Respiratory flow sensor

A respiratory flow sensor, which is suitable for use near a patient, covers a broad gas volume flow measuring range with a low breathing flow resistance and good, reproducible measured signal quality at the same time. The respiratory flow sensor has a first air resistance body ( 3 ) with a blunt end...

Zusammenfassung:A respiratory flow sensor, which is suitable for use near a patient, covers a broad gas volume flow measuring range with a low breathing flow resistance and good, reproducible measured signal quality at the same time. The respiratory flow sensor has a first air resistance body ( 3 ) with a blunt end and with an opposite pointed end. The air resistance body ( 3 ) is arranged between the measuring transducer ( 5 ), of which there is at least one, and the patient-side end (P) of the respiratory flow sensor. The pointed end of the first air resistance body ( 3 ) points toward the measuring transducer ( 5 ). A second air resistance body ( 4 ) with a pointed end is arranged between the measuring transducer ( 5 ), of which there is at least one, and the end of the respiratory flow sensor that is away from the patient. The pointed end of the second air resistance body ( 4 ) also points toward the measuring transducer ( 5 ).
