A portable electronic 'calling device' as an aid to 'weaning' ventilator-dependent tetraplegic patients from
Abstract:
An electronic calling device has been developed. It is easily portable and can be operated by the severely paralysed tetraplegic patient in order to attract attention. The patient can operate the sensor either during artificial ventilation or when breathing spontaneously via the tracheostomy tube at a stage prior to the insertion of a speaking tube.

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,...
Oxygen Delivering System III: Tracheostomy and T-piece
Tracheostomy
A tracheostomy is a surgically created opening (stoma) in the anterior part of the trachea. It is used to establish a patient airway, bypass an upper airway obstruction, simplify the removal of secretions, permit long-term...

Ventilatory Modes
There are three ventilatory modes: full support, partial support, and spontaneous. These are described below.
Full Support Modes
Full support modes include controlled mechanical ventilation, continuous mandatory...
