ABSTRACT:
A portable apparatus for regulating the breathing pattern of a patient intended to be used as a remedy against the hyperventilation syndrome. A sensor attached to the body of the patient responds to movements of the chest. The output signals of the sensor are converted into control impulses having a repetition frequency equal to the breathing frequency and providing a criterion for the regulation. The regulation is performed with the aid of a tone generator alternately producing two audible tones having a different character. This tone generator is only in operation if the breathing frequency of the patient is below a prescribed limit frequency.
