Device for artificial respiration

Abstract

The disclosed device serves for artificial respiration and has a blower connected to a control. The blower is held by a supporting part, which assumes the task of decoupling and other functions. The blower and the supporting part are arranged in a blower box. Both the control and the blower box are arranged in a housing. The control is connected to at least one indicating device and also to at least one operating element.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A device for artificial respiration, wherein the device comprises a blower connected to a control, both the control and the blower being present in a housing, and the control being connected to at least one indicating device and at least one operating element, and wherein the blower is arranged in a blower box and secured by a supporting part of viscoelastic or elastomeric material present in the blower box, the device being configured such that it can be operated with or without a humidifier connected to it and that regardless of whether the device is operated with or without humidifier the same connection of the device for directly connecting the device to a respiratory gas tube can be used. 
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the viscoelastic or elastomeric material comprises a silicone. 
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the blower is connected to the supporting part by a coupling element of viscoelastic or elastomeric material. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 3 , wherein the supporting part and the coupling element are formed as one part. 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 3 , wherein the blower is surrounded by the coupling element. 
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 4 , wherein the blower is surrounded by the coupling element. 
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the device further comprises elastic spacing elements on one or both sides of the supporting part. 
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 3 , wherein the device further comprises elastic spacing elements on one or both sides of the coupling element. 
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 4 , wherein the device further comprises elastic spacing elements on one or both sides of the coupling element. 
     
     
         10 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the device further comprises an element of foam material which is held on the supporting part. 
     
     
         11 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the device further comprises at least one communication interface which is arranged in a side region of the device and inclined in relation to a horizontal. 
     
     
         12 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the indicating device is arranged in an inclined manner in relation to a vertical direction. 
     
     
         13 . The device of  claim 11 , wherein the indicating device is arranged in an inclined manner in relation to a vertical direction. 
     
     
         14 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the housing has a triangular cross-sectional area. 
     
     
         15 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein a front unit of the device comprises or consists of a vertically extending first segment and a second segment, which is inclined in relation to a vertical direction and in which the indicating device is arranged. 
     
     
         16 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the indicating device is present in the form of a panel-like display fixed in a front unit by a frame-like securing element. 
     
     
         17 . The device of  claim 16 , wherein the securing element provides a clasp for fixing the display or can be screwed in a front unit. 
     
     
         18 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein only one mechanical operating element is provided for activation of a device function. 
     
     
         19 . A device for artificial respiration, wherein the device comprises a blower connected to a control, both the control and the blower being arranged in a housing, and the control being connected to at least one indicating device and at least one operating element, wherein the blower is surrounded by a coupling element which connects the blower to a supporting part of viscoelastic or elastomeric material and wherein the device is configured such that it can be operated with or without a humidifier connected to it and that regardless of whether the device is operated with or without humidifier the same connection of the device for directly connecting the device to a respiratory gas tube can be used. 
     
     
         20 . The device of  claim 19 , wherein the supporting part and the coupling element are formed as one part.
