Gas mixture and device for delivering the gas mixture to the lungs of a living being.

摘要

In conjunction with the diagnosis of conditions in and treatment of the lungs, a small amount of NO is supplied to the lungs in some cases. A gas mixture is used according to the invention, in which an inert, non-toxic trace gas is present in an exact concentration in relation to NO, in order to simply and safely control the amount of NO then supplied to the lungs. The amount of NO supplied can be determined here by determining the concentration of trace gas.
