摘要:
A respiration moistener (1) has an inlet (3), into which incoming gas (2) to be moistened can be fed. Vapor (21) is mixed with the incoming gas (2) in a mixing chamber (4). Moistened outgoing gas (5) flows out of an outlet (6). In cases in which the temperature of the incoming gas (2) becomes so high that the temperature of the outgoing gas (5) is above a desired value, the internal desired value is adjusted. The outgoing gas (5) can then cool to the desired value on its way through the inspiration tube (7).

A liquid evaporator includes a liquid reservoir (3) with a liquid to be evaporated, a heater (9) and an evaporator tube (12). The evaporator tube (12) has a first porous element (1) having a first porosity and with an area in contact with the liquid in the liquid reservoir (3) and a second porous element (2) with a second porosity and with an area present on an evaporator side (50) used to dispense the evaporated liquid, and an area outside the liquid reservoir heated by the heater (9) which is not directly in connection with the liquid. The first porous element and the second porous element are in contact in contact areas with the first porous element forming a wick delivering liquid from the reservoir to the contact area.
摘要:
A thermotherapy device is operated as an incubator or as an open care unit. The care unit has a bed for receiving newborns, which can be closed with a hood (3). At least one heat radiation source (4) is provided. The hood (3) is located between the bed and the heat radiation source (4) when the thermotherapy device is closed and the hood is at least partially transparent to the radiation originating from the heat radiation source (4). The device allows only a small temperature drop during the transfer from the open mode of operation into the closed mode of operation and vice versa.
摘要:
An arrangement for measuring the body temperature of a living organism includes a sensor housing containing a first temperature sensor for measuring the skin temperature of the living organism, a second temperature sensor and an evaluation unit. The first temperature sensor is placed on the skin of the body and the second temperature sensor is arranged thermally insulated on the side of the first temperature sensor facing away from the skin and is at a spacing relative to the first temperature sensor. The evaluation unit computes the body temperature in accordance with a pregiven temperature formula which contains a temperature difference from the temperatures measured by the first temperature sensor and the second temperature sensor. A compensation unit is provided in such a manner that a lost heat flow (qsa) is considered which occurs during the measurement operation.
摘要:
An anesthetic metering system includes an anesthetic reservoir (1) having an anesthetic reserve (2), which is limited by a flexible material wall and to which pressure is admitted by means of a propellant (3) acting thereon via the wall material. The anesthetic reservoir (1) has a first valve (4), which is in flow connection with the liquid anesthetic reserve (2) and can be inserted into a mounting element (6) of an anesthesia apparatus. The metered release of anesthetic to the anesthesia apparatus takes place via a volumetric nozzle (8). The present invention provides an anesthetic metering device which avoids, on the one hand, the drawbacks of the anesthetic evaporators used previously, which are to be refilled with anesthetics at the workplace, and makes possible the refilling of the anesthetic reservoir (1) at the anesthetic manufacturer, on the other hand.

An incubator for premature and newborn patients is provided with a heater (6), and a fresh air flow (13) fed in with oxygen metering, characterized in that the incubator has an electrically operated oxygen concentrator (12), and an oxygen sensor (5) for measuring the oxygen concentration in the incubator, wherein the oxygen metering device (7) meters the oxygen released by the oxygen concentrator (12) into the fresh air flow (13) fed into the incubator.
摘要:
A measuring system and method for the contactless and continuous determination of the body core temperature of a person/subject preferably includes a matrix-like infrared sensor (3) that is directed toward the nose-side area of the canthus. The infrared sensor (3) is connected with an evaluating unit (5) for the evaluation of the infrared signals and the selection of the maximum in the matrix. The evaluating unit (5) is connected with a computing unit (6) for the calculation of the body core temperature from the maximum determined and for displaying via a display (7) and/or transmission of the measured signals and/or the calculated value for the body core temperature.
摘要:
A reusable anesthetic container (1) has an anesthetic reserve space (2), which is provided with at least one movable wall element (3). The wall element (3) can be caused to follow the liquid anesthetic volume. In one embodiment, the movable wall element (3) is designed as a piston, which is caused to follow the anesthetic volume via a toothed piston rod (9). An elastomer ring is preferably provided on the storage container as a detent pawl for the piston rod (9). The anesthetic container (1) has a first metering element (5), which is actuated inductively by means of a complementary second metering element (6) cooperating with another metering element on the anesthesia apparatus (7) for metering the anesthetic.
摘要:
A process is provided for determining the functional residual capacity (FRC) of the lungs during respiration. An environmentally friendly trace gas is used in a process and system for determining the FRC by using fluoropropanes as a trace gas. Values for the FRC can thus be calculated, resolved for individual breaths, from the expiratory trace gas concentration and the expired breathing gas volume and they can be used for determining the FRC depending on their convergence behavior.
摘要:
A respiration humidifier has a metering device (3, 10) and an electrically heated evaporator (4), which is in connection with or can be connected to the metering device (3, 10) on its inlet side (E) and with a respiratory gas channel (5), through which respiratory gas can flow, on its outlet side (A). The metering device (3, 10) feeds the amount of water necessary for humidifying the respiratory gas to a predetermined relative humidity of the respiratory gas at a predetermined respiratory gas temperature to the evaporator (4) per unit of time as a function of the amount of respiratory gas flowing through per unit of time. The evaporator (4) provides water vapor with a temperature above 134.degree. C., which heats the respiratory gas to the predetermined respiratory gas temperature on mixing with the respiratory gas to be humidified.
