Filed:

Oct 9, 2009

Appl. No.:

13/124131

Inventors:

Christopher W. McDaniel - Bridgeville PA, US
Winslow K. Duff - Export PA, US
Mark C. McDermott - Pittsburgh PA, US

Assignee:

KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS ELECTRONICS N.V. - EINDHOVEN

International Classification:

A61M 16/00

US Classification:

12820421

Abstract:

A ventilator that is small, lightweight, and portable, yet capable of being quickly adapted to operate in a plurality of different modes and configurations to deliver a variety of therapies to a patent. A porting system having a plurality of sensors structured to monitor a number of parameters with respect to the flow of gas, and a number of porting blocks is used to reconfigure the ventilator so that it operates as a single-limb or dual limb ventilator. In the single-limb configuration, an active or passive exhaust assembly can be provided proximate to the patient. The ventilator is capable of operate in a volume or pressure support mode, even in a single-limb configuration. In addition, a power control mechanism controls the supply of power to the ventilator from an AC power source, a lead acid battery, an internal rechargeable battery pack, and a detachable battery pack.

US Classification:

12820423, 12820418, 12820525, 12820524

Abstract:

A method of assisting a patient with airway clearance includes providing a positive pressure insufflation gas flow to the patient during an insufflation phase, following completion of the insufflation phase, causing the patient to enter an expiratory hold condition wherein the patient is prevented from exhaling, providing an abdominal thrust to the patient while the patient is in the expiratory hold condition, terminating the expiratory hold condition, and following termination of the expiratory hold condition, providing a negative pressure exsufflation gas flow to the patient during an exsufflation phase.
