  • Patent number: 11047846
    Abstract: The invention relates to a sensor arrangement having a barometric pressure sensor and a thermal gas sensor, wherein the thermal gas sensor is arranged on the barometric pressure sensor or beside the barometric pressure sensor such that a gas-permeable measurement structure of the thermal gas sensor is arranged in front of a gas inlet opening of the barometric pressure sensor or in front of a pressure-sensitive surface of the barometric pressure sensor.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10188813
    Abstract: A device and a method for artificial respiration in emergencies are proposed. The device comprises respiratory mask (40) which can be placed onto the nose and mouth section of a person to be provided with artificial respiration, a mouth section mouthpiece (41), through which respiratory air from an aider can be supplied, a flow tube (2) disposed between the respiratory mask (40) and the mouthpiece (41), which flow tube forms a continuous flow channel for the supplied respiratory air from the mouthpiece (41) to the respiratory mask (40), at least one sensor (10) disposed in the flow channel of the flow tube (2), which sensor measures parameters of the gases flowing through the flow channel, a processor disposed on the flow tube (2) and an output device (124). Here, the processor processes the mass or volumetric flow registered by the flow sensor (19) to form an output signal. The output device (124) emits the output signal.

  • Publication number: 20150327807
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for and method of monitoring compressions in a cardiac massage on a person in a medical emergency situation. The device is equipped with a flow tube (2, 202), which exhibits a continuous flow channel for air, with at least one flow sensor (10) for determining mass or volumetric flow arranged in the flow channel of the flow tube (2, 202), and/or with a vital signs sensor arranged on the flow tube, by means of which a proportion of oxygen and carbon dioxide can be determined, with a processor that produces a characteristic output signal for penetration depth from the mass or volumetric flow determined and/or from the proportion of oxygen or carbon dioxide detected, and with an output device (124, 224) that issues the output signal.

  • Publication number: 20030173813
    Abstract: The invention relates to a birthing chair comprising a pedestal (10) and a seat part (16) located on the pedestal, said seat part consisting of a seat base (22), a backrest (24) and foot supports (28) that are positioned at the sides of the seat base (22) and project forwards in relation to the latter. Said chair has a substantially horizontal delivery platform (32), which is attached to the birthing chair in such a way that it can be displaced between the first position, in which it lies almost completely beneath the seat base (22), and a second position, in which it lies between the foot supports (28) in front of the seat base (22), when viewed from a vertical perspective.
