| 摘要 |
The invention relates to an apparatus (1) for separating a liquid component from the exhalation gas of a patient to be delivered to one or more analyzing units (3, 4), said apparatus comprising a first chamber (10) for delivering therein an exhalation gas coming from a patient and in which the inflown gas divides into two components in a manner that some of the gas flows to an analyzing unit and some of the gas, as well as a liquid component possibly entrapped in the exhalation gas, is conducted out past the analyzing unit, a second chamber (12), through which a patient's exhalation gas flows from the first chamber to an analyzing unit, and a gas-permeable wall (11), which separates these chambers and through which the gas flows from first chamber into second chamber. Upstream of wall(11) there is a filter (20), the exhalation gas of a patient flowing through said filter prior penetrating through said wall (11) and said filter (20) allowing there through the flow of a liquid component possibly entrapped in the gas. <IMAGE> |
