In-airway molecular flow sensing: A new technology for continuous, noninvasive monitoring of oxygen consumption in critical care

There are no satisfactory methods for monitoring oxygen consumption in critical care. To address this, we adapted laser absorption spectroscopy to provide measurements of O2, CO2, and water vapor within the airway every 10 ms. The analyzer is integrated within a novel respiratory flow meter that is...
