Respiratory assistance device

摘要

A respiratory assistance device comprises a respiratory aid tube whose distal extremity, intended to be introduced into the windpipe of a patient, is provided with an inflatable ballonet and means for bringing the respiratory gas into the lungs of the patient by means of said tube. The device includes pressure sensors in the ballonet and at the distal end of the tube which provide signals to an electronic controller for controlling the feed of respiratory gas to the patient.
