[Additional gadget for new techniques of artifical respiration with the Bennett repirator PR 2, particulary suitable for use in children (author's transl)].

A new gadget for the Bennett PR 2 repirator is described which in modified form can also be used with other types of apparatus. It makes possible new techniques of artificial respiration like IPPB with PEEP or compensated PEEP, the gasp respiration with CPAP or CPAP by itself, in a simple way. In neonates one may do without the often problematical assisted respiration when weaning from the respirator. Further it is now possible to achieve sufficient warming and humidification of the gas mixture by using an auxiliary gas flow in the expiratory phase.
