[Pneumo-automatic apparatus for the artificial ventilation of the lungs for small laboratory animals]

We have designed apparatus of artificial ventilation of the lungs (AAV) for small laboratory animals on pneumoelements, examined static and dynamic characteristics of a generator of impulse signals and chose rational parametres of the apparatus. Some advantages of that model as compared with its analogues have been proved. The apparatus was approved at electrophysiological experiments on rats, 200-250 g. Monitoring of the most important parameters of the vital functions showed that external breathing on that apparatus was adequate.
