title: [High frequency jet ventilation in heated gas saturated in water vapor without a reserve of medical gas under pressure. An original method].
abstract: A prototype of high frequency jet ventilator is compared with a classic device: Gambro Soxijet ventilator. The advantages of the prototype are: no need of pressured medical gas; warming and saturated moisture of the gas. A powerful compressor (2 M3.H-1 flow--3 bar pressure) draws up the moistened and warmed gases and injects them into a double pneumatic capacity. The first capacity is pressure limited by a relief valve (3 bar). Exhausted gases flow back to the pump. A miniature pressure regulator, placed between the two capacities, rules the driving pressure. Gas mixture is injected through a solenoid valve controlled by an electronic twin-timer. Results of both devices are similar. However, our prototype seems to be very convenient for developing countries where medical gases under high pressure are not often available.
