Definitions
- This invention is directed to devices and systems for monitoring respiration. Specifically, the invention is also directed to devices and systems for monitoring reparation using impedance.
- Patient monitoring is essential because it provides warning to patient deterioration and allows for the opportunity of early intervention, greatly improving patient outcomes.
- modern monitoring devices can detect abnormal heart rhythms, blood oxygen saturation, and body temperature, which can alert clinicians of a deterioration that would otherwise go unnoticed.
- the first patient monitors were used on patients during surgery. As patient outcomes were shown to improve, monitoring of vital signs spread to other areas of the hospital such as the intensive care unit and the emergency department. For instance, pulse oximetry was first widely used in operating rooms as a method to continuously measure a patient's oxygenation non-invasively. Pulse oximetry quickly became the standard of care for the administration of general anesthetic and subsequently spread to other parts of the hospital, including the recovery room and intensive care units. The Growing Need for Improved Patient Monitoring
- Physiological scores such as the Mortality Probability Model (MPM), the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Education (APACHE), the Simplified Acute
- Physiological Score SAPS
- TISS Therapeutic Intervention Scoring System
- Respiratory rate is recognized as a vital indicator of patient health and is used to assess patient status.
- respiratory rate alone fails to indicate important physiological changes, such as changes in respiratory volumes.
- Metrics derived from continuous volume measurements have been shown to have great potential for determining patient status in a wide range of clinical applications.
- there are currently no adequate systems that can accurately and conveniently determine respiratory volumes which motivates the need for a non-invasive respiratory monitor that can trace changes in breath volume.
- a patient's respiratory status is monitored with methods such as spirometry and end tidal C0 2 measurements. These methods are often inconvenient to use and inaccurate. While end tidal CO2 monitoring is useful during anesthesia and in the evaluation of intubated patients in a variety of environments, it is inaccurate for non- ventilated patients.
- the spirometer and pneumotachometer are limited in their measurements are highly dependent on patient effort and proper coaching by the clinician. Effective training and quality assurance are a necessity for successful spirometry. However, these two prerequisites are not necessarily enforced in clinical practice like they are in research studies and pulmonary function labs. Therefore, quality assurance is essential to prevent misleading results.
- Spirometry is the most commonly performed pulmonary function test.
- the spirometer and pneumotachometer can give a direct measurement of respiratory volume. It involves assessing a patient's breathing patterns by measuring the volume or the flow of air as it enters and leaves the patient's body. Spirometry procedures and maneuvers are standardized by the American Thoracic Society (ATS) and the European Respiratory Society (ERS). Spirometry can provide important metrics for evaluating respiratory health and diagnosing respiratory pathologies.
- ATS American Thoracic Society
- ERS European Respiratory Society
- Spirometry can provide important metrics for evaluating respiratory health and diagnosing respiratory pathologies.
- the major drawback of mainstream spirometers is that they require the patient to breathe through a tube so that the volume and/or flow rate of his breath can be measured. Breathing through the apparatus introduces resistance to the flow of breath and changes the patient's breathing pattern.
- Impedance-based respiratory monitoring fills an important void because current spirometry measurements are unable to provide continuous measurements because of the requirement for patient cooperation and breathing through a tube. Therefore, there is a need for a device that provides near- real-time information over extended periods of time (vs. spirometry tests which last a minute or less) in non-intubated patients that can show changes in respiration related to a provocative test or therapeutic intervention.
- spirometry contains systematic errors that ruin breathing variability measurements.
- Useful measurements of breath by breath patterns and variability have been shown to be compounded by airway attachments such as a facemask or mouthpiece.
- Other less intrusive techniques such as thermistors or strain gauges have been used to predict changes in volume, but these methods provide poor information on respiratory volume.
- Respiratory belts have also shown promise in measuring respiration volume, but groups have shown that they are less accurate and have a greater variability than measurements from impedance pneumography. Therefore, a system that can measure volume for long periods of time with minimal patient and clinician interaction is needed.
- Preoperative care is centered on identifying what patient characteristics may put the patient at risk during an operation and minimizing those risks. Medical history, smoking history, age, and other parameters dictate the steps taken in preoperative care.
- pulmonary function tests such as spirometry are performed which give the more information to determine whether the patient can utilize the ventilator. Chest x-rays may also be taken. However, these tests cannot be replicated mid- surgery, or in narcotized patients or those who cannot or will not cooperate. Testing may be uncomfortable in a postoperative setting and disruptive to patient recovery.
- End tidal CO2 is another useful metric for determining pulmonary state of a patient.
- the value is presented as a percentage or partial pressure and is measured continuously using a capnograph monitor, which may be coupled with other patient monitoring devices. These instruments produce a capnogram, which represents a waveform of CO2 concentration.
- Capnography compares carbon dioxide concentrations within expired air and arterial blood. The capnogram is then analyzed to diagnose problems with respiration such as hyperventilation and hypoventilation.
- Trends in end tidal CO2 are particularly useful for evaluating ventilator performance and identifying drug activity, technical problems with intubation, and airway obstruction.

- the device could use the HR/RR cutoff, or ratio of inhalation duration to exhalation duration (I/E ratio), or a combination of the two, to indicate level of sedation or diagnosis of respiratory disease.
- the duration of prolonged plateau at end-inspiration indicates opioid induced sedation (see figures 6A-C).

- athletes with high BMI will have an elevated MV PRED when compared to sedentary obese patients with similar BMI.

- the Wright/Haloscale Respirometer uses an in-line turbine to measure flow and calculates volume and flow.
- the Philips Intellivue Monitor uses impedance measurement for measuring respiration rate.
- Accuracy of measurements can be determined by clinical studies that simultaneously measure patient's ventilation with both the instant device and the Wright/Haloscale Respirometer. A stop watch was used to determine actual respiratory rate. The study was a clinical experiment because bioimpedance measurements must be conducted in a living human.
- a clinical study compared simultaneous measurements from the instant device with Basic Monitoring and the Wright/Haloscale Respirometer. (Respiratory rate was calculated using a stop watch.) Twenty subjects representing a broad range of intended patients participated in the study. (Age range: 22-80, BMI range: 18.7-41.8 with 9 female, 11 male). The study involved two sessions for each subject, an initial session in which electrodes were applied and each subject performed twenty breathing tests. Tidal volume, minute ventilation, and respiratory rate were measured simultaneously by the instant device and the Wright spirometer. Each subject returned twenty-four hours after the first session with the original electrodes still attached. A second set of twenty breathing tests were performed.
- the instant device is substantially equivalent in intended use, safety, and effectiveness to the instant device and to the Wright/Haloscale Respirometer.

- the GUI may be customizable. For example, different data can be displayed in different locations within the GUI, more data may be added to the GUI or removed from the GUI. Furthermore, more or fewer icons may be displayed on the GUI.
- the example patient shown in figure 6A is a patient that has had no opioid effect on their respiration.
- the example patient shown in figure 6B is a patient whose respiration has plateaued due to an opioid.
- the example patient shown in figure 6C is a patient whose respiration has plateaued for a prolonged period of time due to an opioid. Additionally, figure 6C shows the cardiac signal superimposed on the respiration signal.
- Figure 6D depicts an example of a menu within the GUI the menu shown depicts choices for setting alarms due to MV/TV/RR as well as periods of No Breath Detected. These choices can be set by a care giver based on the patient being monitored or set automatically by the device based on the data received.
- the menu has an option for setting a custom RR-HR Cutoff as disclosed herein.
