[Electric drive of alternate-flow inhalation generators used in apparatuses for artificial lung ventilation]
Abstract:
A method of selection of electric drive of alternate-flow inhalation generators used in apparatuses for mechanical lung ventilation (MLV) is suggested. This method is based on parametric equation for load compiled with due regard to required forms of inhalation and time characteristics of the beginning and end of inhalation. The structure and functions of the pulse astatic electric drive for commercially available MLV apparatuses are considered. This drive is consistent with the requirements for static accuracy of movement and positioning of electric drive of alternate-flow inhalation generators.
