AI Technical Summary
Conventional ventilators require patients to be disconnected from mechanical ventilation to receive cough assistance, which can lead to hypoxemia and inefficient secretion clearance, and often lack integrated functionality for delivering additional respiratory support.
A ventilator system that integrates a cough-assist valve and oxygen delivery mechanism, allowing for simultaneous delivery of oxygen and breathing gases during the inspiratory phase, with controlled flow to minimize disconnection and enhance patient support.
Enables continuous respiratory support with integrated cough assistance, reducing the risk of hypoxemia and improving secretion clearance without disconnecting the patient from the ventilator.
