PROXIMAL FITTING FOR A UNILIMB RESPIRATORY CONDUIT

摘要

A method for providing assisted ventilation which avoids hypoxia and hypocapnia is disclosed, in which a predetermined dead space in an assisted ventilation system is provided external to the patient. The method may also be used to create normocapnia or moderate hypercapnia without causing hypoxia during assisted ventilation. The improved device has an improved proximal terminal and a new coaxial filter device.
