  • the gas is supplied to the oscillating line at approximately a constant flow rate.
  • Devices and methods according to the present invention are more efficient than currently available high frequency oscillating ventilators primarily because the present invention substantially reduces the need for bias flow. This reduction in bias flow enables smaller ventilation systems. It is now clear the device and method of the present invention reduces the volume of bias flow required for safe ventilation. By using the present device, it is believed the volume of inspiratory gas delivered to the ventilator can be reduced from 20,000 to 80,000 ml/min to as little as 20 to 800 ml/min.
  • Another advantage of the present invention may be to counter the loss of mean lung volume associated with prolonged oscillatory ventilation, which is believed to be a problem with this form of mechanical ventilation. It is currently believed by some that this problem might be intensified by reductions in inspiratory gas flow.
  • One approach to this problem that may counter a tendency to lose mean lung volume and thus preserve lung expansion involves redirection of some or all of the inspiratory gas flow to a small channel adapted to the endotracheal tube to allow delivery of some or all of the bias flow directly to the trachea. While potentially hazardous at high (conventional) inspiratory gas flow rates, it is believed that this would be safe at the lower inspiratory gas flow rates envisioned for this invention.
