Abstract:
Artificial respiration device for giving artificial respiration to a human being or mammal, comprising a tube, having a proximal end and a distal end, the distal end to be passed through the mouth and the pharynx towards the end of the trachea, characterized in that the distal end of the tube (2) opens out in a flexible hose (3), wherein a proximal end of the hose (3) is fixed to the distal end of the tube, and a distal end of the hose (3) extending away from the tube (2), said hose (3) being made of a material or materials with certain memory, and in that the device comprises an insertion element (8) movably mounted inside the tube (2), said insertion element (8) having a proximal end and a distal end, the distal end of the insertion element (8) being detachably fixed to the distal end of the hose (3), and the proximal end of the insertion element (8) protruding from the proximal end of the tube (2), wherein the insertion element by means of the proximal end thereof is movable with respect to the tube (2) from a first position wherein the distal end of the insertion element (8) in essence exerts no pulling force on the distal end of the hose (3), to a second position, towards the distal end of the tube wherein the distal end of the insertion element (8) exerts a pulling force on the distal end of the hose (3) in order to make the hose (3) constrict.
