Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain sufficient oxygenation even at the time of working and also to reduce the useless discharge of oxygen while supplying the oxygen in correspondence to the respiration state of a patient by adhibiting the oxygen in a period before the patient starts inhalation, that is, the latter half of a specified exhalation period with little change in respiration pressure. SOLUTION: Oxygen in a gas cylinder 1 is discharged from a pressure adjusting valve 102 by way of a reducing valve 101 and supplied to a nasal cannula 7 through a conduit 5 provided with an orifice-type flow rate setting unit 2 and an automatic opening/closing valve 3. In this case, a respiration phase detecting means 9 which is branched from the conduit 5 and constituted of a diaphragm-type slight pressure fluctuation sensor, is connected, a pressure fluctuation in respiration is converted into the fluctuation of electrostatic capacity, here and it is transmitted to a control means 10. Then, respiration phase data are converted by the control means 10, an average respiration cycle time per one respiration is obtained, a next-time inhalation starting time is calculated and an average inhalation time is calculated. Then, the automatic opening/ closing valve 3 is opened at the point of time within the one-fourth of an exhalation phase before the end of the period.

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, the number of patients suffering from respiratory diseases such as emphysema and chronic bronchitis tends to increase, and oxygen inhalation therapy is one of the most effective treatments. As an oxygen source used in such oxygen therapy, an oxygen cylinder or an oxygen concentrator that directly separates oxygen-enriched air from the air is used, and is becoming increasingly popular as a therapeutic device.

Conventionally, when oxygen obtained from an oxygen cylinder or oxygen-enriched gas obtained from an oxygen concentrator is supplied to a patient with a respiratory disease, the oxygen is usually provided at the end of a tube extended from the cylinder or the concentrator. A method of continuously introducing a patient through a nasal cannula into a nostril of a patient is adopted.

[0004] A further improved supply method is to supply oxygen-enriched gas only at the time of inhalation of air in response to the patient's respiratory cycle, so that wasteful oxygen that is exhausted together with exhalation is discharged. A method of preventing the supply of the concentrated gas and increasing the utilization efficiency has been put to practical use.

As such a device, a so-called demand regulator equipped with an automatic opening / closing valve provided in the middle of the flow path and a respiratory phase detecting means is used. As a result, oxygen consumption can be reduced to about 1/3. Such savings are especially effective when the patient goes out with the oxygen cylinder, and the travel time can be extended three times.

At the start of inspiration, a dead space region not involved in oxygen absorption in the human body from the nasal cavity to the nasopharynx is filled with the immediately preceding exhalation. When oxygen is supplied later, the air having a low oxygen concentration in the dead space region is re-breathed in the early stage of inhalation, and a state occurs in which the administered oxygen does not efficiently contribute to oxygenation. In particular, when the number of breaths or tidal volume increases due to excessive exertion and when the human body needs a large amount of oxygen, even if oxygen is administered during inspiration, sufficient oxygenation such as a decrease in the blood oxygen concentration of the patient occurs. May not be completed.

This conduit means has a gas storage space of 0.1 to 5 vol% of the maximum flow rate (volume) per minute of the respiratory gas generating means on the upstream or downstream side of the automatic flow opening / closing means. Accordingly, the pulse shape of the supplied gas can be made gentle to reduce the user's discomfort. The gas storage space may be provided both upstream and downstream, and in this case, the volume is preferably 0.1 to 5% by volume of the maximum flow rate (volume) per minute. When the reservoir is provided only upstream, the pulse shape can be improved, but it is preferable from the viewpoint that the initial flow rate remains in a slightly high state and short-time supply is achieved. If the storage section is provided only on the downstream side, the pulse shape changes considerably and the initial flow rate is reduced, which is preferable for reducing discomfort. However, the effect is reversed in terms of achieving short-term supply. On the other hand, by providing the reservoirs on both the upstream and downstream sides and adjusting the volume, the pulse shape is also appropriately changed, the initial flow rate is appropriately reduced, the discomfort is reduced, and the supply in a short time is also achieved. A state in which there is no problem in the initial flow rate can be realized.
