AI Technical Summary
Existing nasal cannulas face challenges in accurately sampling exhaled CO2 from both nasal and oral cavities while delivering oxygen, especially when patients perform everyday activities like speaking, eating, or drinking, as the oral scoop can interfere and dilute the CO2 samples.
A cannula design featuring movable oral and nasal prongs that transition between configurations to allow for accurate CO2 sampling and oxygen delivery, enabling patients to perform daily activities without interference, by using a movable oral scoop that can be positioned proximate the oral cavity for sampling and rotated away to allow for unobstructed activities.
The design allows for continuous and accurate monitoring of exhaled CO2 while enabling patients to engage in everyday activities without interference, ensuring precise oxygen delivery and minimizing sample dilution.
