Summary
A ventilator has been designed specifically for use in paediatric anaesthesia. It is small, simple, cheap and efficient.
From this machine positive and positive-negative pressure ventilation is available. It has proved to function well both in the laboratory and in clinical use. It has the advantage that it is vacuum powered so that it can be used with impunity with explosive anaesthetics and in hyperbaric chambers.
Résumé
Nous avons mis à point un ventilateur pour usage spécifique en anesthésie pédiatrique. Cet appareil est petit, simple, peu dispendieux et efficace.
Cette machine peut procurer une ventilation à pression positive ou à pression positive-négative. Elle s’est avérée capable de travailler aussi bien en laboratoire qu’en clinique. Elle possède l’avantage de fonctionner par le vide de sorte qu’il est possible de l’employer impunément avec les agents anesthésiques explosifs et dans les chambres hyperbares.
