A jet ventilator (816) comprises a main body (817) with a passage (818) having an patent port (823), an expiratory port (819) and an entrainment port (848). The passage (818) is closed off by a cap (858) having a jet inlet (864). A diaphragm (861) extends across the passage (818). A body (826) having a venturi-like passageway (833) is slidably mounted in the passage (818). A nozzle (851) provides communication between the inlet (864) and the venturi-like passageway (833) and is connected to the venturi body such that when gas is supplied to the inlet, the venturi body (826) is caused by the pressure on the diaphragm (861) to move to a position against seat (838) against the action of a spring (841). <IMAGE>

Description

SPECIFICATION Combination Venturi Jet and Exhalation Valve Assembly This invention relates to a combination venturi jet and exhalation valve assembly for use in a ventilator.
Heretofore shrouded venturi assemblies and exhalation valve assemblies have been provided in ventilators. However, there is a need for improved shrouded venturi assemblies and exhalation valve assemblies and particularly a need for a combination of the same.
In general it is an object of the present invention to provide an assembly of the above character which makes possible high frequency oscillation with maximum stroke volume.
Another object of the invention is to provide an assembly of the above character which makes possible rapid opening and closing of the expiratory port.
Another object of the invention is to provide an assembly of the above character which has minimal dead space to minimize rebreathing of gases.
Another object of the invention is to provide an assembly of the above character which can be operated from a single power source.
Another object of the invention is to provide an assembly of the above character which upon failure of the power source assumes a fail-safe position.
Another object of the invention is to provide an assembly of the above character which is relatively quiet in operation.
Additional objects and features of the invention will appear from the following description in which a preferred embodiment is set forth by way of example in conjunction with the accompanying drawing.
In the drawing there is disclosed a cross sectional view of a pneumatic combination venturi jet and exhalation valve assembly incorporating the invention which can be utilized with various types of ventilators used for ventilating the lungs of mammals.
The combination venturi jet and exhalation valve assembly 816 as shown in the drawing consists of a generally cylindrical hollow body 817 which has a cylindrical passage 81 8 extending therethrough. An expiratory outlet 819 is mounted in the body 817 and is in communication with the passage 818. An additional outlet 821 is in communication with the passage 818 and is mounted in the body to extend diametrically therefrom and is utilized for sampling the airway pressure within the passage 818. The outlet 821 as shown is threaded into the body 817 and an O-ring 822 is provided to form an air-tight seal with the body. The passage 81 8 terminates in a proximal airway port 823 which is adapted to receive a suitable patient adapter such as a mouthpiece or endotracheal tube to be connected into the patient airway.A generally cylindrical venturi body 826 is provided and is sized in such a manner so that it can be slidably mounted within the passage 818 of the body 817. The body 817 is mounted within a cylindrical venturi bushing 827 in such a manner so that the bushing 827 moves with the venturi body 826. The venturi body 826 is provided with an annular flange 828 at its forward extremity which engages the forward extremity of the bushing 827. It is also provided with a centrally disposed annular flange 829 which also frictionally engages the bushing 827. At its rearmost extremity, the body 826 is provided with another annular flange 831 which engages a lip 832 that is L-shaped in cross section provided on the rear extremity of the bushing 827.The venturi body 826 is provided with a venturi-like passageway 833 which extends axially of the venturi body and opens through both ends of the venturi body 826. The forward extremity of the venturi body is provided with a chamber 834 in which a main inner groove 836 is provided and in which there is seated an O-ring 837. The O-ring 837 serves as a valve member and is adapted to engage a conical valve seat 838 which is formed in the body 817 immediately ahead of the expiratory outlet 819.
Means is provided for yieldably urging the venturi body 826 with its associated bushing 827 to a position so that the O-ring valve member 837 is moved out of engagement with the valve seat 838 and consists of a helical spring 841 which has one end seated against the lip 832 provided on the bushing 827 and has the other end engaging an annular abutment 842 formed in the venturi body 826.
The venturi body 826 is provided with a cylindrical threaded end 844 which has threaded thereon a cylindrical cap 846 which has portions of the same cut away to provide openings 847 which are in communication with an inlet 848 mounted in the body 817 and also in communication with the passage 818. The remaining portions of the cap 846 form L-shaped legs 849 which serve to support a nozzle 851 in a position so that a centrally disposed passage 852 extending therethrough is in axial alignment with the axis of the venturi-like passageway 833 provided in the venturi body 826. A nozzle or jet 851 is provided within the larger cylindrical bore 853 in axial alignment with the passage 852. An annular recess 854 is formed in the bore 853 and carries an O-ring 856. An end cap 858 is threaded into the outermost rear extremity of the body 817.An annular recess 859 is provided in the body 817 and receives the outer annular margin of diaphragm 861 formed of a suitable material such as neoprene. The diaphragm 861 extends across the inner face of the end cap 858 and carries a hollow diaphragm stem 862 having a flow passage 863 therein. The stem is adapted to be inserted into the bore 853 of the nozzle 851 and is adapted to establish a sealing engagement with the O-ring 856 so that an airtight seal is formed between the stem 862 and the nozzle 851. Passage 863 is in alignment and in communication with a flow passage 864 provided in the end cap 858. The end cap is provided with an inlet fitting 866 which is adapted to receive source gas under pressure in a suitable form such as periodic pulses of gas from a ventilator.
Operation of the combination venturi jet and exhalation valve assembly 816 in ventilators of the type hereinbefore described may now be briefly described as follows. Let it be assumed that the appropriate connections have been made to the exhalation valve assembly 816 from the ventilator. Thus source gas such as air, oxygen or a mixture of air and oxygen would be connected to the fitting 866 provided on the end cap 858.
The fitting 821 can be used to provide the patient airway pressure. Now let it be assumed that source gas as, for example, pulses of gases or pulsatile gases are being supplied to the inlet fitting 866. These pulsatile gases are supplied through the passage 864, through the passage 863, through the nozzle 851, through the bore 846 into the venturi-like passage 833 and thence into the patient airway. As the pressure introduced through the passage 864 overwhelms the orifice 852 provided in the nozzle 851, pressure is built up behind the diaphragm 861 to move the diaphragm with the hollow diaphragm stem 862 forwardly carrying with it the venturi body 826 with its associated bushing 827 forwardly in the body 817 until the O-ring valve member 837 engages the valve seat 838 provided in the body to close off the expiratory port or outlet 819.In this manner, the expiratory port is closed off by the application of air under pressure to the exhalation valve assembly. The advantage of the arrangement shown in the drawing is that as soon as gas is no longer supplied to the assembly 816, the spring 841 returns the sliding venturi body 826 to its rearmost position determined by the rearmost position of the valve stem carried by the diaphragm 861.
It has been found that the combination venturi jet and exhalation valve assembly 816 has numerous advantages over the combination of the shrouded venturi assembly and the exhalation valve assemblies provided in ventilators heretofore. These advantages include rapid opening and closing of the expiratory port 819 which is accomplished in view of the fact that the sliding venturi body reacts very rapidly to the changes in gas pressure behind the diaphragm 861. Thus immediately upon receipt of gas in the nozzle 851, the diaphragm is actuated to move the sliding venturi body forward to close the expiratory port 819. Conversely, as soon as gas is no longer being introduced through the nozzle 851, the spring 841 rapidly returns the sliding venturi body to its original position. This makes possible a much higherfrequency of oscillation with maximum stroke volume. Because there is low inertia in the parts forming the assembly it has been found that frequencies as high as 30 Hertz can be accomplished without getting out of phase.
