HIGH FREQUENCY CHEST WALL OSCILLATION SYSTEM

摘要

A therapy system (200, 300, 610, 900) is operable to deliver a plurality of respiratory therapies to a patient and has an assessment system (318, 366, 372, 378, 379, 480, 482) operable to assess the efficacy of at least one of the respiratory therapies. The therapy system (200, 300, 610, 900) may be operable to deliver any one or more of the following therapies: a high frequency chest wall oscillation (HFCWO) therapy, a positive expiratory pressure (PEP) therapy, a nebulizer therapy, an intermittent positive pressure breathing (IPPB) therapy, a cough assist therapy, a suction therapy, a bronchial dilator therapy, and the like. The assessment system (318, 366, 372, 378, 379, 480, 482) may comprise any one or more of the following devices: a flow meter, a spirometer, an electronic stethoscope, a tympanic thermometer, a pulse oximeter, a respiration rate monitor, and the like.
