RESPIRATORY THERAPY DEVICE FOR KEEPING FREE THE NATURAL RESPIRATORY TRACT OF A HUMAN BODY AND THE USE THEREOF IN ORDER TO PREVENT THE SOUND OF SNORING

摘要

In order to treat snoring and obstructive sleep apnoea, the inner respiratory tract is subjected to atmospheric pressure and the outer surrounding area of the respiratory tract is subjected to an artificial low pressure, the difference between the inner atmospheric pressure and the outer low pressure remaining constant. The respiratory therapy device consists of a pressure-stable hollow body which surrounds the human body while keeping free the natural respiratory opening. Said hollow body forms a low pressure chamber at least in the outer surrounding area of the respiratory tract. The low pressure chamber (7) is connected to a suction pump (3) via a suction tube (2). The inventive method and respiratory therapy device make it possible to breathe in a free atmosphere.
