Abstract: An attachment for the breathing gas supply during a high-frequency artificial respiration is connected to a ring conduit part in which the ventilation gas circulates. The attachment also comprises a patient connection part and a flow part connecting ring conduit part and patient part together. The parts are connected to each other by snap arms or rings. An injector nozzle and an ejector nozzle are mounted in the respective front walls of ring conduit part and patient connection part, in alignment with the apertures of the flow part which are designed as a collecting nozzle. The parts are sealed with each other by rings.

Abstract: A hose pump comprises a housing in which a drive shaft is mounted. The shaft is provided with an obliquely extending shaft piece on which a swash plate is mounted. The swash plate end face presses against a hose which lies in an annular groove located in the underside of the housing cover. The swash plate does not substantially rotate relative to the housing or to the hose and therefore exerts substantially no shear on the hose.
