Methods of measuring FeNO Fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) measurement plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and management of airway inflammation. FeNO testing is recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) to help diagnose asthma1, with the NObreath® device one of three devices recommended by NICE1. In 2005 the American Thoracic Society (ATS) and the ...
Medical ventilators are significant medical devices, using positive pressure to circulate air through the lungs of patients who cannot breathe effectively on their own. Modern ventilators integrate a variety of sensors that can automatically adapt to changes in lung function or breathing, minimizing required input from medical personnel. Cubic offers a comprehensive range of gas sensing solutions ...
The purpose of an anesthesia machine is to deliver precise amounts of anesthetic gases or medications to patients during surgical procedures to maintain anesthesia. Throughout this process, closely monitoring key respiratory parameters, including EtCO2 (end-tidal carbon dioxide concentration) and oxygen levels, could ensure the patient's respiratory function remains normal and safe. Given that ...

When automated dark adaptometry was first commercialized, many of us had more questions than answers with regard to using this information for detecting AMD and monitoring disease progression. But with more than seven years of practical in-office experience performing dark adaptation testing on thousands of patients, the tables have turned. This technology offers a safety net for ...
Nafion is a polymer that can add/remove select materials, including water vapor, to a gas stream through a first order kinetic reaction (a chemical reaction). Because it’s non-porous, other molecules cannot pass through it. This unique property makes it ideal for medical applications such as removing water vapor from breath samples or adding humidity to gas samples for therapeutic ...
Breath has lots of moisture. To see, just blow on a mirror and watch it fog up. Getting rid of the moisture on the mirror is easy: just wipe it off. Getting rid of moisture in a breath sample is more complex, but can be done with a bit of engineering and Nafion™ tubing. We have found ways to remove up to 90% of moisture from a patient’s breath sample. Moisture: Why You Need it Gone? ...
Moisture matters. Just ask any runner who’s slogged through a steamy afternoon. The same can be said for medical professionals trying to analyze a person’s breath. Here’s what happens. Humidity Can Impact Accuracy and Damage Equipment During medical procedures, an anesthesiologist measures the concentration of carbon dioxide in a patient’s breath. They do this ...
Abstract Rationale:Patients with severe coronavirus disease (COVID-19) require supplemental oxygen and ventilatory support. It is unclear whether some respiratory support devices may increase the dispersion of infectious bioaerosols and thereby place healthcare workers at increased risk of infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Objectives:To ...
On Friday, March 27, President Trump enacted the Defense Production Act to order General Motors (“GM”) to assist Ventec Life Systems with the mass production of a ventilator that incorporates multiple lifesaving therapies into one machine (Ventilator, Oxygen, Cough Assist, Suction, Nebulizer). AG Industries provides a critical component for this device – a HEPA filter that ...
February 1, Prague/ Udalosti. The epidemic called “Chronic Heart Failure” affects up to half a million Czechs. An innovation being tested at Prague’s Na Homolce Hospital could be a turning point in the care of these patients. A special implant adjusts the shape of the left ventricle, which may allow the heart to work better and may stop the progression of the ...
