A device for hmes (heat - and moisture exchanger) for minimizing of the carbon brushes acid retention and for the flow resistance and control in the case of artificial respiration with special suitability for early - and newborn

摘要

The apparatus consists of a conical container (1) which is integrally formed with a flange (2). A conical connector (3) on the side of the flange opposite to the container is connected to a tracheal tube (9). The conical container (1) is connected to a Y-piece (12) with one branch of the Y-piece being connected to the supply pipe (13) for fresh dry air. The other branch of the U-piece is connected to a pipe (14) for the discharge of air breathed out by the patient. The interior of the conical container is filled with a heat and moisture exchange medium. A radial hole in the flange forms a connection for measuring and monitoring the system by the control device (11). USE/ADVANTAGE - Breathing apparatus for premature babies which minimises carbon-dioxide retention.
