[H.R.P.-J.M.V.-200. A device for the simple adoption of modern ventilation techniques with various, even old, mechanical ventilators (author's transl)].

A new constructed device (H.R.P.-I.M.V.-2000) is presented. New techniques of artificial respiration such as E.S.-I.M.V., I.D.V., I.P.P.B. + P.E.E.P. compl., C.P.A.P. ect. can now be used with different types of respirators (pressure-, pressure-flow- and volume-time cycled) even older models. No constructional modifications, are necessary. To perform these techniques manipulation of only two control elements are necessary. Additionally hand ventilation is possible without any further device by the use of the H.R.P.-Respiration-Sets. The significance of E.S.-I.M.V. compared with I.M.V. and I.D.V. has between demonstrated. E.S.-I.M.V. has proved very valuable, because a basic mandatory respiratory is combined with the possibility of a patient-triggered expiration phase. Therefore fighting against the respirator is avoided. In addition the I.M.V.-device is the universal adapter for a new developed respiratory system (H.R.P.-System 2000) for different types of respirators. These sets (including a heated humidifier) are available as disposables or reusables and guarantee optimum hygiene during artificial respiration.
