Patent ID: 10960166

Abstract:
The present invention relates to an arrangement (1) comprising a switchable connection (2) and a gas flow reversing element (3), e.g. according to WO 2008/113752 A1, which is suitable for using a gas supply (4), in particular oxygen, which is at excess pressure in order to selectively generate a gas stream (5) from or to a line connection (6) which can be connected, in particular via a lumen (7), to an airway of a patient (8); wherein the switchable connection (2) is arranged at the branching piece (10) or at the line connection (6) and switchably connects at least one second line (15) to the first line (13), wherein the switchable connection (2) has at least two switching positions (16, 17), wherein (1) in the first switching position (16) the first line (13) is open and the second line (15) is closed, such that the gas flow (5) through the connection (2) can flow in both directions along the first line (13); (2) in the second switching position (17), if the switchable connection (2) is arranged at the branching piece (10), the second line (15) is fluidically connected, via the connection (2), to the line connection (6) and in particular to the lumen (7) or, if the switchable connection (2) is arranged at the line connection (6), the second line (15) is connected to the lumen (7).
