Device for detecting respiration activity of patient e.g. newborn child, has detecting unit comprising fluid chamber element with fluid space volume that is controlled by radially eccentric abdomen- and/or thorax movement
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung (1) zum Detektieren einer Atmungstätigkeit eines Patienten (2) mit einer Detektiereinrichtung (4) zum Detektieren wenigstens eines Beginns einer inspirativen Atmungstätigkeit, bei welchem die Detektiereinrichtung (4) ein volumenveränderbares Fluidkammerelement (5) mit einem durch eine radial exzentrische Abdomen- und/oder Thoraxbewegung (6) beeinflussbaren Fluidraumvolumen (7) aufweist.The device (1) has a detecting unit (4) for detecting a start of an inspirational respiration activity and comprising a rectangular volume-variable fluid chamber element (5) with a fluid space volume (7) that is controlled by a radially eccentric abdomen- and/or thorax movement. The detecting unit is provided with a detection contact surface (9) in a region of the chamber element for ventral installation of the detecting unit in a region of the abdomen- and/or thorax of a patient (2). A sensor element measures volume of fluid (16) displaced out of the chamber element. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a method for detecting a respiration activity of a patient (2) a respirator for carrying out a synchronized artificial respiration and/or a resistive and resilient relief of a patient.
