Portable assembly for emergency ventilation

A portable assembly apparatus for emergency ventilation, comprising:

• a) a source of compressed gas, wherein said compressed gas course is equipped with a gas pressure-reducing valve device to control the flowrate and the pressure of the gas issuing from said compressed gas source;
• by a respiratory assistance ventilator fed with gas by said compressed gas source;
• and
• c) a man/machine interface cooperating with said ventilator so as to permit regulation of at least one ventilation parameter and at least one ventilation set-point.

A portable assembly apparatus for emergency ventilation, comprising:

• a) a source of compressed gas, wherein said compressed gas course is equipped with a gas pressure-reducing valve device to control the flowrate and the pressure of the gas issuing from said compressed gas source;
• b) a respiratory assistance ventilator fed with gas by said compressed gas source;
• and
• c) a man/machine interface cooperating with said ventilator so as to permit regulation of at least one ventilation parameter and at least one ventilation set-point,
• wherein said gas pressure-reducing valve device comprises an outlet connector to which said respiratory assistance ventilator is fixed;
• wherein said respiratory assistance ventilator comprises an internal gas circuit forming a fluidic connection from an inlet orifice to an outlet orifice, and a proportional valve being arranged on said internal circuit, said valve being controlled by control means cooperating with said man/machine interface;
• wherein said man/machine interface comprises means for regulating a ventilation set-point or parameter in order to permit selection and regulation of at least one ventilation parameter or of at least one ventilation set-point;
• wherein said pressure-reducing valve and said ventilator are protected by a protective hood fixed on said compressed gas source;
• wherein said pressure-reducing valve device, said respiratory assistance ventilator, and said man/machine interface cooperating with said ventilator form a compact system supported by said compressed gas source;
• and
• wherein said compact system is supported by an oxygen cylinder.

A method of providing emergency ventilation to a patient comprising treating said patient with oxygen, wherein said oxygen is provided using a portable assembly comprising:

• a) a source of compressed gas, wherein said compressed gas course is equipped with a gas pressure-reducing valve device to control the flowrate and the pressure of the gas issuing from said compressed gas source;
• b) a respiratory assistance ventilator fed with gas by said compressed gas source;
• and
• c) a man/machine interface cooperating with said ventilator so as to permit regulation of at least one ventilation parameter and at least one ventilation set-point.
