a patient, or its occurrence reduced in a population of patients, by using an anti-VAP device or an anti-VAP material such as an anti-VAP mouthpiece that absorbs secretions. By reducing the problem of bacterial-containing secretions that otherwise build up in the airway of, and elsewhere in, the intubated patient, VAP can be prevented from occurring in intubated patients, such as patients intubated with an endotracheal tube (ETT) or a nasogastric tube. Anti-VAP mouthpieces also are useable in non-intubated patients to maintain oral hygiene.

The invention is a device for the introduction of a fluid into a human's airway. The air so introduced has a carefully modulated envelope of pressure vs. time, this envelope generally consisting of sequences of pressurized air packets of controlled frequency and pressures. The device produces these packets by means of pressurized air occluded by a shutter action which “chops” and interrupts the fluid stream. The vibrations induced by the device within human organs have been shown to have beneficial effects on various bodily systems, such as increase in heart rate variability, increase in absorbed oxygen, decrease in absorbed CO2, and the like.

Принадлежит: Draëger Medical GmbH

A process for the automatic control of a respirator with a changeover between phases of respiration (inspiration and expiration), by a control unit checking a breathing activity signal for a threshold criterion. If the threshold criterion is met, a changeover is made and the control unit controls the fan of the respirator such that a pneumatic respiration variable (airway pressure, flow) is brought from an actual value to a preset target value for the new phase of respiration. The control unit further divides the change in the respiration variable, from the actual value to the target value, into a plurality of partial steps and checks the current breathing activity signal for the threshold criterion after each partial step. If this threshold criterion is no longer met, the state of operation of the respirator returns to the state before the last changeover, and otherwise, continues with the next partial step.

Intermittent dosing of nitric oxide gas

Принадлежит: Pulmonox Technologies Corp, Sensormedics Corp

A method and corresponding device are described for combating microbes and infections by delivering intermittent high doses of nitric oxide to a mammal for a period of time and which cycles between high and low concentration of nitric oxide gas. The high concentration of nitric oxide is preferably delivered intermittently for brief periods of time that are interspersed with periods of time with either no nitric oxide delivery or lower concentrations of nitric oxide. The method is advantageous because at higher concentration, nitric oxide gas overwhelms the defense mechanism of pathogens that use the mammalian body to replenish their thiol defense system. A lower dose or concentration of nitric oxide gas delivered in between the bursts of high concentration nitric oxide maintains nitrosative stress pressure on the pathogens and also reduces the risk of toxicity of nitric oxide gas.

Microfluidic device and method of use

Номер: US20120260718A1
Автор: Douglas Ray Sparks, Nader Najafi, Richard Thayre Smith
Принадлежит: Integrated Sensing Systems Inc

A microfluidic device and sensing method that utilize a resonating tube configured to have sufficient sensitivity to be capable of sensing the volume of a gas present as bubbles in a liquid or the flow rate and/or density of a gas or gas mixture flowing through the tube. The tube has a freestanding tube portion supported above a surface of a substrate so as to be capable of vibrating in a plane normal to the surface of the substrate. As a gas-containing fluid flows through an internal passage of the tube, a drive signal vibrates the freestanding tube portion at a resonant frequency thereof. Coriolis-induced deflections of the freestanding tube portion are sensed relative to the substrate to produce an output corresponding to the sensed deflections, and the drive signal and/or the output are assessed to determine the volume, density and/or flow rate of the gas of the gas-containing fluid.

A system and method for delivering a flow of gas to an airway of a patient ( 54 ). The system includes a gas flow generator ( 52 ) and a patient circuit ( 56 ) comprising a conduit ( 100 ) that communicates the flow of gas to a patient. A sensor ( 62 ) is configured to measure a rate of the flow gas and generate flow signals based on the measured rate of flow. A controller ( 64 ) is operatively connected with the gas flow generator ( 52 ) and the sensor ( 62 ) and is configured to control a pressure of the flow of gas provided to the patient. The controller ( 64 ) receives the flow signals from the sensor ( 62 ), determines a rate of change in the flow of the gas, and modifies or compensates the pressure of the flow of gas provided to the patient if the rate of change in the flow of gas provided to the patient exceeds a threshold amount.
