An exhalation valve assembly (50) for use in the mechanical ventilation of respiratory patients in which the PEEP valve (20) and the exhalation valve (32) are combined into a single valve mechanism, and which includes a wye (42) in which the patient tube (46) splits at equal angles into the ventilator tube (44) and a tube (70) closed off by the PEEP valve (20), so as to maintain the exhalation drive hose (56) and the ventilator hose (54) generally parallel, and avoid sharp angles in the air flow. |
