Definitions

  • This invention relates to a monitoring apparatus, and in particular to a monitoring apparatus for artificial ventilation.
  • Apparatus has been proposed for monitoring the relative humidity of the gas entering the infant, but its measurements depend on tapping a small amount (3-4%) of gas from the gas supply and feeding this through an electronic hygrometer and its associated thermistor. Consequently the sample size is small and the readings may be inaccurate.
  • apparatus for monitoring gas from a ventilator comprising a gas supply conduit and a sensor for sensing one or more parameters of the gas, the sensor being in communication with the conduit so that in use a portion of the gas flowing in the conduit is diverted from the conduit to the sensor and thence re-joins the conduit.
  • a method of monitoring gas from a ventilator comprising diverting a portion of the gas flowing from the ventilator, sensing one or more parameters of the portion and allowing the portion of gas to re-join the flowing gas.
  • the gas supply conduit may be a line which supplies a mixture of air and oxygen to a patient receiving respiratory support from the ventilator.
  • the sensor may be disposed in a sensing chamber.
  • the conduit may be adjacent the sensing chamber and in communication with the chamber through a branch of the conduit.
  • the conduit and the sensing chamber share a mutual wall which is cut away to provide a 'window' through which the gas from the conduit has access into and out of the sensing chamber.
  • the flow rate of the gas ensures that this occurs in a turbulent fashion to ensure a good mix and give accurate sampling.
  • a baffle or other obstruction may be provided in the conduit to cause positive diversion of a portion of the gas to the sensor.
  • the senor comprises a probe.
  • the probe may be attached to apparatus which measures physical parameters such as relative humidity and temperature.
  • apparatus may be an electronic hygrometer and a thermistor.
  • the gas at the sensor is at a temperature that exceeds its dewpoint. This avoids condensation which may lead to inaccurate measurement. Most preferably the temperature is from 37 to 40 degrees C.
  • a heating coil may be provided to ensure the temperature of the gas is higher than its dewpoint.
  • the heating coil is preferably wrapped around the sensing chamber, and may also be wrapped around the ' conduit in the vicinity of the sensing chamber.

  • the gas line 102 is shown in more detail in Figs 5a to 5c and is a tube which has an internal diameter which is narrower than the internal diameter of the chamber 103.
  • a baffle 15 is located in the line 102 and diverts air from the line 102 into the sensing chamber 103 through the window 11.
  • the chamber 103 is blocked at one end 106 and its other end 105 is used to admit a probe (not shown).
  • Figs. 4a to 4c show the sensing chamber 103 in more detail and Fig. 4b shows that the sensing chamber 103 is internally threaded at 12 and the probe has a corresponding thread to enable the probe to be screwed into the sensing chamber 103.
  • the probe is connected to an electronic hygrometer and its associated thermistor (not shown).
  • the thermistor and the humidity sensor are combined and may be, for example, a VAISALA (Trade Mark) humidity and temperature probe.

  • both embodiments provide a closed loop between the gas line 102 and the sensing chamber 103, loss of pressure in the gas line, which may adversely affect the baby, is prevented.

Abstract

On décrit un appareil pour contrôler du gaz provenant d'un ventilateur, ledit appareil comprenant un détecteur disposé dans une chambre de détection (103) en communication gazeuse avec un conduit d'alimentation en gaz (102), qui amène du gaz dudit ventilateur à un patient. La communication gazeuse (11) disposée entre la chambre (103) et le conduit (102) permet au gaz provenant du conduit (102) d'entrer d'abord dans ladite chambre de détection (103), et ensuite dans ledit conduit (102). En général, on prévoit une chicane (15) pour dévier dans la chambre (103) une partie du gaz provenant du conduit (102). On peut également prévoir une bobine de chauffage (107) de manière à assurer une température du gaz à proximité du détecteur supérieure au point de rosée dudit gaz.
