Description

The invention relates to the field of sports, namely, simulators for breathing training, and is intended for the natural maintenance in the body of a vasodilator substance - carbon dioxide.

The prior art breathing simulator (TDI-01) - SU No. 1790417, specifications TU-9444-001-11598199-95, including a breathing tube with a mouthpiece 1, a cover for a bath 2, a cover for a glass 3, a glass 4, an inner chamber 5, the bottom mesh nozzle 6, 9, FIG. 1.

The disadvantage of the breathing simulator TDI-01 is the difficulty in use. When using this device, a number of manipulations are proposed, including those associated with volitional breath holding.

A known simulator (TFI) - TU 9619-001-42529619-2001, which consists of a breathing tube 1, a mouthpiece 2, a cover for a glass jar 3, a cover for a glass 4, a glass 5 (figure 3).

A disadvantage of the known TFI simulator is the inability to create excess pressure and the difficulty in use.

Closest to the proposed invention in terms of essential features is a device for breathing exercises (SN No. 687296, AV 23.18, 1996).

A disadvantage of the known device is the difficulty in operation.

The objective of the claimed invention is the creation of an easy-to-use simulator that provides the required gas mixture and allows training by creating a gas mixture in the exit phase. The increased pressure at the outlet creates conditions at the border of the air mixture with the surface of the alveoli of the lungs, when due to overpressure and an increased concentration of carbon dioxide in the volume of the inhaled mixture, an increase in its content in the patient's body is achieved.

The technical result, which consists in eliminating these shortcomings in an individual breathing simulator, including a breathing tube, a container for inhaled and exhaled air mixture, is achieved due to the fact that in the middle part of the container, which is plastic, a connector for installation on the inside is made along its incomplete perimeter shut-off valve, in the upper part of the tank a hole is made with a diameter not exceeding 15 mm, over which a shut-off valve equipped with a safety valve side, and holes 1.0-1.5 mm, while the simulator has a fastening tape to seal the container after installing the shut-off valve, and the breathing tube has holes at the bottom evenly spaced around the perimeter with a diameter of 1 to 3 mm, the total area of which is larger or equal to the cross-sectional area of the breathing tube, while the hole in the breathing tube and in the container body are made at different levels, and the sealing of the landing site of the breathing tube is carried out by a belt to seal the landing gap, while the diameter the breathing tube on which the belt is located to seal the landing gap is smaller than the diameter of the neck of the container.

The technical result, which consists in eliminating these drawbacks according to the second option in an individual breathing simulator, including a breathing tube, a container for inhaled and exhaled mixture, is achieved due to the fact that the container is glass, a polyethylene lid for glass jars is installed on its neck, in which it is made a hole with a diameter not exceeding 15 mm, over which a shut-off valve equipped with a safety plug is installed on the inside, and a hole with a diameter of 1.0-2.0 mm for passage of the breathing and exhaling mixture, and the breathing tube has openings evenly spaced from 1 to 3 mm in diameter in the lower part, the total area of which is greater than or equal to the cross-sectional area of the breathing tube, while the holes in the breathing tube and the lid of the container are made at different levels, and sealing the landing site of the breathing tube is carried out by means of a belt to seal the landing gap, while the diameter of the breathing tube on which the belt is located to seal the seat of the breathing tube Is less than the diameter of the holes in the plastic cover.

In order to install a shut-off valve in the housing of a plastic container in the middle along an incomplete perimeter, a process connector is made.

A distinctive feature of the simulator from the known and prototype is also the ability to simultaneously create a breathing mixture with an excess content of carbon dioxide due to a mixture of exhaled atmospheric air and increased pressure when exhaling in the volume of the inhaled and exhaled gas mixture.

The sealing of the breathing tube in the neck of the container for the inhaled and exhaled mixture is carried out by the belt, which is located on the surface of the respiratory tube for a length 20–40 mm less than the height of the container for the inhaled and exhaled mixture.

The work of the proposed device IDUT-1 includes three main stages:

- preparation of the main nodes;

- assembly of the design IDUT-1;

- conducting respiratory training.

The preparation of the proposed simulator in option I consists of the following operations: a plastic container of the required volume is taken, and with the help of a heated needle (wire) with a diameter of 1.0 ÷ 1.5 mm, up to 15 holes are made around the perimeter in the upper part. After that, the container is cut into approximately ½ parts in height. In this case, the cutting is carried out not along the entire perimeter, but by a length that makes it possible to push the halves of the container to install the shut-off valve. Then, in the proposed place for installing the valve with a heated pin (awl, screwdriver, metal pin with a diameter of ~ 10 ÷ 12 mm), a hole is pierced or cut down with a cutting knife.

A shut-off valve is installed above the hole on the inside of the container, which is made as follows: a strip of polyethylene film (13) is cut out 12–20 mm wide larger than the diameter of the large hole for the passage of inhaled air and exhaled air mixture (see view A) . A layer of adhesive tape (14) is applied to the polyethylene strip. Using the same adhesive tape, the valve obtained is glued from the inside over a large hole. At the same time, it is glued so that the hole is in the center of the polyethylene strip.

Note: the shut-off valve can also be made of other materials (rubber, glue, etc.).

After installing the shut-off valve, the halves of the container come together and are secured and sealed with adhesive tape.

The container for the inhaled and exhaled air mixture is ready for use.

A similar operation is performed using option II. Only the installation of the shut-off valve is carried out on the cover. The diameter of the breathing tube is 1 ÷ 2 mm smaller than the diameter of the large hole in the polyethylene cover (option II). Using tape or insulating tape on the breathing tube at a height of 20 ÷ 40 mm, less than the height of the container for inhaled and exhaled air mixture (6), a belt is made to seal the landing gap (7).

Using an awl or a heated pin, holes ⌀ 1.5 ÷ 3 mm are made in the lower part of the breathing tube (10). The holes are distributed evenly around the perimeter of the tube. The number of holes depends on the diameter of the tube. It is important that the total area of the opening is not less than the area of the opening of the breathing tube.

The assembly of an individual respiratory universal simulator (IDUT-1) consists in installing the breathing tube (2) in the neck (3) (option I) or in the lid (option II) of the container for inhaled and exhaled gas, on the belt to seal the landing gap (7) . The choice of breathing exercise method determines the assembly of the structure.

1. If the Frolov technique is adopted, the minimum capacity is 0.3 ÷ 0.5 dm ³ and all exercises are done using only this capacity.

2. If the Samozdav methodology is used, a simulator, a sports simulator (TFI), classes begin with a minimum capacity of 0.5 dm ³ and gradually the size of the tank increases in accordance with the methodology described in TU 9619-001-42529619-2001 0.8 , 1,0 1,5, 2,0, 2,5, 3,0 dm ³ , while a safety plug (12) is installed in the shut-off valve, which provides natural breathing without tension.

3. In a combined method using excess pressure (according to the method of V. Frolov) and atmospheric air with an exhaled gas mixture, the assembly of the structure is similar to the assembly as for the Frolov method. Only the size of the container changes and is selected depending on the training time and the well-being of the trainee, starting from 0.5 l, 0.8 l, 1 l, 1.5 l, 2.0 l, 2.5 l.

The amount of excess pressure of the exhaled gas mixture is selected depending on the health status of the trainee by selecting the number of small holes (9) in the container for inhaled and exhaled air mixture. It is selected individually. When exhaling, the shutoff valve closes the large hole (8) and air is forced through the small holes (9) with force.

The choice of the amount of overpressure is determined individually, according to the sensation of the patient himself, which is set as follows.

The end of the breathing tube is immersed in a container with water 1 to 2 cm deep. Through the other end or through the mouthpiece, the patient exhales smoothly. The resulting sensation of exhalation tension is tolerated when using the proposed simulator IDUT-1.

If the exhalation effort is felt to be insignificant, several holes (10) are sealed with tape. If the feeling of exhalation is difficult, on the contrary, the holes (10) additionally open.

The homogeneity of the mixture in the container for inhaled and exhaled air mixture is achieved by a different level of arrangement of the holes (9) in the container and the holes (10) in the breathing tube.

On the proposed universal breathing simulator (IDUT-1), you can perform exercises in any position (sitting, lying, moving, sitting behind the wheel, etc.).

The experience of using the IMUT-1 simulator showed that exercise can be limited only if the container for the inhaled and exhaled air mixture is above the mouthpiece when breathing. During breathing, condensation forms in the container, arising from droplets of exhaled gas and saliva. With this application, condensation can drain into the mouth.

On the proposed simulator, various breathing exercises are performed with minimal readjustment.

So, if breathing exercises are performed according to the Frolov method, the minimum capacity is selected (3). In this case, a free breath, as they used to breathe. When inhaling, the shutoff valve (4) opens and air freely flows into the container and then into the respiratory organ. At the outlet, the valve closes the large opening (8) and the required excess pressure is created in the container (6). The exhalation process is carried out slowly, only through the mouth, the nose is closed with a cotton swab or clip, or with your hands.

The main requirement: the exhalation should not be fast, the exhalation is smooth, with constant effort to the end, with the abdominal cavity being pulled to the spine. After a complete exhalation, inhalation is performed, and so the inhalation-exhalation cycle is repeated for 20–40 min.

When excessive pressure is created in the lungs, they are physically loaded, which develops respiratory muscles, and the excess pressure that occurs at the air-surface interface of the alveoli prevents carbon dioxide from leaving the body. This operation helps to saturate the blood with carbon dioxide - a natural vasodilator. When training on this method, be guided by the recommendations set forth on the use of the TDI-01 device of the company Dynamics. Passport IMPF 93041 PS.

When performing breathing exercises in natural breathing using a breathing mixture with a high content of carbon dioxide, consisting of exhaled and atmospheric air, a safety plug (12) is inserted into the shut-off valve (4), through which a large hole (8) for the passage of inhaled atmospheric air and exhaled mixture from the tank (6) remains constantly open. This creates the conditions under which breathing, both during inhalation and during exhalation, is free, without delay and without any efforts. The main thing is to try not to breathe very deeply. This experience comes with systematic, 2 times a day for 20 ÷ 40 min training.

Exhalation cannot be quick and sharp. At the same time, try to be relaxed, think about something pleasant in a nap mode.

The implementation of breathing exercises by this method must be started with the use of a container to obtain a respiratory mixture up to 0.5 l, followed by an increase in volume in accordance with the recommendations set forth in the work: Agodzhanyana N.A., Meshustina Yu.N. “Breaking the deadlock. The errors of medicine are corrected by physiology. ” Samara, 2006, Federal State Unitary Enterprise, Samara Printing House Publishing House, 2005, and guidelines described in TU 9619-001-42529619-2001.

The universality of the design of an individual breathing simulator lies in the fact that it allows you to conduct training not only in well-known and widely tested methods, but also in a new way that combines both the method of creating excess pressure in the container during exhalation and the method of creating a respiratory mixture with a high content carbon dioxide. The assembly is assembled as in training with increased overpressure. Depending on the state of the patient’s body after a training cycle (at least 1 month), the capacity (6) is replaced in the following sequence: 0.5 L, 0.8 L, 1.0 L, 1.5 L, 2.0 L, 2.5 liters After each training session, the container and breathing tube are rinsed with water.

In accordance with the recommendations on the use of TFI and Frolov instruments and the author’s experience, the time of the respiratory procedure is 20–40 min, 2 times a day, the duration of training on one type size of the tank is at least 1 month.

The parameters for the duration of one procedure and the time of training depend on the state of the body, subjective feelings and are specified individually by each patient.

Systematic training is important. Take breathing exercises in a good mood, believing that these exercises will certainly improve your health.

The experience of the author and his entourage showed that prior to training, jumps in blood pressure were observed, arrhythmia was such that they did not give a resort card to Kislovodsk. For 10 months of systematic training, 2 times a day (morning and evening for 20 ÷ 40 min on the IMUT-1 simulator), taking into account the recommendations of the Frolov method and the TFI device, I completely turned out to be free of any drugs, my blood pressure stabilized, arrhythmia disappeared, tinnitus and chest pains. The quality of health has moved to a new, previously forgotten level.
