Definitions

  • the invention relates to an apparatus for the controlled metering of gases, in particular for the controlled addition of NO or oxygen to a respiratory gas in apparatus for artificial respiration or respiratory donation.
  • Artificial respiration apparatus are used for mechanical artificial respiration, for anesthesia and for respiratory therapy by treatment with gases, e.g. oxygen donation or treatment with nitrogen monoxide (NO).
  • gases e.g. oxygen donation or treatment with nitrogen monoxide (NO).
  • An inhalation-anesthesia apparatus is described, for example, in DE 37 12 598 A1. It is used to meter anesthetic gas into the respiratory gas.
  • DE 43 25 319 C1 describes an apparatus for continuously metering NO to the respiratory air of patients, containing a respirator, an NO metering vessel, a metering unit with control unit and an analyser for determining the NO concentration in the respiratory air.
  • the control unit (monitoring and regulating unit) is responsible for metering the NO to be metered by determining the volumetric flow rates of respiratory gas and NO, taking into account the NO analysis parameter.
  • the NO metering is proportional to volume or to volumetric flow rate, so that the NO concentration in the respiratory gas is always kept constant.
  • the essential technical principles involved in metering NO in NO therapy are described in: “C. Krebs et al., Technological basis for NO application and environmental security, Acta Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica Supplement 109, Vol. 40, 1996; pp. 84-87”.
  • the gases are administered either via so-called nasal spectacles or a nasal probe (nasal application: in the most simple case, a gas supply tube, the opening of which is arranged to be open beneath the nasal orifices of the patient) or by means of a breathing mask (particularly in the case of CPAP).
  • a pulse-oxymeter is used to adapt the respiratory gas volume to be fed to the patient to the blood gas saturation level determined.
  • the invention is based on the object of providing an apparatus for supplying patients with one or more gases, the gas metering into a respiratory gas being individually adapted to a patient by means of a control unit of the apparatus.
  • the object is achieved by means of a program-controlled or a program- and sensor-controlled gas supply system, in particular by means of a gas supply system with controlled metering of at least one gas, in which system the gas is a pure gas or a gas mixture, the gas is metered in an inspiration-synchronized, program-controlled and/or sensor-controlled manner, and the volume of gas metered in one respiratory cycle is dependent on the respiratory gas volume.
  • Gas supply systems are arrangements or devices which feed one or more gases to a patient or provide one or more gases to a patient for respiration.
  • the gases in particular medical gases, are preferably mixed with air, a respiratory gas or oxygen, so that gas mixtures which maintain respiration are obtained.
  • a gas supply system is, for example, an artificial respiration system comprising artificial respiration apparatus and gas metering device for one or more gases.
  • An artificial respiration system comprises, for example, hose connections or gas lines, gas source, gas metering device (gas metering unit), breathing mask, preferably a respiratory gas humidifier and, if appropriate, one or more gas filters (e.g. NO 2 filter).
  • Artificial respiration systems having an artificial respiration apparatus are generally used for the in-patient treatment of patients.
  • Gas-supply systems may be stationary or mobile, in particular portable, apparatus.
  • Gas supply systems according to the invention are preferably used to treat humans or mammals with one or more gases, in particular for inhalation treatment of the lungs.
  • Gas supply systems are, for example, also gas-donating apparatus for spontaneously breathing patients. Such a gas supply system is described in DE 43 09 923 A1, to which reference is made.
  • the gas supply system generally contains a breathing mask or nasal spectacles.
  • the gas supply system preferably contains a humidifier for the respiratory gas and/or gas.
  • the gas supply system preferably contains one or more gas sources.
  • Gas sources are, for example, compressed-gas sources containing a compressed gas, such as compressed-gas vessels, compressed-gas cylinders, pressure boxes, compressed-gas lines or vessels containing cold-liquefied gas (e.g. for delivering evaporated, gaseous oxygen).
  • a gas generator may also serve as a gas source.
  • a gas generator is, for example, an on-site gas generator, e.g. for producing nitrogen monoxide (NO), in particular NO in nitrogen, by low discharge in a nitrogen/oxygen gas mixture.
  • Further gas generators are, for example, electrolysis cells (e.g. for generating hydrogen) or chemical reactors (e.g. reaction chambers in which chemical reactions take place in order to generate gas).
  • the gases are preferably medical gases.
  • Medical gases are gases or gas mixtures which are used in the medical sector, for example for treating disorders; therapy, prophylaxis, anesthesia, diagnostics, improving the respiratory function or state of health of humans or mammals. Medical gases often have a pharmacological action. However, medical gases may also be used for other properties (e.g. as contrast agents for tomography, in particular NMR computer tomography of the lung or other image-generating procedures). Medical gases are, for example, oxygen, anesthetic gases such as laughing gas (N 2 O) or xenon, hydrogen, noble gases such as helium, carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), nitrogen monoxide (NO) or gas mixtures containing one or more of the abovementioned gases as a constituent, e.g.
  • helium/oxygen gas mixtures helium/oxygen/NO gas mixtures or helium/oxygen/CO 2 gas mixtures.
  • the individual components or individual components and partial gas mixtures may also be metered in parallel (simultaneously or at different times) to, for example, a respiratory gas.
  • Medical gases generally have a high purity.
  • the metering of one or more gases advantageously takes place only during inspiration phases. No gas metering takes place during expiration. Gas metering which is synchronized to the respiratory cycles is achieved by means of a trigger effect with the aid of a sensor. The start of inspiration or the start and end of inspiration is detected by a control unit on the basis of sensor measured values. Gas metering takes place continuously (e.g. with a fixed volume or concentration of the metered gas per inspiration over the entire operating time) or discontinuously (e.g. with metering breaks), preferably
  • This type of gas metering is referred to as pulse-modulated gas metering.
  • the duration t max of inspiration and the beginning and end of inspiration are advantageously determined by means of a sensor.
  • the pulse width t i is less than or equal to the duration t max .
  • the values of pulse width, pulse height and number of pulses within one inspiration may be fixed in advance or variable.
  • a gas is advantageously metered by the combination of a basic metering, preferably with constant settings for V i ′, n i and t i , and an additive metering with variable (controlled) settings of V i ′, n i and t i .
  • Basic metering and additive metering of a gas are preferably carried out using separate metering devices (e.g. controlled solenoid valves).
  • the basic metering may in this case provide a basic supply of a gas and the gas volume and gas concentration are regulated by the additive gas metering.
  • the additive gas metering may be program- or sensor-controlled.
  • Measured values from the preceding inspiration e.g. the duration of inspiration (t max ) and/or the respiratory gas volume (V ges ), are used to control the metering of a gas.
  • Controlled variables are, for example, the gas concentration C i or the mixing ratio of gases (e.g. V 1 /V 2 ).
  • the gas metering can be varied between a lower limit value and an upper limit value, e.g. the gas concentration can be increased and reduced over a series of inspirations (e.g. in a regular sequence with an even or uneven ratio of raising and lowering the gas concentration; advantageous for NO metering).
  • the gas metering may also advantageously be controlled on the basis of a response curve previously determined on the patient.
  • a sensor is used to measure a body parameter of the patient (e.g. oxygen saturation in the peripheral blood and/or heart rate, determined by means of pulse-oxymeter) as a function of the metered volume of gas or gas concentration, and the temporal gas demand required to establish a uniform body condition is determined.
  • the sequence of the program used to control the metering of a gas is dependent on certain measured variables, which are detected by one or more sensors, being reached. For example, if a measured variable falls below or exceeds a threshold, program sequences of the gas metering may be triggered.
  • One threshold may activate a program section which brings about a metering sequence for high, average or low gas metering.
  • the gas metering is advantageously a metered addition of the gas (e.g. oxygen or NO or NO-containing gas) to the respiratory gas in metering intervals of a defined sequence (sequential gas metering).
  • the gas metering is carried out, for example, via a repeating sequence of inspiration cycles with gas metered to the respiratory gas (gas metering) and inspiration cycles without gas being added (exclusion).
  • the sequential gas metering is, for example, a repetition of the following sequences (regular sequences) with an equal duration of the metering intervals (e.g. metered addition of oxygen or NO during artificial respiration or for spontaneously breathing patients):
  • a metered gas addition may also comprise variable (irregular) sequences, e.g. a succession of sequences with increasing or decreasing numbers of metered gas additions.
  • the sequential gas metering has the advantage that for a time high levels of gas can be metered, while nevertheless on average, over a period of time, a very low concentration or volume of gas is added.
  • a sequence of one or more (two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten or more) inspirations can be used to administer a standard NO dose (e.g.
  • a sequence of inspirations one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten or twenty, thirty, forty, fifty or more inspirations
  • a sequence of inspirations one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten or twenty, thirty, forty, fifty or more inspirations
  • the sequential gas metering of two, three or more gases can be combined.
  • the controlled gas metering leads to a lower consumption of gas, in particular to a lower overall volume of gas administered, so that side-effects from the gas (e.g. NO) on the patient can be reduced.
  • a further advantage is that discontinuation and withdrawal of the gas therapy (e.g. NO therapy) are made easier. It is generally advantageous when withdrawing artificially respirated patients who need NO to continuously reduce the amount of NO administered.
  • a further significant advantage is that the level of toxic NO 2 formed overall from NO in the artificial respiration is lower.
  • Control equipment for gas metering can advantageously be controlled electrically.
  • Control equipment used is, for example, time- and/or sensor-controlled solenoid valves (e.g. solenoid valve with upstream-connected electronics, sold by Burkert, Germany), mass throughput regulators (e.g. appliance type MFC from Brooks, the Netherlands), automatically adjustable pressure regulators (e.g. adjustable by means of stepper motor or electric motor) or control valves for the direct, in particular automatic, adjustment of the gas pressure.

  • control valves for the direct, in particular automatic, adjustment of the gas pressure.
  • the evaporation of the gas is advantageously regulated by means of a heating device in the storage vessel.
  • the heating device is preferably an electrical resistance heater
  • Sensors are generally measurement sensors.
  • the term also comprises (in a broad sense) measurement appliances and analysis devices.
  • the use of sensors can be divided into sensors for triggering the gas metering (trigger sensors), sensors for controlling the sequence of gas metering (regulating sensors) and sensors for monitoring the safety of the gas supply system (e.g. for triggering an alarm or for safety shut-off of apparatus functions, in particular by means of gas sensors).
  • a suitable trigger sensor is a pressure sensor which measures the gas pressure, in particular a low-pressure sensor.
  • the measured signal from the sensor can itself be used as a control signal (e.g. in the case of a so-called “smart sensor”) or can be converted into a control signal by means of an electronic processing and control unit.
  • the sensor may, for example, measure the pressure (gas pressure) in or in front of the nose (e.g. by means of a sensor which is integrated in the breathing mask or nasal spectacles).
  • a pressure sensor is also suitable for detecting the profile of the inspirational reduced pressure and can be used to control a gas metering which is adapted to requirements (e.g. higher gas metering for deep inspirations, lower gas metering for shallow inspiration). It is also possible to measure differential pressures and use these for control purposes (e.g. differential pressure with respect to pressure at corresponding phase of preceding inspiration), since at a defined setting these pressures indicate the square of the flow rate.
  • Regulating sensors are, for example, pressure sensors, gas-specific sensors or gas sensors (e.g. electrochemical gas sensors for O 2 , NO or NO 2 ) and, in particular, sensors for detecting physical reactions, body functions or body states of the patient (patient-oriented measured values), sensors for measuring the oxygen saturation in the peripheral blood, e.g. pulse-oxymeters (e.g. ASAT appliance from Baxter, USA), sensors for blood gas analysis (e.g. 995 HO appliance from AVL, Austria; “Perotrend” appliance from Crosstec), sensors for measuring blood pressure or sensors for measuring pulmonary blood pressure (also pulmonary pressure or pulmonary artery pressure; by means of a catheter floating in the pulmonary artery, e.g.

  • the response curve may, for example, be determined by measuring the increasing oxygen content in the peripheral blood which is brought about by the NO metering and/or by the pulmonary pressure, which falls during NO metering. This response curve can be used to determine the most suitable NO metering.
  • An empirically determined set value can be compared with the measured variable in order to control the NO metering and, on this basis, a control unit (e.g. flow regulator or solenoid valve) can be actuated, the NO quantity, for example, being controlled in such a way that the temporal change in the measured variable measured on-line comes closer to the response curve.
  • a control unit e.g. flow regulator or solenoid valve
  • Limit values for the NO concentration to be set (minimum, maximum concentration), number of respiratory cycles with and without metered addition and optimum parameters for controlling the gas metering can be determined in a preceding determination or during the therapy itself (determination of the control parameters: desired gas concentration profile over the course of time).
