HIGH FLOW NASAL THERAPY SYSTEM AND METHOD

A therapy system has a nasal cannula patient interface configured to deliver gas to a nasal cavity of a patient and a delivery system for delivering oxygen-enriched breathing gas, comprising air and enrichment oxygen, to the patient interface. A sensor is provided allowing arterial partial pressure...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A therapy system has a nasal cannula patient interface configured to deliver gas to a nasal cavity of a patient and a delivery system for delivering oxygen-enriched breathing gas, comprising air and enrichment oxygen, to the patient interface. A sensor is provided allowing arterial partial pressure of CO2, PaCO2 to be measured or estimated thereby to generate capnograph data, A parameter is determined from the capnograph data which is representative of CO2 washout, and the total flow rate, the oxygen flow rate or the air flow rate of the breathing gas delivered by the delivery system are iteratively adjusted while monitoring the determined parameter. A value of total flow rate, oxygen flow rate or air flow rate is used which maximizes CO2 washout or achieves a desired level of CO2 washout.
