Abstract:
Most of the current mainstream respiratory devices for monitoring CO(2) concentration use the two-end structure combined with both reference-end and main testing-end. In this paper, we design a new single-end mainstream device for monitoring the carbon dioxide concentration that is breathed out of the human body. In this single end design, only the main testing-end will be involved. The mechanism is based on the low-cost digital processing method of blind source separation, which is used to separate the signal and then extract the reference signal. Meanwhile, in order to decrease the negative influence of device noise and the low sample precision caused by temperature drift, two steps are taken: one is wavelet denoising and the other is temperature drift compensation. These two steps are proved valid by clinical trials, thus improving the accuracy of devices.

The Role of Diffusion in Respiration
Diffusion is the process by which molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. In the respiratory system, this principle...
Oxygen Delivering System II: Venturi Mask and Transtracheal Oxygen
Venturi Mask
The Venturi mask, named after the Venturi effect, is designed to deliver precise oxygen concentrations. It consists of a large tube with an oxygen inlet that narrows down, causing a pressure drop that pulls air in through adjustable side ports. The mask is a lightweight,...

Nasal Cannula
A nasal cannula is a lightweight tube split at one end into two prongs and placed in the nostrils. It is typically used to deliver low to medium levels of oxygen.
Suggested flow rate: The suggested flow rate for a nasal cannula typically ranges between 1 and 6 L/min.
