The specific embodiment
The invention provides a kind of device that is used for producing at the gas that flows to patient pressure oscillation or vibration, wherein patient is connected with a positive pressure ventilation device.But the expiration conduit is immersed average pressure generation change or the fluctuation that the bubble that produces in one jar of water can make the gas that flows to patient.In this process, thereby the present invention also provides a kind of straightforward procedure that changes the average pressure of the gas that flows to patient by the water-immersed degree of depth in the end that changes the expiration conduit.For the average pressure that makes the gas of being defeated by patient keeps constant, just must make the immersion depth of expiration end of conduit keep constant, a kind of equipment that guarantees to produce this situation is disclosed herein equally.
Referring now to Fig. 1,, the figure shows a kind of typical application example.End expiratory positive pressure (PEEP) system that has represented a humidification among the figure, wherein patient 119 is sucking the gas of process humidification and pressurization by a nasal cavity face shield that is connected with intake guide 121 128.Yet we should be understood that the present invention is not limited in conveying PEEP gas, and are equally applicable to the gas delivery system of other type, while and the nonessential humidification that comprises.Intake guide 121 is connected with the outlet 112 of humidifying container 110, and a certain amount of water 115 is housed in the humidifying container 110.In the intake guide 121 heater or resistive heater 120 can be installed, be used for the tube wall of conduit is heated, thereby guarantee that humidity keeps constant along the distribution of conduit, and therefore alleviate humidified gases condensing in conduit.When the water in the humidifying container 110 115 is heated, steam will be full of the above space of the water surface in this container, and flow out through the outlet 112 of humidifying container 110 with air-flow (for example air flow), air-flow wherein comes from gas supply device or the diffuser 118 that inserts container 110 by import 116.
Gas behind the humidification intake guide 121 of flowing through, and flow in the face shield 128 that is connected around patient's 119 oral areas.The unnecessary then gas expiration conduit 130 of flowing through enters a pressure regulator 134.
Pressure regulator
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the form taked of pressure regulator 134 is that the air-flow that will breathe out is released in the container 204 that one jar of water 138 is housed.The gas of expiration conduit 130 of flowing through is fed from a tubulature 136 in the water 138, and tubulature 136 extends into container 204 from expiration conduit 130.Will produce the bubbling phenomenon in the water like this, thereby gas will finally pass through the port of export 152 flow containers 204, the port of export 152 can be used as the initial fill hole of container 204 simultaneously.The port of export 152 comprises a covering, is used to prevent that the gas borne particulate of the liquid state that produces because of intensive bubbling phenomenon on the water surface is discharged from.We should know that tubulature 136 can be processed in the end of expiration conduit 130 by integral body equally.
Referring to Fig. 2 to Fig. 7, wherein pressure regulator 134 and attachment component have been carried out more detailed expression.Expiration conduit (shown among Fig. 1 130) matches with the end of tubulature 136, and tubulature 136 is connected on the lid 144 of water container by connector 146 successively.Connector 146 comprises several elastic bumps or elasticity toggle 148, and this elastic bumps 148 is locked in the annular groove 150 on the tubulature 136, thereby in use tubulature 136 is remained on the preferred position for locking.Be injected into a certain amount of water 138 in the container 204, until reaching a predetermined water level 140.We should know, can use any suitable liquid to replace water herein.
We should understand, if the average pressure of supply gas is regulated, just must change the immersion depth of tubulature 136 in water 138.For most applications, the pressure that flows to patient's gas is that unit changes step by step and is considered to proper with 0.5 centimeter water column, and changing step by step of this pressure can obtain by annular recess 150 is distributed according to 0.5 centimetre spacing.The end of the tubulature 136 that is connected with expiration conduit 130 is provided with a curve retained part 147, and this is for the ease of regulating.In one embodiment, the range of accommodation of this pressure is the 4-8 centimeter water column, but we should be understood that this range of accommodation can be adjusted according to different requirements.Fig. 7 has represented pressure regulator according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, and this pressure regulator is in maximum pressure state is set among the figure.These pressure set points can represent that tubulature 136 parts that wherein are in connector 146 tops can be in sight with the demarcation numeral that is marked on each groove 150 top on the tubulature 136.
Constant water level
In a preferred embodiment, the PEEP respiratory organ of a present invention and a humidification is collaborative uses.Like this, breath will have very high humidity, and some of them moisture will condense in the water 138 in the pressure regulator 134 inevitably.Therefore, through the regular hour, the water yields in the water container 204 will increase, and if do not take measures it is suppressed, will cause being defeated by the pressure rising of patient's gas so, and produce bad side effect.For guaranteed water level keeps constant, be provided with an overflow device 218 in the water container 204, shown in Fig. 2 to 7.
Because the top of water body can produce intensive bubbling phenomenon, so if only adopt a simple lid, will make too much water flow out this lid and lose, therefore this method is not suitable for being used, and therefore just need filter or cushion by certain form.For near the bubbling phenomenon that produces the top that alleviates container 200, the primary outlet 202 residing positions of container 204 are lower than the position of common generation bubbling phenomenon substantially.Yet the bubbling phenomenon also can produce pressure wave in liquid.These pressure waves can pass primary outlet 202 usually and be reflected in the overflow chamber 206, thereby cause more water unexpected lost.For the influence of the ripple that eases off the pressure, the place, centre position between the top of water 210 water level and primary outlet 202 is provided with a wave blocking plate 208.This has just blocked the most of pressure waves that produce because of surperficial bubbling for primary outlet 202.
This just means effectively that the water level in the overflow chamber 206 can keep tranquil relatively, and in fact this water level has represented average (for the instantaneous) water level in the primary tank 204.Water level in the intermediary overflow chamber 206 is subjected to the control of an overflow portion 212 again successively, and this overflow portion 212 is positioned on the adjacent platforms 214 of a rising.Overflow portion 212 is centered on by a cylindrical dividing plate 216 that raises slightly, and this is the influence that produces for any small residual wave in the overflow chamber 206 in the middle of overcoming.
Water flows in dismountable overflow vessel 218 then, can in use be removed and be cleared after container 218 is filled with.Primary tank 204 and middle overflow chamber 206 all use a kind of transparent plastic to process through injection-molded integral body.Independently overflow vessel 218 also all uses a kind of transparent plastic to process through injection-molded with independently tubulature 136 is the same.
Other embodiment
We will be further appreciated that the equipment of the mean water that is used for changing primary tank can take various ways.Although adopted a slidably tubulature in a preferred embodiment, can adopt other form equally, for example collapsible baffle plate or rotating conduit.In addition, we will understand that also overflow device also can be taked other form.For example in another one embodiment as shown in Figure 8, water flows in second container 160 by a long and narrow seam, and before the baffle plate 164 in second container 160 can and flow into overflow vessel 168 in current direction overflow openings 166, eliminate any fluctuation in the current.
Advantage
-allow to regulate easily mean water.
-allow the patient of general breathing is adopted the high-frequency pressure vibration.
-low safeguard and non-maintaining situation under the constant average pressure of maintenance.
-to compare with oxygen supply of the prior art, low price can use up namely and lose.
