Abstract: A dispensing element of an anesthetic vaporizer is provided that can be manufactured in a simple manner and makes it possible to dispense anesthetic over a broad setting range. The dispensing element (11) includes two, longitudinally extending dispensing channels (14, 15), which are connected to one another in terms of flow by means of a connection channel (16). The gas flows from one of the dispensing channels (14) into the other dispensing channel (15) via the connection channel (16).

Abstract: A pneumatic connection for connecting two modules (6) with one another into a simple and reliable pneumatic connection of modules (6) of the respirator or anesthesia apparatus (5). A small installation space needed is provided in a respirator or anesthesia apparatus (5), including at least two modules (6), e.g., a blower, a breathing system, a mixer and/or an anesthetic evaporator (11, 12, 13, 14). The at least one pneumatic connection includes a connection tube (1), which is surrounded with a first end (9) by a first module (7) and with a second end (10) by a second module (8), so that there is a pneumatic connection through the connection tube (1) between the first module (7) and second module (8). The reliable pneumatic connection is also established when the modules (6) have an offset in their alignment in relation to one another.

Abstract: A device for mixing anesthetic vapor with anesthetic gas has a pressure limitation feature achieved in a simple manner. The device has a valve device (11), with which the evaporator is switched on and off. The valve device (11) is equipped with an overpressure release device (22).
