ARRANGEMENT AND METHOD FOR SUPPLYING BREATHING GAS FOR RESPIRATION

摘要

An apparatus and method for supplying a breathing gas for a respiration. The apparatus includes a reciprocating unit configured to receive an inspiration gas flow and adapted to control respiratory movements. The apparatus also includes a gas mixer for supplying a fresh gas flow. The apparatus also includes a breathing circuit configured to conduct an expiration gas flow to the reciprocating unit and to conduct the fresh gas flow from the gas mixer for the respiration and to conduct the gas flow from the reciprocating unit for an inspiration, the breathing circuit comprising a CO2 remover configured to remove carbon dioxide from the gas. The apparatus also includes a first bypass passage configured to permit bypassing the reciprocating unit and connecting the breathing circuit to the inspiration gas flow upstream from the reciprocating unit.
