    摘要: A connection device and process connect a patient-side coupling unit to a source/sink of a gas including oxygen. The connection device includes a valve device with a first valve (40.1) and with a second valve (40.2). A source-side fluid guide unit establishes a fluid connection between the source or the sink and the valve device. A patient-side fluid guide unit establishes a fluid connection between the patient-side coupling unit and the valve device. The valves are connected in parallel and are arranged between the two fluid guide units. A gas flows from the source through the first and/or second valve to the patient-side coupling unit or through the first and/or second valves to the sink. A control pressure is set at each valve. As a result, the time course of the volume flow downstream of the valve device follows a predefined time course.

    摘要: A ventilation arrangement and a ventilation process provide ventilation for a patient. A first segment of a fluid guiding unit connects a fluid delivery unit to a valve (10). A second segment connects the valve (10) to a coupling unit on the patient side. A position of a valve body (19) of the valve (10) relative to a valve body seat (18) depends on an inlet pressure (P2) and on a control pressure (P1) and influences the volume flow (Vol′) through the second segment. An actuator (15) changes the control pressure (P1). A control signal (Sigcon) for the actuator (15) is generated with the objective of ensuring that the pressure or volume flow (Vol′) in the second segment assumes a predetermined value. A compensation signal (Sigcomp) for the actuator (15) is generated with the objective of preventing the valve body (19) from vibrating relative to the valve body seat (18).
