A portable respiration apparatus is described. The portable respiration apparatus (2) is dimensioned to convey a flow of gas, with an upper limit on pressure, from an inlet (6() to a patient. The portable respiration apparatus (2) is devised so its inlet (6) can be connected to a stationary gas unit (32) when a higher pressure is desired. The stationary gas unit (32) can generate a gas pressure that is applied to the inlet (6) of the portable respiration apparatus (2), whereby a higher gas pressure can be generated and delivered to the patient. Alternately, the stationary gas unit (32) can be dimensioned so it is capable of itself generating the desired gas pressure to be supplied to the patient, so there is no additional increase in gas pressure in the portable respiration apparatus (2). <IMAGE> |
