Estimating the term…
A breathing tube which is designed for channelling inspiratory and/or expiratory breathing gas during at least partial artificial respiration of a patient, defines a virtual breathing-gas-flow path, which is imagined to pass centrally through the tube and along which the breathing tube channels the breathing gas. The breathing tube has a filter carrier in which is formed a filter-accommodating space, which has the breathing-gas-flow path passing through it and in which a breathing-gas filter, which can have breathing gas flowing through it, can be accommodated in an interchangeable manner. The filter carrier has a wall which encloses the filter-accommodating space at a radial distance from the virtual breathing-gas-flow path and has an introduction opening, which is arranged at a radial distance from the virtual breathing-gas-flow path and through which the breathing-gas filter can be introduced into the filter-accommodating space and can be moved into its operationally ready operating position.
A respiratory line for conveying inspiratory or/and expiratory breathing gas during at least partial artificial respiration of a patient, wherein the respiratory line defines an imaginary virtual breathing gas flow path which is conceived as extending centrally through it, along which flow path the respiratory line conveys the breathing gas, wherein the respiratory line has a filter carrier in which a filter receiving space which is passed through by the breathing gas flow path is formed, in which a breathing gas filter, through which the breathing gas can flow, is replaceably accommodated,
A breathing gas filter arrangement including a breathing gas filter accommodated in a sleeve, wherein the sleeve has a coupling formation for coupling to a coupling counter-formation of a filter carrier or of a filter heater as well as an access opening for the delivery of the breathing gas filter from the sleeve, wherein at least one wall section of the sleeve is shiftable relative to the coupling formation in such a manner that the breathing gas filter, as a result of displacement of the displaceable wall section relative to the coupling formation, is shifted through the access opening out of the sleeve.
