In collaboration with the Artificial Intelligence Center at Al-Mustaqbal University, the Department of Anesthesia Technology presents a distinguished project entitled:
BreathCycle Humidity Monitor (BCHM)
An innovative device for real-time monitoring of airway humidity during general anesthesia.
This project aims to improve patient safety during general anesthesia by using exhaled air humidity as a precise physiological indicator for assessing airway status. The device contributes to confirming the correct placement of the endotracheal tube, as well as distinguishing between tracheal and esophageal intubation, thereby enhancing clinical accuracy and reducing the likelihood of errors.
Furthermore, the device provides continuous and real-time monitoring of airway conditions during surgical procedures, supporting medical staff in making rapid and accurate decisions. It is characterized by ease of use and the ability to be integrated with modern anesthesia equipment, making it a promising supportive tool in clinical practice.
This project is supervised by Dr. Mohammed Abd Al-Zahra and Assistant Lecturer Ali Qasim from the Department of Anesthesia Technology. The research team is currently working on developing the prototype and conducting further studies to evaluate its effectiveness in practical applications, as the device is still under experimentation and development.
This achievement represents an important step toward employing modern technologies in the medical field, contributing to improved healthcare quality and enhanced patient safety.
