Abstract

A breathing-tube 1 through which the patient is intended to inspire and expire is connected to analyser 2 through which gas can be drawn from the tube 1, or from the patient's respiratory tract. The analyser 2 incorporates a semi-permeable or other restrictive device whereby gas can only enter the analyser from the breathing-tube 1, or the patient's respiratory tract when a flow is induced by other means such as a suction pump or fan 4 actuated by a source of electric power 5. Alternatively a pump or fan could be situated in the tube 3 between the analyser and the breathing-tube 1, or the respiratory tract. Moreover, between the <PICT:0829409/III/1> analyser and the pump or fan is connected a valve 6 actuatable by a solenoid 7. Two spaced points in the breathing-tube 1 are connected through a pair of tubes 8 and 9 respectively to opposite sides of a diaphragm 10 of a pressure-sensitive switch 11, and the arrangement is such that the pressure differential acting on opposite sides of the diaphragm as the patient expires through the tube 1 will cause the switch to close. The switch 11 is in series with an adjustable resistance 12 and the coil of a relay 13 which is connected to a direct-current supply from the power source 5. Energization of the relay 13 closes the switch 14 and moves the contact piece of the switch 15 to the alternative position. When the switch 11 is closed the condenser 16 is charged at a rate depending on the setting of the resistance 12 to provide a delay before actuation of the relay 13. When the relay 13 is actuated the switch 15 is changed from the position shown to discharge the condenser quickly through the resistance 17, and at the same time the switch 14 is closed to energize the solenoid 7 and thereby open the valve 6. Opening of the valve 6 will cause the suction pump or fan to be placed in operative connection with the analyser so that gas is drawn into the analyser from the breathing-tube, or from the patient's respiratory tract. At the end of expiration the switch 11 opens and the parts return to the positions shown. In use the resistance 12 is so adjusted that gas is only drawn into the analyser during the latter part of the expiration of the patient, normally corresponding to the expiration of the final part of the "end-tidal gas."
