16.3 Description of the ventilation drive
16.3.1 Principle of operation
The device has a piston drive.
The piston drive is connected directly to the breathing system. The electric
motor (3) moves the piston (4) by means of a spindle (2). Thus, the fresh gas is
moved out of the piston diaphragm and through the breathing system to the patient.
The user can check through a viewing window whether the piston is moving. During
inspiration, the ventilator applies the tidal volume with the required pressure and at
a defined respiratory rate.
