Background and Objectives. Despite its' proven benefits, oxygen therapy may be
complicated with potential adverse events such as hypoxemia or hyperoxia‐driven …

In our daily lives, we rely on automated feedback systems to control many commonly used
devices that require constant adjustments such as our hot water, home heating, and …

BACKGROUND: When treating acute respiratory failure, both hypoxemia and hyperoxemia
should be avoided. SpO2 should be monitored closely and O2 flows adjusted accordingly …

Long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) has become standard care for the treatment of patients
with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and other severe hypoxemic lung …

Recent heightened concern about the costs of medical care has stimulated research and
development in devices and schemes for saving costs while retaining quality of care …

Background: Current disaster planning for pandemic influenza anticipates overwhelming

Objectives To compare FreeO 2 with oxygen manual adjustment, in patient admitted to the
emergency department (ED) for acute respiratory failure (ARF). Methods We conducted a …

BACKGROUND: One century after the introduction of the oxygen flow meter into clinical
practice, we have developed a device, FreeO2, that automatically titrates the oxygen flow …

Oxygen therapy can be life‐saving for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(COPD) and is the backbone of any acute COPD treatment strategy. Although largely …

Introduction: Hypoxemic respiratory failure is a common problem in critical care. Current
management strategies, including mechanical ventilation and extracorporeal membranous …
