Oral End Tidal Carbon Dioxide Probe For Diagnosing Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
US Patent:
2012030, Nov 29, 2012
Filed:
Apr 16, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/448095
Inventors:
Anna R. Hemnes - Nashville TN, US
Alexander Newman - Nashville TN, US
John Newman - Nashville TN, US
Alexander Newman - Nashville TN, US
John Newman - Nashville TN, US
International Classification:
A61B 5/097
US Classification:
600532
Abstract:
This disclosure concerns improved capabilities for evaluating pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). A system and method of evaluating PAH in a subject may include measuring end tidal partial pressure of exhaled carbon dioxide in the subject, wherein the measurement is made orally using described systems or devices. Integrated sensors enable the measurement and characterization of other respiratory gas components, some of which may be indicative of disease. The system and method can be used to monitor a course of treatment for PAH.

Oral End Tidal Carbon Dioxide Probe
US Patent:
2010009, Apr 22, 2010
Filed:
Oct 14, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/578841
Inventors:
Anna R. Hemnes - Nashville TN, US

John Newman - Nashville TN, US
International Classification:
A61B 5/08
US Classification:
600532
Abstract:
In embodiments of the present invention improved capabilities are described for evaluating pulmonary embolism. A system and method of evaluating pulmonary embolism in a subject may include measuring end tidal partial pressure of exhaled carbon dioxide in the subject, wherein the measurement is made orally, obtaining a clinical approximation of dead space ventilation based on the measurement, and excluding pulmonary embolism when the end tidal partial pressure of exhaled carbon dioxide reaches a threshold.
