摘要: The systems, devices, and methods described herein relate to providing breathing gas to a patient using a base unit and an auxiliary unit configured to be removably disposed on or at least partially in the base unit. The base unit has several couplings for improved control and sensing of the auxiliary unit and its components, wherein the couplings are configured to be non-contact with the corresponding components of the auxiliary unit and/or otherwise configured to minimize operational defects or improve efficiency. Non-contact couplings include induction heating, capacitive level sensing, a magnetically coupled rotor pump, RFID tag and reader, and Hall effect sensing. The breathing gas can be provided at high velocities by setting breathing gas flowrates based on dimensions of a nasal cannula used to direct the breathing gas into a patient's nares.

摘要: Systems, methods, and devices for humidifying a breathing gas are presented. The system includes a base unit, a vapor transfer unit, a nasal cannula, and a liquid container. The base unit includes a blower. The vapor transfer unit is external to the base unit and includes a gas passage, a liquid passage, a gas outlet, and a membrane separating the gas passage and the liquid passage. The membrane permits transfer of vapor into the gas passage from liquid in the liquid passage. The nasal cannula is coupled to the gas outlet. The liquid container is configured to reversibly mate with the base unit.

摘要: Provided herein are devices, systems, and methods for introducing a nebulized medication into breathing gas for respiratory therapy. An apparatus includes a reservoir to contain a volume of medication, a vibrating mesh disposed at a reservoir outlet of the reservoir to receive a flow of the medication from the reservoir and output a flow of nebulized medication, a mixing chamber having a gas inlet to receive a flow of breathing gas from a gas source, and a nebulizer inlet to receive the flow of nebulized medication from the vibrating mesh, where the vibrating mesh is disposed between the nebulizer inlet and the reservoir outlet. The apparatus can include a pressure tap tube or other implement in fluid communication with the mixing chamber and the reservoir to selectively equalize pressure between the mixing chamber and a headspace in the reservoir above the volume of medication.
