Abstract
The invention relates to a portable assembly for emergency ventilation, comprising a source (1) of compressed gas equipped with a gas pressure-reducing valve device (2) with which it is possible to control the flowrate and/or the pressure of the gas issuing from the gas source (1), a respiratory assistance ventilator (3) fed with gas by said gas source (1), and a man/machine interface (4) cooperating with said ventilator (3) so as to permit regulation of at least one ventilation parameter and/or of at least one ventilation set-point. The portable assembly according to the invention constitutes an item of equipment for respiratory aid which can be used in emergency situations, is of small size and low weight, and can be easily carried by a doctor or similar, even in places where access is difficult.
