Abstract:
A positive pressure ventilation (PPV) appliance module includes an adapter that couples to a port on an NIV mask and an appliance for performing a respiratory care procedure. The adapter is configured to form a PPV seal with the port of the PPV mask and also form a PPV seal with the appliance. The PPV appliance module allows clinicians to perform procedures through the NIV mask without disrupting the therapeutic pressure.

Claim (Index 1):
A positive pressure ventilation (PPV) appliance module for performing a procedure through a PPV mask, comprising:\n a PPV appliance adapter configured to be removably attached to an access port of a PPV mask, the appliance adapter having a first seal surface and a second seal surface, the first seal surface configured to form a first PPV seal with an access port of the PPV mask when attached thereto, the second seal surface defining an appliance aperture that forms a second PPV seal with an appliance, the appliance adapter having an inside portion on a first side of the first and second seals and an outside portion on a second side opposite the first side, wherein the inside portion is exposed to the pressure of the ventilator and the outside portion is exposed to a pressure external to the PPV mask when the adapter is attached thereto; a PPV appliance including an elongate member having a distal end and a proximal end, wherein the distal end includes a working head, a portion of the elongate member positioned within the appliance aperture of the adapter, wherein the working head has a larger diameter than the appliance aperture so as to prevent the working head from being passed through the appliance aperture, the working head positioned on the first side of the adapter and the proximal end positioned on the second side of the adapter such that the working head is exposed to the pressure of the ventilator when the adapter is attached to the access port.
