Abstract
A respitory assistance apparatus which includes: (a) a plurality of outputs (7.1 to 7.n), each of which can assist one patient; (b) a plurality of links (8.1 to 8.n) which respectively connect a respiratory gas source to one of the outputs of the apparatus; (c) a plurality of links (9.1 to 9.n) which respectively connect controlled valve means (5), fed with respiratory gas, to one of the outputs of the apparatus, so that each of the outputs of the apparatus receives one link of each of the pluralities; and (d) flow regulator means (10.1 to 10.n) which are mounted on at least some of the links.

Respiratory assistance apparatus comprising:
- a respiratory gas source;
- controlled valve mean, fed by said respiratory gas source and generating respiratory gas pulses, whose period and duration are controlled by said valve means;
- a plurality of outputs, each of which can assist one patient;
- a first plurality of links, which each respectively separately connects said controlled valve means to one of said outputs of the apparatus;
- a second plurality of links, which each respectively separately connects said respiratory gas source to one of said outputs of the apparatus, so that each of said outputs of the apparatus receives one link of said first plurality and one link of said second plurality and a patient connected to one of said outputs of the apparatus can receive respiratory gas pulses and a constant-pressure respiratory gas flow maintaining a permanent positive pressure in his lungs;
- and
- flow regulator means, which is mounted on at least some of the links of said first and second pluralities.
