A fluidically controlled ventilator for bronchoscopy.
A simple time-cycled device uses an oscillating, fluidic, bistable element to control the high-pressure oxygen, supply to the ejector of a ventilating bronchoscope. Both manual and automatic modes of function are available, and inflation pressure and respiratory rate are controlled. Its construction is simple, the cost is low and the number of components is small.
