Flow rate compensation for transient thermal response of hot-wire anemometers
ActiveUS20100218765A1Operating means/releasing devices for valvesVolume/mass flow by thermal effectsEngineeringOxygen
Systems and methods are described for application of a transitory corrective modification to a hot-wire anemometer flow voltage and / or calculated flow rate to compensate for transient thermal response of the anemometer during a change in mixture of a mixed gas being measured. According to one embodiment a method of applying the transitory corrective modification is provided. An output signal of an exhalation flow sensor of a medical ventilator is received. The flow sensor includes a hot-wire anemometer. The output signal is indicative of a rate of flow of expired gas by a patient. Transient thermal response of the hot-wire anemometer is compensated for by applying a corrective modification to the output signal or a value based thereon. The corrective modification is based at least in part on a fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) being supplied by the medical ventilator to the patient.

Endotracheal tube using leak hole to lower dead space
InactiveUS7107991B2Efficient removalReduce dead spaceTracheal tubesBreathing masksLarynxEndotracheal tube
A tracheal tube ventilation apparatus to more effectively remove expired gases. In one preferred embodiment, one or more leak holes are created in the side walls of an endotracheal tube so that expired gases can leak out of the endotracheal tube above the larynx, such as into the back of the mouth (i.e., oropharynx). Each leak hole might advantageously have a diameter between 0.5 and 4.0 mm. In another preferred embodiment, a tube is attached to a proportionately larger leak hole (e.g., up to 8.0 mm) so that the expired gases can be directed away from the leak hole to a specific location, such as directed out of the mouth. In the case of mechanically controlled ventilation, a positive end expiratory pressure can be applied to this tube to mechanically assist with the process of exhaling. In each of these embodiments, it is preferred, but not required, that the endotracheal tube be an ultra-thin walled, two stage tube so as to further assist in the reduction of resistance to the flow of oxygen / air.

Rapid detection method for expired gas through on-line enrichment gas chromatography
The invention discloses a rapid detection method for expired gas through an on-line enrichment gas chromatography. The method mainly comprises the steps that: a collector is selected by using the expired gas to collect alveolar gas in the expired gas; VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) in the alveolar gas are adsorbed by a preconcentrator; the preconcentrator is heated to enable the VOCs enriched on an adsorbent to be desorbed; the preconcentrator is blown back by carrier gas to enable the VOCs subjected to the heat desorption to enter a chromatographic separation column along with the carrier gas for separation; and component gases of the VOCs after the separation enter a microplasma detector along with the carrier gas. After component gas molecules of the VOCs enter a discharge chamber of the microplasma detector, the component gas molecules are excited by the existing high-energy metastable-state particles, then are jumped back to ground states, and send characteristic optical signals; the characteristic optical signals sent by the jumping of the component molecules of the VOCs are focused and coupled to an optical fiber by a lens; the characteristic optical signals are transmitted by the optical fiber to a spectrograph for detection; a computer processes and stores data; and the rapid detection on the VOCs in the expired gas is realized. With the adoption of the method, components of the expired gas can be monitored in real time and on line.
