SYSTEMS FOR PROVIDING OXYGEN TO A PATIENT

摘要

System for providing oxygen to a patient, comprising a sensing device (41) having an oxygen sensor (41) for obtaining one or more measurements of a level of oxygen in patient's blood, ari oxygen provider (45) for providing oxygen to the patient, and a control unit (40). The control unit (40) is configured to receive the level of oxygen in blood from the oxygen sensor (41), and to determine a parameter representative of oxygen insufficiency by comparing the level of oxygen in blood with an oxygen level threshold. The control unit (40) is further configured to determine an oxygen need depending at least on the parameter representative of oxygen insufficiency, and to cause the oxygen provider (45) to continuously provide the oxygen need to the patient until the oxygen need is determined to be substantially null.
