DIFFUSED EXHALATION WATER MANAGEMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18544607 titled 'DIFFUSED EXHALATION WATER MANAGEMENT
The abstract describes an exhaust arrangement for removing gases from a patient circuit used in delivering breathing gas to a patient's airway.
- The exhaust arrangement includes a body with exhaust ports for gas passage.
- A raised portion extends from the body into the patient circuit passage.
- The raised portion is positioned to be adjacent to the inner surface of the patient circuit.
Potential Applications: - Medical devices for respiratory therapy - Anesthesia delivery systems - Ventilators and breathing machines
Problems Solved: - Efficient removal of exhaust gases from patient circuits - Preventing buildup of gases in the circuit - Improving overall patient comfort and safety
Benefits: - Enhanced gas exchange efficiency - Reduced risk of rebreathing of exhaled gases - Improved patient outcomes and comfort
Commercial Applications: "Exhaust Arrangement for Patient Circuits: Innovations in Respiratory Care"
Frequently Updated Research: - Ongoing studies on the impact of exhaust arrangements on patient outcomes and gas exchange efficiency
Questions about Exhaust Arrangement for Patient Circuits: 1. How does the raised portion of the exhaust arrangement improve gas removal efficiency? 2. What are the potential implications of this technology on respiratory therapy practices?
Original Abstract Submitted
An exhaust arrangement for exhausting gases from a passage defined within a portion of a patient circuit used in providing a flow of a breathing gas to an airway of a patient, the exhaust arrangement comprising: a body defining a number of exhaust ports passing therethrough, each exhaust port having an inlet and an outlet and sized and configured to provide for the passage of gasses therethrough; and a raised portion positioned about the number of exhaust ports and extending from the body, wherein the raised portion is sized and configured to extend into the passage of the portion of the patient circuit from an inner surface of the portion of the patient circuit immediately adjacent the exhaust arrangement.
