Abstract: A gas flow reversing element is disclosed that includes a main piece comprising an inflow region, a nozzle region and a mixing region, and further includes a branching piece. The inflow region connects a pressure connector to a closable outlet opening in the mixing region, the branching piece connecting the nozzle region to a line connector. With the outlet opening opened, gas flow flowing along a first flow path from the pressure connector through the nozzle to the outlet opening, generates a gas flow in the branching piece flowing along a second flow path from the line connector to the outlet opening. The reversing element further includes a bypass, closable by at least one closing element, connecting the pressure connector and the line connector so that a gas flow can flow along a third flow path via the inflow region, and bypass the nozzle via the bypass.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a plurality of ventilation devices, to ventilation devices having visualization apparatuses, and to methods for operating the ventilation devices. The intent is to minimize the energy input into the at least one airway of a patient as a result of the ventilation.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an arrangement (1) comprising a switchable connection (2) and a gas flow reversing element (3), e.g.

Abstract: Gas flow reversing element (1) for the use of a gas supply (14) under excess pressure, in particular inspiratory gases, for selectively generating a gas flow (8) from or to a line connector (6) which can in particular be connected to an airway of a patient, said gas flow reversing element (1) being designed as a main piece (2), the main piece (2) at least comprising an inflow region (9), a nozzle region (15) and a mixing region (16), and further a branching piece (3), the inflow region (9) connecting a pressure connector (4), for connection to the gas supply (14), to at least one closable outlet opening (5) arranged in the mixing region (16), and the branching piece (3) connecting the nozzle region (15) of the main piece (2) to the line connector (6), wherein a nozzle (7), particularly an injector nozzle, is configured and arranged in the nozzle region (15) in such a way that, a gas flow (8) flowing along a first flow path (20) through the main piece (2) from the pressure connector (4) subsequently through th

Abstract: A gas flow reversing element is provided comprising a main piece defining at least one closable outlet opening, a branching piece extending from the main piece, a line connector connected to the distal end of the branching piece, a pressure connector connected to the main piece, the pressure connector being structured to be fluidly connected to a pressurized gas supply; and a nozzle being configured and arranged in the main piece in such a way that a gas flow flowing in the main piece from the pressure connector through the nozzle to the at least one outlet opening, with the at least one outlet opening being disposed in the second open position, a gas flow can also be generated in the branching piece in a direction toward the at least one outlet opening.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a catheter for ventilating a patient, with a ventilation channel for alternately delivering and removing air and/or oxygen to and from the patient's airways, the catheter having a maximum external diameter of at most 6 mm, mm, and the ventilation channel having an open end, and a connector end for connection to a gas flow reversing element. According to the invention, the catheter is provided with means or elements for measuring the pressure outside the ventilation channel near the open end. The catheter preferably has a pressure measurement channel, with an open measurement end near the open end of the ventilation channel, and a measurement connector piece for connecting a pressure display device. Of particular advantage is a catheter with an expansion body (cuff) that is fluidically connected to a supply channel through which the expansion body can be increased or reduced in size by means of a fluid.

Abstract: Disclosed is a transtracheal ventilation device including at least one base plate with an opening and comprising a tubular connecting part with a channel and a central axis. The base plate and the connecting part are connected to each other such that a lumen, when inserted into the device, extends into the channel through the opening along the central axis to a fixing element (a fastening). The fixing element can be pivoted relative to the central axis. The fixing element is arranged at a distance of at least 5 millimeters along the central axis from a base plate face which faces away from the fixing element, and the opening has an inner diameter which is at least 20% larger than an outer diameter of the lumen at least on a first plane perpendicular to the central axis.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a catheter for ventilating a patient, with a ventilation channel for alternately delivering and removing air and/or oxygen to and from the patient's airways, the catheter having a maximum external diameter of at most 6 mm, preferably 2 to 5 mm, and the ventilation channel having an open end, and a connector end for connection to a gas flow reversing element. According to the invention, the catheter is provided with means or elements for measuring the pressure outside the ventilation channel near the open end. The catheter preferably has a pressure measurement channel, with an open measurement end near the open end of the ventilation channel, and a measurement connector piece for connecting a pressure display device. Of particular advantage is a catheter with an expansion body (cuff) that is fluidically connected to a supply channel through which the expansion body can be increased or reduced in size by means of a fluid.
