Oxygen concentration devices currently on the market have many shortcomings. They are bulky and difficult to carry. They alter a patient’s outward image with a visual mark of disability. They do not change oxygen delivery in any way to adjust to the patient’s health. They also lack indicators to help the patient decide when to begin or end a therapy session. Some patient’s decide not to take oxygen therapy as a result of these shortcomings. Those that use these devices may receive over oxygenation or under oxygenation due to the mentioned pitfalls. Any of the shortcomings described can be life threatening to the patient. The present innovation is a proposed system for oxygen delivery that adjusts flowrate based on the patient health and requires no user input to begin or end a therapy session. This paper presents a unique wearable device design for delivering oxygen in a pressure based concentration system.

The mechanical ventilation of human body is a complex human-computer interaction process. High flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy (HFNC) is a new type of ventilation, which is often measured by lung pressure, respiratory work, and other parameters. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the pressure, flow, and strain rate of upper respiratory tract with different flow and oxygen concentration by using finite element simulation, to guide professionals to adjust the appropriate flow and oxygen concentration parameters of HFNC machine. This paper studies the complex human-computer interaction environment of human respiratory tract and ventilation airflow. The 3D model of respiratory tract established by the conversion of image scanning data was taken as the research object. The flow state of the gases in the respiratory tract was judged by Reynolds equation. After that, RNG K-ε model was applied to the research object, and the simulation diagram of airway pressure, flow rate, strain rate, and trace diagram of flowing particles were obtained under the finite element method. The results explain some clinical phenomena in HFNC and guide people to make better use of mathematical tools to study human-computer complex environment.

The theoretical performance of the Hudson Multivent mask is considered. A method is described of determining the flow-weighted mean inspired oxygen concentration produced by the mask. Using this method, it was found that the inspired oxygen concentration was predictable only at the 24% setting using the recommended flow rates, but that increasing the supplied-oxygen flow rates above the recommended levels resulted in the return of predictable function. At settings above 30% predictable function was found to be unlikely, whatever the supplied oxygen flow rate. Recommendations are made regarding the use of this device.
