摘要:
A respiratory assistance apparatus (10) comprising: a gases inlet or inlets (20); a supplemental gas connection inlet (24); a blower unit configured to generate a pressurised gases stream; a humidification unit (17); a gases outlet (12) for the heated and humidified gases stream; a flow path for the gases stream through the respiratory assistance apparatus from the gases inlet(s) through the blower unit and humidification unit to the gases outlet; a sensor assembly (60) comprising an ultrasound gas composition sensor system for sensing the oxygen concentration within the gases stream; a controller operatively connected to the sensor assembly and which generates a representative oxygen concentration signal indicative of the oxygen fraction of the binary gas mixture; a valve operable to alter or modify the flow rate of the supply of supplemental oxygen; and wherein the controller is configured to adjust the valve based on the oxygen concentration signal.
