VENTILATOR APPARATUS

摘要

A ventilator includes a source (1) of breathing gas, such as including a cylinder (11, 11') of compressed oxygen mounted on the front panel (61) of a vest (60) supported on the patient by two shoulder straps (65) and (66). The outlet (10, 10') of the gas source is connected via a CPAP device (2, 2') to a mask (3, 3'). A PEEP device (4, 4') is connected to the outlet (31, 31') of the mask (3, 3'). A non-return valve (5) is connected to ensure that exhaled gas from the mask (3, 3') flows through the PEEP device (4, 4') and bypasses the CPAP device (2, 2').
