Apparatus and method for monitoring oxygenation during treatment with nitric oxide delivery

摘要

To provide a device and method for calculating and monitoring oxygenation parameters during treatment with delivery of nitric oxide.SOLUTION: A device 10 for determining respiratory parameters comprises: a central processing unit (CPU) 20 for determining one or more respiratory parameters; respiratory gas delivery means 30, such as a ventilator, for detecting the level of oxygen (FiO2, Mean Airway Pressure, etc.) in the gas flow passing into or out of the respiratory system of an individual; a proximal pressure transducer 100; a pulse oximeter 90 or other oxygen measurement means for detecting the level of oxygen (SaO2, SpO2, PaO2) in the blood circulation of the individual and outputting to the computer according to it, the computer being adapted for calculating, retrieving and storing one or more measurements of oxygenation parameters.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
