Abstract: An emergency ventilator for artificially ventilating patients in the event of a medical emergency, including: —a housing with an ambient air suction opening and a ventilating gas outlet opening, —a fan which is designed and is arranged in the housing so as to convey ambient air from the ambient air suction opening to the ventilating gas outlet opening, —an air filter which is designed to purify suctioned ambient air and which is arranged in the housing downstream of the ambient air suction opening in the flow path of the ambient air, and —an energy storage device for supplying the fan with energy in order to operate same, wherein the air filter is received in the housing in an accessible manner through a housing opening, which is closed but can be opened by a housing cover, and so as to be replaceable in an intended manner, and the energy storage device is received in the housing in an accessible manner through the housing opening, which is closed but can be opened by the housing cover, and so as to be replac

Abstract: An emergency ventilator for artificially ventilating patients in the event of a medical emergency, having: —a housing with an ambient air suction opening and a ventilating gas outlet opening and—a fan which is designed and is arranged in the housing so as to convey ambient air from the ambient air suction opening to the ventilating gas outlet opening, wherein the fan includes a fan housing with an air conveyor which can be moved relative to the fan housing, and the fan housing is arranged in the housing in a fixed manner thereto; the fan housing is secured to the housing with the interposition of a heat conducting body, the heat conducting body including or being made of a material which is selected from light metal, nonferrous metal, and/or a plastic filled with a heat-conductive filler material.

Abstract: A switching-valve assembly having a housing, first and second source ports, an outlet port, a first gas-supply line connecting the first source port to the outlet port, a second gas-supply line connecting the second source port to the outlet port, a valve arrangement in the housing adjustable between a first operating state, in which it opens the first gas-supply line to allow respiratory gas to flow through and blocks the second gas-supply line, and a second operating state, in which it blocks the first gas-supply line and opens the second gas-supply line to allow respiratory gas to flow through, the switching-valve assembly in the form of a modular switching-valve assembly being stackable, by the housing having a first outer-surface portion for stacking and a second outer-surface portion for stacking, which is designed to as to be complementary to the first outer-surface portion for stacking, wherein a source port is designed as a sequence port such that, when the first and the second outer-surface portions
