Abstract: A face mask (also called full face) for respiratory therapy, in particular for non-invasive mechanical ventilation, has a low value of CO2 rebreathing. The mask includes a shaped shell to cover at least the mouth, the nose and the eyes of a patient when the mask is worn, and includes, on said shaped shell an inlet fitting for the connection to a pipe through which a ventilation apparatus supplies the mask with a mixture of air and oxygen, and an outlet fitting, separate from said inlet fitting, for the discharge of air exhaled by the patient. With this arrangement, the mask allows drastically reducing the phenomenon of carbon dioxide rebreathing, which is very harmful for the patient subjected to ventilation.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for controlling a thermoregulated ventilation circuit (100) equipped with a control unit (40) and comprising an active humidifier (10). The active humidifier (10) further comprises, in turn, a cartridge (20) equipped with a humidification chamber (21) adapted to contain water to be heated for the humidification of the air through a heating element (30), and the thermoregulated circuit (100) further comprising at least one intake tube (120) for conveying the air exiting said cartridge and provided with heating means (123) for heating the air exiting said cartridge (20).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process (P) and an apparatus (400) for the real-time and high-reliability detection of the total concentration amount (Q) of carbon dioxide (2) per unit of time contained in a flow of gas to be monitored (X). The process (P) comprises the phase of mixing the flow of gas to be monitored (X) with a first flow of gas (4) comprising a known concentration and/or amount of carbon dioxide (2), thus obtaining a second flow of gas (5); continuously measuring the concentration/amount of carbon dioxide (2) in said second flow of gas (5) at regular time intervals; continuously measuring the rate of the first and/or second flow of gas (4,5); continuously determining the amount (Q) of carbon dioxide (2) per unit of time of the flow of gas to be monitored (X); optionally continuously visualizing, preferably by means of at least one display (403) or similar visualization device, the amount of carbon dioxide (2) per unit of time of the flow of gas to be monitored (X).
