Definitions

  • This invention relates to an apparatus for pulmonary ventilation during anesthesia, and more particularly to a device for assisting the patient in his breathing during partial anesthesia and for positively supplying ventilation to the patient when completely narcotized while at the same time supplying to the anesthetist exact information concerning the adequacy of the ventilation of the patient with respect to the three elements referred to below.

  • One object of the invention is to provide a new and improved apparatus for ventilating a patient.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide an apparatus of such a character that it may be automatically operated under control of the needs of the patient.
  • Still another object of the invention is the provision of an apparatus which will supply gas to the patient during the inspiratory period and withdraw gases from the patient during the expiratory period wherein a switching system is provided to switch from one phase of the action to the other, this system being controlled by an adjustable degree of pressure in the mask covering the patients nasal and oral passages.
  • Still another object of the invention is to provide an apparatus of the character just described wherein the switching system will be magnetically actuated.
  • Still another object of the invention is to provide an apparatus of the character described wherein a pump is provided for delivering gas to and removing gas from the lungs of the patient, which pump is actuated by a motor having different pressures for the inspiratory and expiraddl ifihh Patented Dec. 17, 1363 tory phases, thus producing difierent inspiratory and expiratory pressures in the lung.

  • the passage 15 is controlled by a check valve 18, permitting gases to pass only in the direction of the arrow when the patient is inspiring and to close upon expiration, while the passage 14 is controlled by the check valve 19 which allows gases to pass from the patient to the canister 16 upon expiration and to close during inspiration.
  • the anesthetist usually operates the breathing bag 11 manually, and the passage 33 leading from the valve 13 is connected directly to the passages 14 and 15.
  • the breathing bag ll is provided only for emergency use and normally the valve 13 will stand in the position shown in FIG. 1 wherein the bag is cut oft from the apparatus.
  • the passages 14 and 15 are connected by a conduit 314 to a collapsible bag 315 in a sealed chamber 316, and the duct 13 leads into this chamber in the space surrounding the bag.
  • the passage 13 communicates with a passage 24? leading to a casing 21 connected by a conduit 22 to a pump comprising a cylinder 23 and piston 24.
  • the actuation of the piston will serve to force gas through the passages 13 20 and 22 in the direction of the arrow, shown in FIG. 1, and to withdraw gas into the pump chamber in the direction of the arrows, shown in FIG. 2.
  • the bag 315 will be collapsed and inflated and will thus deliver anesthetizing gas to, and withdraw gas from, the mask 10.
  • a conduit 39 Connected to the mask It is a conduit 39 to which may be conne ted a gauge 31 to indicate the pressure at the mask, the conduit 39 being connected to a tambour 32 provided with diaphragms 33 and A union or separ ble joint 33 is provided in the conduit 3t and the bag 325 is carried by a flange or cap 317 secured to the chamber by bolts 313 enclosing an opening 333 in the chamber.
  • the opening 319 is sufiiciently large to permit withdrawal of the bag 315.
  • That part of the system between and including the mask iii and bag 335 and a part of the tube will contain contaminated elements, those parts by the system may be removed for autoclave sterilization by disconnecting the flange 3E7 annd the joint 36a.
  • the tube 3i) is or" such caliber that even at zero oxygen flow through it (as will be hereinafter explained), the positive pressures will never back the gases in the mask into t.e tube 313 for more than a fraction of its length and the natural outward flow of oxygen from the tambour will continually wash the latter and a part of the tube 3%, keeping these elements sterile.

  • the valve member 36 is provided with three spool valves thereon 36, 3S and 36, and a conduit 52 connects the lower portion of the valve casing 37 to a main controlling valve consisting of a casing 53 and a spool valve within said casing comprising valve members 54 54 and 54.
  • a conduit 52 connects the upper portion of the valve casing 37 with the upper end of the valve casing 53.
  • the conduit 55 which connects the conduit it to the valve casing 37 is also connected to the valve casing 53 through the passages 56 and 57. Within these conduits are pressure-reducing valves 5'8 and 59 which may be set at any desired value to regulate the pressure of the gas entering the valve casing 53 from the supply 41.
  • a conduit 6! leads from the lower portion of the casing 53 into the lower portion of the casing 61 of a motor which comprises this casing and a piston d2 connected to the piston 24 previously described by the rod 63.
  • a conduit 6 leads from an upper portion of the casing 53 to the casing 61 above the piston 62 whereby pressure alternately introduced through the passages and 64 will effect upward and downward movement respectively of the piston 62. It may here be noted that the casing 53 is vented to the atmosphere at 65 and 66.
  • the armature 42 is attached to the valve member 36 and comes within the combined influence of the upper magnet 4-3 (to which it has been closer than to the magnet 44, it being assumed that the two magnets are of equivalent strength and the lower magnet 44.
  • the armature 42 When the armature 42 is closer to magnet 43 than to magnet 44, as shown in FIG. 1, it will require a predetermined specific force to move it from this position. This force is provided by the pressure exerted by the patient in passage 3i acting through the diaphragm 33.
  • a slight movement of the armature 42 will immediately reduce the pull of the magnet 43 and increase the pull of the magnet 44, thus resulting in rapid and sure switching, more or less of a snap action.
  • connection will be made between the gas supply line 417 and the upper end of valve hous- 53 through the passage 52.
  • the gas will then flow through passage 56 and out of outlet 64- into the cylinder 61 of the motor above the piston 62 and thus pull down the pump piston 24, withdrawing gases from the patient.
  • the pressure at which the switching from inspiration to expiration takes place can be altered by changing the distance between the magnets 43 and 4-4 by means of the screw 49. If it is desired that the positive switching pressure at the end of the inspiration be greater than the negative switching pressure at the end of expiration, the magnets may be biased, if desired, so that one pulls more than the other by means of the adjusting screw 5% That is to say, the magnets will be moved up or down together so as to place one closer to the armature 42; than the other and may even be biased so far as to produce extremes wherein both will switch upon positive pre sure instead of one positive and the other negative, thus permitting their use in so-called intermittent positive pressure ventilation.
  • the pressure-reducing valve 53 supplies the gas for the expiratory stroke and the valve 59 supplies the gas for the inspiratory stroke of the apparatus.
  • the anesthetist can control the time required for a transfer or" a given volume of gas to the patient on inspiration and from the patient on expiration. He can thus regulate the number of respirations per minute.
  • a conduit 70 (it may, if desired, be attached to the expiratory outlet 64) which leads through a passage 71 to a cylinder 72 having a piston '72 movable therein.
  • This piston rod 74 is pivoted to one end of a lever 76, which oscillates about a pivot point "77 and to which is pivoted a pawl 75.
  • the lever '76 is biased in a counterclockwise direction by a spring 73 while the pawl 75 is urged into engagement with a ratchet wheel 7 by a spring 89. Movement of the ratchet wheel in a clockwise direction by upward movement of the piston rod 74 trips a lever 81 pivoted at 32, which lever contacts the crown 83 of a stop watch 8 5.
  • the stop Watch has a special dial which is calibrated not in seconds but in the number of respirations per minute corresponding to the interval between the starting and stopping of the watch and is of the type in which one pressure on the crown hand stops the hand, allowing the reading to be taken, and the second pressure on the crown performs the functions of both returning the pointer to Zero and instantly starting the watch again.
  • the rate of respiration is the result of the relation between the acting pressures delivered by the reducing valves 58 and 59 to the piston 62 which actuates the pump and the resistance of the circuit to the movement of the pump piston 24, this rate may be adjusted either by changing the pressure delivered to the motor piston 62 or by changing the resistance.
  • the reducing valves 58 and 59 may be adjusted to deliver the proper pressure to the motor, and I have also provided means for adjusting the resistance in the circuit between the pump and the mask of the patient. This is eflected by varying the eflective size of the conduit 22 which may be regulated by a throttle valve in the form of a clamp 22 which has a fixed jaw 22 and a movable jaw 22. The latter is connected to a screw 22 threadedly mounted in the clamp so that it may be adjusted toward and from the fixed jaw 22 of the clamp and restrict the eliective size of the passage 22 as desired.
  • a butterfly valve 86 is provided in the casing 21, this valve being pivoted at $7 and provided with an arm 88 to which is connected a rod or stem 89 secured to the diaphragm 34 to be moved thereby.
  • a leaf spring 9% may be secured at one end to a fixed member 91 and the other end of this leaf spring is engaged with the rod so as to normally bias the valve 86 toward the position shown in dotted lines in FIG. 1 regardless oi'the direction in which it is moved from this position.
  • This dotted-line position may, therefore, be considered as the normal position of the valve 86, and the amount of gas flowing around the valve is suliicient under the higher pressures of the pump, employed with a conscious patient, to deliver a normal supply of gas to the patient.
  • this negative pressure pulls down the dia phragm 34 of the tambour 32 and deflects the valve 86 into a position shown in full lines in FIG. 1 or a position between the dottedand full-line positions, thus reducing the resistance of the circuit and allowing a greater flowrate of the gases.
  • the amount of opening of this valve for any given effort of the patient is determined by the stiffness of the spring employed to urge the valve toward its central or zero position, and this in turn controls the rate at which the increased flow of gas is delivered which dir'lers from the usual systems of assisted ventilation wherein the patient receives a fixed flow of gases and receives such flow only on inspiration.
  • the patient receives gases proportional to the demand during inspiration. and he may also cough or expire if desired without the machine limiting his rate of displacement.
  • a tumbler lever 92 is pivoted at 93 adjacent the diaphragm 34 so that it may be moved from its full-line to dotted-line position shown in FIG. 1 to push downwardly the diaphragm 34.
  • the valves 58 and 55* can then be adjusted to reduce the pressure of the gas delivered thereby and also the switching pressures may be adjusted by adjustment of the magnets 43 and 44 until the apneaed patient no longer breathing voluntarily receives adequate ventilation as determined by the anesthetist.
  • a conduit 95 controlled by a reducing valve 96 leads from the tank 41 to the orifice 97 of a metabolic regulator comprising a chamber E98 and piston 99.
  • a metering pin or needle valve 100 Connected to the piston is a metering pin or needle valve 100 which controls the orifice 97 and thus controls the entrance of gas into the chamber
  • a conduit 101 leads from this chamber through a flow meter 192 to the tambour 32 and thence through the line 3% into the mask 10.
  • a lever 103 pivoted at 1% has one end engaged with the. piston 99 and the other end of this lever is adapted to be engaged by pins and 1% on the piston rod 63 so that the metering valve 1% will be automatically opened and closed in the event that the excursions of the piston carry the rod to extreme upper and lower positions.
  • the pin 105 will gradually move the adjacent end of the lever 193 upwardly and thus open the metering pin an amount sufiicient to permit a greater quantity of oxygen to fiow to the patient to balance his consumption.
  • the piston 63 will gradually reciprocate further and further at the lower range of its stroke until the pin 1% engages the lever 163 and moves the metering pin 1% upwardly to close the orifice 97. Eventually a balanced position will be assumed by the metering pin corresponding to the metabolic consumption of the patient.
  • FIG. 2 The position of the parts of the apparatus during the expiratory phase is shown in FIG. 2 and the movement to this position may now be described. It has already been explained that during the inhalation of a conscious or semi-conscious patient a partial vacuum is created in the tambour 32, thus opening the valve 86 to the position shown in full lines in PEG. 1 against the bias of the spring 91 As the inspiratory phase approaches the patients full capacity, the latter no longer creates a par tial vacuum in the system, and the valve 86 gradually moves toward its dotted-line position shown in this figure.
  • the magnet has been set by the anesthetist to effect the switching of the valve member 36 at a definite positive pressure determined by him as being that necessary for switching when the lungs are filled with an adequate volume of gas, and the change in the position of this valve will not be effected until this point has been reached. It will be noted, however, that when the patient stops breathing when hi lungs are full, the mask pressure goes from negative to zero and then to position as the gases continue to be delivered by the pump. It is desirable, therefore, to provide means for preventing movement of the valve past its dotted-line position shown in FIG. 1 so as to prevent a great, though temporary, inrush of air at the end of the inspiratory phase when conditions should be more tranquil.
  • a stop lever 167 is pivoted at 1118 adjacent the casing 21 so that the lower face of this lever may be held by a spring 1119 in position to engage the pivot pin 110 by which the arm 88 is pivoted to the rod 89.
  • a lever 111 is pivoted at 112 and biased by the spring 113 in position to engage the pivot 110 when the latter is in its upper position shown in PEG. 2.
  • the levers 107 and 111 are provided with arms 115 and 116 adapted to be engaged by pins 117 and 118 on a piston rod 119.
  • a piston 120 moving in a cylinder 121 to which gas is delivered by a conduit 122 connected to the conduit 71
  • the lower end of the piston rod 119 carries a piston 123 in a cylinder 124 to which gas is delivered by the conduit 125 connected to the conduit 64.
  • Fixed stops 126 and 127 may be provided to engage the lever arms 115 and 116 so as to limit the movement of these levers by the springs 1G9 and 113.
  • the pin 118 is, therefore, moved away from the tail 116 of the lever 111 and the spring 113 is allowed to pull the lever 111 in a clockwise direction into the path of the pivot pin 1141, thus preventing the valve 86 from again returning past its neutral position to a position which it would occupy in the inspiratory phase of the apparatus.
  • the tail of the lever 167 is engaged by the pin 127 and this lever will be moved against the action of the spring 109 into the position shown in FIG. 2 in which its lower face is out of the path of the pivot pin 11%.
  • the apparatus is now in the expiratory phase.
  • the patient expires and positive pressure in line 30 will lift the valve as to the position shown in FiG. 2 or any position on that side of its neutral position which satisfies the expiratory demands or rates. If during this period the patient should temporarily arrest his expiration, bringing the masl; pressure to zero and even slightly negative but not negative enough to switch the valve member 36, the pin 110 would be blocked by the lever 111, thus again preventing the valve 86 from being moved to the other side of its neutral position and again preventing an exorbitant rush of air near the end of the expiratory stroke at the time when tranquility would be desired and before the apparatus is shifted to the inspiratory phase by the valve member 35.

  • the plunger 13 will be moved toward the left and cuts off the supply of oxygen through the passage 136. In this way there is always an adequate supply of oxygen in the bag 315 to satisfy the demands of the patient as the supply is autom...ically maintained as described in response to an inordinate collapse of the bag 315.

  • the pin 156 does not contact the end 155 of the lever 153, and hence the flap 144 remains closed and gas is not vented from the bag 315. If, however, the bag should become too full, which means that the pump chamber 2 3 has become too full, the pin 15 6 strikes the lever end 155 and moves it downwardly, thus swinging the bell-crank lever 149 in a clockwise direction and permitting the flap 144 to uncover the vent opening 143, thus allowing any additional gas expired by the patient to escape from the bag 315 beneath the flap.

  • this pressure is negative.
  • the dilierence between this positive pressure and ambient pressure is greater than the difierence between the negative pressure and ambient pressure and as a result gas in the chamber 316 and the connecting conduits progressively leaks out to the atmosphere and the pump piston gradually approaches the closed or bottom end (upper as shown in the drawing) of the cylinder 23 in its range of movement until it is stopped and can no longer deliver gases.

  • the tension of the spring is so chosen [that the lever 18% will be lifted at the beginning oi expiration, thus opening valve 85 and allowin the gas to escape from the mask rapidly but the tension gradient of the spring 185 is such that as soon as gas pressure drops, the lever 18?- overcomes the remaining pressure of the expiratory gases at the mouth of the patient and forces the diaphragm inwardly to close the valve 85. or move it to its neutral position. This results in the rapid drop of expiratory pressure at the be ning of expiration and yet retards the flow of gas durlng the middle of the expiration, permitting a more normal length or" expiratory time.

  • the exact volume of in the system naturally de pends upon the positive and negative pressures employed during the inspiratory and expiratory phases.
  • the pump pressure in the present apparatus is positive during an inspiratcry phase and negative during an expiratory phase with relation to ambient pr me so that the absolute pressure is greater during the former phase than during the latter.
  • the gas in the s stem is, therefore, alt rnately subjected to these absolute pressures, and it will be recognized that according to Boyles law the change of volume of the can readily be computed for any change in pressure.
