Improved methods and devices are described for sensing the respiration pattern of a patient and controlling ventilator functions, particularly for use in an open ventilation system. An apparatus for sensing respiration and synchronizing a ventilator to the respiration of a patient is described. The apparatus may include a plurality of thermal breath sensors. At least one of the plurality of thermal breath sensors may be a heated thermal breath sensor.
1. An apparatus for sensing respiration and synchronizing a ventilator to the respiration of a patient, the apparatus comprising: at least three thermal breath sensors;wherein a first thermal breath sensor measures temperature in an airway of the patient, a second thermal breath sensor measures temp
1. An apparatus for sensing respiration and synchronizing a ventilator to the respiration of a patient, the apparatus comprising: at least three thermal breath sensors;wherein a first thermal breath sensor measures temperature in an airway of the patient, a second thermal breath sensor measures temperature at or near the opening of an airway of the patient, and a third thermal breath sensor measures ambient temperature;wherein signals from the first thermal breath sensor and the second thermal breath sensor are initially compared to a signal from the third thermal breath sensor to determine if inspired ambient air should be warmer or cooler than body temperature, and wherein the initial signal comparison defines an inspiratory phase and an expiratory phase associated with the signals from the first thermal breath sensor and the second thermal breath sensor; andwherein the signals from the first thermal breath sensor and the second thermal breath sensor are subsequently compared to each other to compensate for drift and artifacts, and wherein the subsequent signal comparison is used to determine true patterns, phases and timing of the patient's respiration. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the at least three thermal breath sensors have attributes selected from the group consisting of: (1) the first thermal breath sensor and the second thermal breath sensor are joined in a bridge circuit; (2) at least one of the first thermal breath sensor and the second thermal breath sensor are heated to maintain a desired baseline temperature compared to ambient temperature; (3) at least one of the first thermal breath sensor and the second thermal breath sensor are heated using a heat source decoupled from the at least one of the first thermal breath sensor and the second thermal breath sensor; and (4) combinations thereof. 3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the at least three thermal breath sensors have configurations selected from the group consisting of: (1) the first thermal breath sensor and the second thermal breath sensor are in communication with spontaneous airflow and are joined in a bridge circuit, and the third thermal breath sensor is not in communication with spontaneous airflow and is a reference sensor; (2) at least one of the at least three thermal breath sensors is positioned in a conduit that is in communication with spontaneous airflow, wherein the cross-section of the conduit and sensor signal are used to determine a volumetric flow rate; (3) the first thermal breath sensor and the second thermal breath sensor are separated by a barrier to create a directionally biased signal response phase shift between the signals of the first thermal breath sensor and the second thermal breath sensor, wherein the phase shift directionality is used to determine the direction of airflow and the phase of respiration; and (4) combinations thereof. 4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein a DC shift of a signal of at least one of the at least three thermal breath sensors is controlled by (1) continually adjusting a source voltage or (2) auto-zeroing through a software feedback loop. 5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the at least three thermal breath sensors are selected from the group consisting of: thermistors; polymer based thermally responsive materials; thermally responsive materials shaped like a bead, strip or ring; and combinations thereof. 6. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein a signal from one or both of the first thermal breath sensor and the second thermal breath sensor is correlated to flow, and the flow is correlated to depth of breathing, inspiratory effort, inspiratory and expiratory flow, inspiratory and expiratory volume, and patient respiratory status.
