Respirator
First Claim
1. A respirator for automatic regulation of flow and pressure of respiration gas during an inspiration and expiration phase by way of a single conduction path between a source of respiration gas and a patient, comprising:
- a. a single conduction path having a first end adapted to be connected to a source of respiration gas and a second end adapted to be connected to a patient and, in serial arrangement, measuring means forming part of said conduction path for determining the flow and pressure of respiration gas at a single measuring location proximate the said second end and converting the same into electrical signals;
single first valve means forming part of said conduction path and coupled to the source of respiration gas and adapted to be adjustable between inspiration and expiration positions and for controllably varying the flow and the pressure of the respiration gas during the inspiration phase and expiration phase; and
single second valve means forming part of said conduction path for separating inspiratory and expiratory flow, said single second valve means being coupled between said single first valve means and said measuring means said second valve means including an outlet, and means between said first and second valve means for providing fluidic connection of the first valve means to the patient during the inspiration phase when said first valve means is in said inspiratory position and for fluidic connection from the patient to said outlet during the expiration phase when said first valve means is in said expiratory position; and
b. electronic regulating means connected with the measuring means and said first valve means for comparing said electrical signals with selected values including standard values of inspiratory and expiratory flows and pressures and for generating a regulating signal indicative of a difference between said selected valves and said electrical signals and thereby controllably adjusting said first valve means for flows and pressures of respiration gas during the inspiratory and expiratory phases.

Abstract
A respirator used to replace or assist the respiratory function and automatically regulate the respiration gas flow and pressure during the inspiration phase and expiration phase comprising means for measuring the flow and pressure of respiration gas and providing electrical output signals, valve means including an adjustable valve for controlling the flow and pressure of respiration gas past the measuring means, and electronic regulating means connected with the measuring means and valve means for comparing the electrical signals with predetermined values including standard values and for generating a regulating signal for adjusting the valve means.

23. A respirator for automatic regulation of the flow and pressure of respiration gas during an inspiration phase and expiration phase and including a connection to a source of respiration gas comprising:
-
measuring means for determining the flow and pressure of respiration gas and converting the same into electrical signals; first valve means adjustable for controlling the flow and pressure of respiration gas past said measuring means during inspiration and expiration; second valve means for separating inspiratory and expiratory flow, and adapted for connection of said first valve means to a patient during the inspiration phase and for connection from the patient to an outlet during the expiration phase, and including a first and second perpendicularly intersecting channels each connected to said first valve means whereby the first channel is also connected to said measuring means and said second channel has an outlet and; circumfluous body means disposed in said second valve means with the first channel in the region of the intersection; and electronic regulation means connected with the measuring means and first valve means, for comparing the electrical signals with standard values and for generating a regulating signal for adjusting said first valve means. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
