Abstract
A method of modulating oxygen saturation levels can include measuring oxygen saturation levels in a patient, administering inhaled nitric oxide, adjusting the dose of oxygen in real time to a second dose based on the inhaled nitric oxide.
Claims24
A method of modulating oxygen saturation levels, comprising:
- measuring oxygen saturation levels in a patient;
- administering inhaled nitric oxide;
- adjusting the dose of oxygen in real time to a second dose based on the inhaled nitric oxide;
- determining a first oxygen requirement to address an oxygen deficiency;
- determining a reduced oxygen requirement based on the generated nitric oxide;
- and
- delivering a dose of supplemental oxygen based on the reduced oxygen requirement and the gas mixture including nitric oxide from the receptacle to the patient.

A method of modulating oxygen saturation levels, comprising:
- measuring oxygen saturation levels in a patient;
- determining a first dose of oxygen to address an oxygen deficiency;
- mixing a first gas including oxygen and a second gas including a nitric oxide;
- determining a second dose of oxygen based on an amount of nitric oxide to be co-administered with the oxygen, wherein the second dose is lower than the first dose;
- and
- delivering the gas mixture including nitric oxide from the receptacle to the patient.
