Abstract

The air outlet is distanced from the head and neck regions and consists of a flexible outlet hose with additional air holes along the hose. The hose is fitted to the breathing mask by a fixer and once fitted the air outlet hose is guided along the compressed air hose by fixtures. The hose is made of flexible plastics and the additional air holes can be of optional diameter and arrangement so as to increase the effective diameter of the air hose.

Description

Die Luftaustrittsöffnungen aller zur Zeit im Bereich der Behandlung von Schlafapnoe eingesetzten Masken von Druckbeatmungsgeräten sind in unmittelbarer Nähe zur Nase angebracht. Dadurch entstehen spürbare Luftströmungen und lästige Blasgeräusche in Kopfnähe, die die Benutzer stören. Die Schlafqualität wird hierdurch beeinträchtigt.The air vents all currently in the area of sleep apnea treatment Masks used in pressure ventilators are in close proximity to the nose appropriate. This creates noticeable air currents and annoying blowing noises Close to the head, which bothers the user. This affects the quality of sleep.

Durch die Anbringung eines Schlauches an die Atemmaske zum Zwecke der Ableitung der Atem- und Überdruckluft werden die Luftströmungen und Blasgeräusche aus dem Ge­ sichts- und Halsbereich des Benutzers abgeleitet. Die störenden Eigenschaften der Geräuschbelästigung und der spürbaren Luftbewegung reduzieren sich.By attaching a hose to the breathing mask for the purpose of deriving the Breathing and overpressure air are the air currents and blowing noises from the Ge visual and neck area derived from the user. The disruptive properties of Noise pollution and noticeable air movement are reduced.

Die Beschaffenheit des Schlauches (Luftaustrittsschlauch), sein Durchmesser, seine Länge und seine Flexibilität können individuell gewählt werden. Es empfiehlt sich ein flexibler Kunststoffschlauch. Um die Luftausströmung über den Durchmesser des Schlauches hinaus zu vergrößern, können zusätzlich entlang des Schlauches beliebig Luftaustrittslöcher in individueller Anordnung und Größe angebracht werden. Die Anbringung des Luftaustrittsschlauches erfolgt mit einem Anschlußstück an die Maske.The nature of the hose (air outlet hose), its diameter, its length and its flexibility can be chosen individually. A flexible one is recommended Plastic hose. To the air flow beyond the diameter of the hose enlarge, can also have any air outlet holes along the hose individual arrangement and size. The attachment of the Air outlet hose is made with a connector to the mask.

Der Gebrauch der Druckbeatmungsgeräte bleibt durch die Anbringung des beschriebenen Schlauches erhalten.The use of the ventilators remains by attaching the described Received hose.
