Abstract:
A respiration system comprising:a portable respiration apparatus having a gas inlet and a gas outlet and a pressure and flow generating unit, controlled by a portable respiration apparatus control unit, connected between said gas inlet and said gas outlet, said pressure and flow generating unit producing a gas flow having an upper pressure limit at said gas outlet from gas supplied at said gas inlet, and an intubation system connected to said gas outlet for supplying said gas flow from said gas outlet to a patient; anda stationary gas unit having a stationary gas unit inlet and a stationary gas unit outlet, said stationary gas unit outlet being releasably connectable to said gas inlet of said portable respiration apparatus, said stationary gas unit having gas supply means supplying gas to said gas inlet of said portable respiration apparatus having a predetermined flow and positive pressure and a control unit for operating said gas supply means for producing a gas flow at said gas outlet of said portable respiration apparatus having a pressure higher than said upper pressure limit; andsaid portable respiration apparatus being operable independently of said stationary gas unit.
