  • SYSTEM FOR SUPPORTING THE PULMONARY GAS EXCHANGE IN PATIENTS
    Publication number: 20250010000
    Abstract: A system for supporting pulmonary gas exchange in patients, including a ventilating system that has a filter in a line system of the ventilating system and is coupled to a dead space minimization system. To be able to use such a system, in particular also when the patients are children, the second of two pump units is fluidically connected in a region between the filter and a patient interface.

  • System for assisting breathing and a patient set therefor
    Patent number: 11612705
    Abstract: A system for supporting pulmonary gas exchange in patients and for coupling to a ventilating system or for use in the case of non-ventilated patients, which has a flexible hose introducible into the trachea of a patient, a pump unit, a reservoir unit and a controller such that via the flexible hose and by means of the pump unit it is possible to regulate aspiration, especially end-expiratory aspiration, and recirculation, especially end-inspiratory recirculation, of the aspirated gas. In order that the system can be operated independently of a ventilating system, the system has a sensor.

  • Device and method for tempering and humidifying gas, especially respiratory air
    Patent number: 9566409
    Abstract: A device and a process for the heating and humidification of gas, especially respiratory gas. Fluid from a fluid reservoir is supplied to a sprinkling type chamber where, for the purpose of humidification, it is moved through the gas. The point is that the fluid is heated by a temperature controlled heater to a preset temperature. In addition to the description of the device, a description of the process underlying the operation of the device is described.
