PATIENT INTERFACE ASSEMBLY WITH CONDUITS ON EACH SIDE OF THE HEAD

摘要

A patient interface assembly that includes a first conduit, a second conduit, and a patient interface coupled to the first conduit and the second conduit. The first and second conduits each include a first end that is disposed proximate to a top of a head of a user, and a second end that is disposed proximate to an airway of such a user when the patient interface assembly is being worn by the user. The first and second conduits also each include a central portion that extends along the sides of a face between the user's eye and an ear a head strap is coupled between the first and second conduit, and a patient interface is coupled to the second ends of the first and second conduits.

主权项

1. A patient interface assembly adapted to be coupled to a patient circuit, the patient interface assembly comprising:
a first conduit having a first end, a central portion, and a second end, wherein the first conduit is configured and arranged such that (a) the first end of the first conduit is disposed proximate to a top of a head of a user responsive to the patient interface assembly being donned by such a user, (b) the second end of the first conduit is disposed proximate to an airway of such a user responsive to the patient interface assembly being donned by such a user, and (c) the central portion of the first conduit extends along a first side of a face of such a user and is disposed between an eye and an ear of such of such a user on the first side of the face responsive to the patient interface assembly being donned by such a user; a second conduit having a first end, a central portion, and a second end wherein the second conduit is configured and arranged such that (a) the first end of the second conduit is disposed proximate to a top of a head of a user responsive to the patient interface assembly being donned by such a user, (b) the second end of the second conduit is disposed proximate to an airway of such a user responsive to the patient interface assembly being donned by such a user, and (c) the central portion of the second conduit extends along a second side of a face of such a user opposite the first side and is disposed between an eye and an ear of such of such a user on the second side of the face responsive to the patient interface assembly being donned by such a user; a head strap operatively coupled to the first conduit and the second conduit and extending around a head of such a user responsive to the patient interface assembly being donned by such a user; and a patient interface operatively coupled to the second end of the first conduit and the second end of the second conduit, and wherein the first end of the first conduit and the first end of the second conduit are operatively coupled to the patient circuit.
