Abstract
The present invention relates to a respiratory therapy device (1) for the targeted assistance of a secretion removal from the airways of a patient and a method for operating such a respiratory therapy device (1). The respiratory therapy device (1) comprises a flow unit (2) for generating a respiratory airflow for an insufflation and a respiratory airflow for an exsufflation, which comprises a patient interface (3) for connecting the patient and a respiratory air interface and two fans (5, 6) fluidically connected in parallel each having an intake side (15, 16) and a delivery side (25, 26). A first fan (5) is fluidically coupled with its intake side (15) and a second fan (6) is fluidically coupled with its delivery side (26) to a switchable valve unit (7).
Claims20
A respiratory therapy device for the targeted assistance of a secretion removal from the airways of a patient, wherein the device comprises a flow unit for generating at least one respiratory airflow for an insufflation into the patient and for generating at least one respiratory airflow for an exsufflation out of the patient, which flow unit comprises a patient interface for connecting the patient to the respiratory therapy device and a respiratory air interface for connecting the respiratory therapy device to respiratory air or ambient air, and wherein the flow unit comprises at least two flow paths extending in parallel, wherein each flow path comprises at least one gas source each having at least one intake side and at least one delivery side, a first gas source being fluidically coupled with its intake side and a second gas source being fluidically coupled with its delivery side to a switchable valve unit which is fluidically arranged between each of the first gas source and the second gas source and the respiratory air interface.
A respiratory therapy device for assisting a secretion removal from the airways of a patient, wherein the device comprises a flow unit for generating at least one respiratory airflow for an insufflation into the patient and for generating at least one respiratory airflow for an exsufflation out of the patient, which flow unit comprises a patient interface for connecting the patient to the respiratory therapy device and a respiratory air interface for connecting the respiratory therapy device to the respiration air or breathing air and further comprises at least two flow paths, each flow path comprising at least one gas source having in each case at least one intake side and at least one delivery side, which gas sources are fluidically coupled to a switchable valve unit which is fluidically arranged between the flow unit and the respiratory air interface.
