ABSTRACT:
The conditioned air from a ventilator enters one chamber in a manifold, which chamber has a connection to an inspiratory conduit through which the conditioned air is conducted to the patient. The expiratory conduit from the patient communicates in the manifold with a second chamber, positioned below the first chamber. A wall in the manifold at the lowermost part of the first chamber defines an orifice providing fluid communication between the two chambers. At the lower part of the second chamber is the expiratory valve which is pulsed by the ventilator. Adjacent the patient is a slanted "Y" and elbow which provide communication between the inspiratory conduit, the expiratory conduit, and the patient's single endotracheal or tracheostomy tube. Various ports are provided in the "Y" and elbow and are closed by caps. These ports provide connections suitable for various needs such as temperature measurement, ventilator temperature controller probe, etc. In one embodiment the connections at the elbow provide freedom of rotational movement in two planes, which planes are at approximately right angles to each other. Various other features are incorporated to facilitate use of the ventilation apparatus to meet diverse requirements.
