    [0001] The present invention relates to a device for diagnosing the ventilatory efficacy of a patient undergoing respiratory assistance. The invention also relates to a ventilation system for the respiratory assistance of a patient comprising such a device and a method for ventilating a patient using such a ventilation system. Ventilation systems are used by emergency responders and medical and paramedical personnel involved in emergencies, anesthesia and resuscitation inside or outside the hospital or other health facility. Several research projects have been undertaken and several devices have been developed in recent years to improve the efficiency of manual ventilation. US2013 / 0180527 deals with the optimization of the shape of the balloon, used for ventilation, including fingerprints in order to impose a unique compression method, thus reducing the variation of the volume of air delivered to the patient. This device has been designed to provide a constant volume between 500 and 600 ml.
    [0002] US2008 / 0236585 measures airflow rates and peak pressure at the insufflation valve, informs rescuers of the ideal ventilation frequencies through a light timing signal and displays the volume injected at each breath cycle . WO2014 / 078840 discloses a system and method for controlling the resuscitation and respiratory function of a patient. A pressure sensor detects the air pressure and generates a first detection signal. A flow sensor measures an air flow and generates a second signal. A processor receives and processes the first and second detection signals using an algorithm to identify a ventilatory frequency, a pulmonary pressure, and a volume of air delivered to the patient. An analysis report is generated in real time with these identified values. Among the devices marketed, the Medumat Easy CPR from Weinmann is a less expensive alternative to mechanical transportable fans. This device provides manually triggered positive pressure artificial ventilation and has a timing function that allows the rescuer to meet the optimal ventilation frequency as described in international emergency medicine guidelines. This device has been evaluated in some studies and decreases a priori the dispersion of ventilatory parameters such as the frequency of 3036944 2 ventilation and volumes insufflés. However, its use requires a source of oxygen under pressure. In addition, first aid competencies in respiratory physiology and airway management are necessary to adjust the ventilatory parameters according to the clinical condition of the patient.
    [0003] Another known device marketed under the trade name ExhalometerTM of Galemed Corporation is intended to measure the tidal volume, the minute ventilation and the ventilation frequency delivered to the patient. This device measures the amount of air passing through the balloon expiration valve, which can differ significantly from the actual tidal volume. Indeed, many studies have shown a large amount of leaks, between 25 and 40% leakage, during mask ventilation, so that the expired volume passing through the ExhalometerTM is truncated by leaks that occur during insufflation and exhalation between the mask and the patient's face. These two devices do not make it possible to evaluate the effectiveness of the ventilation taking into account the clinical condition of the patient and have no function to reduce hyperventilation or to deliver alert messages to rescuers. There is thus a need for a ventilation system that takes into account the clinical condition of the patient. There is still a need for a ventilation system that can be used by any rescuer and medical or paramedical personnel operating in a health center or outside, without prior in-depth training. Finally, there is a need for a ventilation system that allows rapid correction of poor ventilation. In order to meet all or part of the aforementioned needs, the present invention proposes a device for diagnosing the ventilatory efficacy of a patient placed under respiratory assistance, intended to cooperate with a ventilation system of the patient, the device comprising: bidirectional thermal mass sensor, able to measure in real time the air flow rates upon insufflation and expiration, an electronic box connected to said sensor, configured to receive and process data relating to the air flow rates measured by the sensor.
    [0004] 3036944 3 Thanks to the presence of the bidirectional thermal mass sensor, it is possible to measure the air flow rates at the time of insufflation and expiration by measuring a temperature gradient that is correlated with the quantity of the gaseous fluid passing through it. This sensor does not oppose significant resistance to the airflow, either at inspiration or expiration, and allows a calibration of the measurement as a function of temperature, pressure, and composition. fluid (air, O2, N2) and is not sensitive to gravity or orientation of the device. Unlike the pressure gradient flowmeters used in today's mechanical ventilators, this technology has the advantage of being both more accurate without providing resistance to insufflation or expiratory discomfort for the patient. The sensor is preferably for single use. Alternatively, the sensor may be autoclavable. The use of such a single-use or autoclavable bidirectional thermal mass sensor makes it possible to avoid the use of a filter which constitutes a major impediment to ventilation and the measurement of ventilatory parameters by virtue of its size and its resistance. to the air flows. By "respiratory assistance" or "ventilatory assistance" is meant any type of respiratory assistance, whether partial or total, total respiratory assistance being still called respiratory relief. The diagnostic device may be associated with any ventilator device of a patient for any type of ventilatory need and with any type of invasive or non-invasive interface. Thanks to the invention, there is available a device for diagnosing ventilatory efficiency, compact and lightweight, disposed closer to the patient upstream of the mask or the probe for measuring the patient's respiratory parameters. Its compactness allows for reduced packaging. Its low weight improves its handling and its use. The device preferably comprises a removable connection between the sensor and the electronic box. The connection between the sensor and the electronic box can be easily done, without tools or special know-how, according to an electromechanical connection.
    [0005] As a variant, the connection between the sensor and the electronic box is wireless. The electronic box may comprise: a user interface comprising a display device such as a screen and data acquisition means, a data processing center, a power supply means such as the less a battery.
    [0006] 5 When there is a battery (s), there is no need for an electrical connection to the mains, which makes it possible to use the diagnostic device in any location. The data processing center operates, for example, according to programmed algorithms for acquisition, processing and display of data, analysis of the efficiency of real-time ventilation and alarm management, in particular such as described below. The electronic box may be in the form of a microprocessor, connected by a wired link or not to the bidirectional thermal mass sensor. The user interface and the data processing center and any other component of the electronic box may be located within the same apparatus or be dissociated or remotely from each other or from each other. The diagnostic device may also comprise at least one other sensor, chosen from the following sensors: a pressure sensor, a CO2 concentration sensor in the air. Such sensors may be able to measure pulmonary characteristics and characteristics of the patient's clinical condition, which can then be analyzed by the data center of the electronic unit of the device. When present, the other sensor or sensors can be integrated in the diagnostic device. Alternatively, they may be present in the ventilation system with which the diagnostic device cooperates.
    [0007] The diagnostic device makes it possible to evaluate the actual tidal volume allowing to control and give information relating to the effective quantity of air participating in the gas exchange. It performs a tailor-made, real-time analysis of ventilatory efficacy with respect to the physiological characteristics of the patient. The device provides the rescuer with warning and instruction messages to ensure that adequate ventilation is maintained under all circumstances. The diagnostic device takes into account the physiological characteristics of the patient to give information to the rescuer on the appropriate ventilation frequency, in particular by a light and / or sound signal, and to display the effective tidal volume that must be delivered to the patient. The device for diagnosing ventilatory efficacy of the patient undergoing respiratory assistance makes it possible to adjust in real time ventilatory parameters provided to the patient in accordance with his recommended needs or the evolution of his clinical state. By "physiological characteristics of the patient" or "physiological parameters of the patient" is meant any physical quantity which characterizes the intrinsic properties of the patient both in terms of the mechanical characteristics of the respiratory system, such as pulmonary capacity, pulmonary compliance, resistance pulmonary expiratory time constant, among others, as variables resulting from the interaction between the patient's ventilation and other physiological systems, including the cardiovascular system, such as the concentration of CO2 in exhaled air, saturation arterial oxygen, among others. By "ventilatory parameters" is meant the measured parameters corresponding to the implementation of respiratory assistance to the patient. The invention further relates, in another of its aspects, in combination with the foregoing, a ventilation system for respiratory assistance of a patient, comprising a device for diagnosing the efficiency of ventilation of a patient as defined above, and a ventilation device selected from the group consisting of: a flexible balloon, a self-filling balloon and a mechanical fan. The ventilation system is preferably suitable for use selected from the group consisting of: continuous ventilation of a patient in respiratory distress, respiratory replacement of a patient in apnea, assistance of a patient in spontaneous ventilation and discontinuous ventilation of a patient in cardiac arrest.
    [0008] The ventilation system advantageously comprises a ventilation interface selected from the group consisting of: invasive ventilation on tracheal probe or tracheostomy, non-invasive ventilation on mask. The invention further relates, in another of its aspects, independently or in combination with the foregoing, to a method of ventilating a patient with the aid of a ventilation system in particular as defined above or any other adequate ventilation system, comprising at least one ventilation device, a ventilation interface and one or more air flow, pressure and / or CO2 concentration sensors in the air and a associated microprocessor, characterized in that it comprises the following steps: a) allowing the seizure of physical and / or physiological characteristics of the patient in the electronic box, and / or characteristics relating to the ventilation, in particular relating to the type of ventilation, the type of ventilation device and / or the type of ventilation interface, b) measure the physiological parameters of the patient using the sensor (s), c) analyze the characteristics ticks entered in step a) and the parameters measured in step b), 10 d) deduce, in real time, ideal ventilation parameters for optimal ventilation of said patient, and for each ventilatory parameter, a minimum threshold and or (e) to measure, in real time, the ventilatory parameters of the patient, f) to compare the ventilatory parameters measured at said thresholds, respectively, 15 g) for each ventilatory parameter, in the case of a value of a measured ventilatory parameter greater than a threshold maximum and / or less than a corresponding minimum threshold, generate an alarm and / or information on the parameter (s) to be modified or corrected to achieve optimal ventilation, (h) repeat steps (b) to (g) throughout the duration ventilatory assistance of the patient, especially at each ventilation cycle. Thanks to the method according to the invention, in particular in its steps c) and d), a diagnosis of the physiological characteristics of the patient placed under respiratory assistance can be carried out and real-time adjustment of the ventilatory parameters provided to the patient in accordance with his needs. recommended or the evolution of its clinical state, and an adjustment of the alarm thresholds accordingly. The method consists according to the invention to perform an automated and continuous interpretation of the respiratory curves. An alert message management system alerts the rescuer to deleterious ventilation and indicates the most effective way to recover adequate ventilation. The objective is to detect the parameter 30 having a negative impact on the ventilatory efficiency and to display specific messages to the rescuer in order to find a satisfactory level of efficiency as quickly and as simply as possible. Several problems can occur when the ventilation is insufficient or excessive and the role of this key function is therefore to indicate which of these parameters can be corrected in priority to ensure an effective ventilation. The physical and / or physiological characteristics and parameters of the patient advantageously comprise at least two of the following characteristics or parameters: the patient's size, pulmonary capacity, pulmonary compliance, pulmonary resistance, expiratory time constant, positive airway pressure, end of expiration, its concentration of CO2 in the expired air. The ventilatory parameters comprise, for example, at least two of the following parameters: the volume insufflated, the expired volume, the tidal volume, the volume of leaks, the ventilatory frequency and the insufflation pressure. Moreover, thanks to the invention, the parameters to be modified or corrected to return to an acceptable range of values are determined for the rescuer, thus enabling him to act in real time to, if necessary, modify the parameter or parameters concerned. in the direction indicated. This makes it possible to ensure that the ventilatory parameters are optimal, thereby guaranteeing efficient ventilatory assistance for the patient, without the need for special knowledge on the part of the rescuer. The parameters to be modified or corrections to be made may be transmitted to the user, that is to say the rescuer, through a display device such as a screen and / or a visual indicator and / or sound and / or tactile.
    [0009] The method of ventilating the patient according to the invention makes it possible to take into account the clinical state of the patient in real time as well as its physiological characteristics. This makes it possible to ventilate the patient as best as possible according to his clinical condition, as and when breathing assistance. The ventilation device, the ventilating interface of the patient's ventilation system for carrying out the method may be as defined above. The sensor or sensors may be as defined above. Alternatively, in place of the bidirectional thermal mass sensor, the ventilation system may include any other type of suitable airflow sensor. The microprocessor can be connected wired or not to the (x) sensor (s). The microprocessor may be similar to the electronic box as defined above, being arranged to process the information received from the sensor (s) and the information input by the user, and to deliver information to the latter according to the process.
    [0010] The invention may be better understood on reading the following detailed description of an example of non-limiting implementation thereof, and on examining the appended drawing, in which: FIG. 1 is a diagram of a ventilation system according to the invention, incorporating a device for diagnosing the ventilation efficiency of a patient according to the invention; FIG. 2 is a schematic and partial diagram showing Figure 3 shows, schematically and in isolation, an exemplary display of the display device of the electronic control unit of the diagnostic device of the ventilation efficiency of FIG. FIG. 4 is a diagrammatic representation of the steps of the patient ventilation method according to the invention, and FIGS. 5 to 7, respectively, detail certain steps of the method of the invention. FIG. figure 4. On 1 shows a ventilation system 1 for respiratory assistance of a patient 1 comprising a device 10 for analyzing the ventilatory efficiency of the patient which will be described below. The ventilation system 1 comprises a ventilation device 11, forming in this example a self-filling balloon. It is not beyond the scope of the invention if the ventilation device is different, for example consisting of a mechanical fan or a flexible balloon or other. The ventilation system 1 may be suitable for use such as continuous ventilation of a patient in respiratory distress, respiratory replacement of a patient in apnea, assistance of a patient in spontaneous ventilation or discontinuous ventilation of the patient. a patient in cardiac arrest or other use. The ventilation system 1 further comprises a ventilation interface 12 for connecting the ventilation system 1 to the patient, consisting in the example illustrated in a non-invasive mask ventilation. The mask is intended to be applied to the patient's mouth and nose. It is not beyond the scope of the invention if the ventilation interface 12 is constituted by invasive ventilation on tracheal probe or other supralaryngeal device.
    [0011] The ventilation system 1 further comprises a unidirectional expiration valve 13 placed between the ventilation device 11 and the ventilation interface 12 to direct the air from the ventilation device 11 to the ventilation interface 12 and let the air exhaled by the patient escape into the atmosphere.
    [0012] In this example, the ventilation device 11 is provided with a non-return valve 14 which opens in the open air and which passes in the direction of the atmosphere towards the ventilation device 11. The ventilation system 1 further comprises a unidirectional insufflation valve 15 which supplies air to the patient.
    [0013] The diagnostic device 10, the ventilation device 11, the ventilation interface 12, the exhalation valve 13 and the insufflation valve 15 are connected to each other removably, for example by interlocking as illustrated schematically on the FIG. 1, in a manner known per se. The ventilatory efficiency diagnostic device 10 comprises a bidirectional thermal mass sensor 20 able to measure in real time air flow rates at inflation and expiration and an electronic control unit 21 connected to said sensor 20 by means 22 removable connection for electronic and mechanical connection. The bidirectional thermal mass sensor 20, also called thermal mass flowmeter, can be disposable or autoclavable. It is intended to be connected as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, on one side, between the insufflation valve 15 of the ventilation device 11 and the exhalation valve 13, and on the other side, the Ventilation interface 12. The sensor 20 measures the flow rates and volumes of inspired and exhaled air by measuring the mass heat capacity of the fluid, and by extension the amount of air passing through each ventilation cycle. The control unit 21 is configured to receive and process data relating to the air flow rates measured by the sensor 20. In the example shown, the diagnostic device 10 has no other sensor, but could include others, for example a pressure sensor and / or a CO2 concentration sensor in the air, without departing from the scope of the invention. The electronic unit 21 of the diagnostic device 10 comprises a data processing center, including a computer part or "hardware" and a software part or "software", a user interface comprising a display device and data acquisition means. data or control interface, and electrical supply means such as one or more batteries. The electronic unit 21 makes it possible to ensure the interpretation of the ventilation curves and to display, for the rescuer, the important information related to the efficiency of the ventilation and various warning messages. If the effectiveness of the ventilation is considered inadequate or deleterious to the patient, the diagnostic device 10 makes it possible to identify the main causes of this lack of efficiency and sends specific emergency messages to the rescuer. In this example, as shown in FIG. 1, the electronic box 21 comprises a light-emitting diode 25 or LED for displaying a visual alarm and a reset button 26, as well as a display device 27 shown in FIG. in FIG. 3 allowing the display of different types of alerts and messages as a function of the efficiency analysis carried out by the control unit 21. The control unit 21 can alternatively comprise or consist of a touch pad, a laptop, a smartphone executing a specific application, and provided if necessary a hardware interface with the sensor or sensors and 15 other elements of the system. The exchange of information between the processing center and the one or more sensors and other elements of the system can be effected by wire and / or non-wire way. In the example illustrated in Figure 3, the tidal volume Vt 29, which is the volume of air reaching the lungs at each breath, expressed in ml, is displayed on the display 27 at each breath cycle. In this example, a measured tidal volume Vt of 450 ml can be read. The inspired and expired volumes are also displayed on the screen in the form of a bar graph 28, divided into three parts in this example, forming three color zones 28a, 28b and 28c to respectively indicate whether the volume is insufficient (28a), Effective (28b) or excessive (28c) depending on the physiological characteristics of the patient. The optimal ventilation frequencies determined by the data processing center, are transmitted to the rescuer via a light signal and / or sound and / or tactile to give the appropriate timing. In the example of Figure 3, an alert message 31 indicating that it is necessary to reduce the ventilation frequency appears.
    [0014] In the example of FIG. 3, an alert message 30 indicating "leaks", ie leaks, appears, informing the rescuer that it is necessary to reduce leaks, for example by repositioning the patient's mask. The leaks are detected and calculated by measuring the difference between the blown volume and the exhaled volume at each ventilatory cycle and / or noting a drop in insufflation pressure simultaneously with an increase in flow rates. Finally, again in FIG. 3, a visual indicator 32 makes it possible to display the charge level of the battery or batteries. With this diagnostic device 10, there is, for each ventilation cycle, a feedback provided by the control unit 21 to the rescuer on the value of the main ventilatory parameters and on their compliance with the physical and physiological characteristics and the ILCOR (International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation) recommendations. In fact, the measurement of the insufflated and expired volumes effected by the sensor 20 placed upstream of the ventilation interface 12 makes it possible, after processing by the data processing center of the electronic control unit 21, to estimate and display the tidal volume, i.e., the amount of air actually supplying the patient's lungs, as well as leakage at each ventilation cycle. Flow measurement also allows the detection of the different phases of the ventilation cycle by means of specific triggers (or "triggers"). The latter make it possible in particular to detect the end of the patient's expiration phase in order to avoid hyperventilation of the patient which occurs when the rescuer re-insufflates the patient 20 before the end of the exhalation. When the detection of the end of the expiratory phase is not possible because of expiratory leaks too great, it can be estimated by measuring the expiratory time constant of the patient. Figures 4 to 7 illustrate the steps of the method of ventilating a patient using the ventilation system 1 according to the invention.
    [0015] With reference to FIG. 4, the method of ventilating a patient using the ventilation system 1 comprises a step 1 consisting, for the rescuer, in using the user interface, in particular the input means, for select or indicate a physical and / or physiological characteristic of the patient in the electronic box 21, in particular the size of the patient. The data processing center, which retrieves the characteristic, is then configured to automatically define the patient's lung capacity and the appropriate tidal volume range (Vt), i.e., a minimum threshold and a maximum threshold of current volume.
    [0016] In a step 2, the rescuer may select or indicate a characteristic relating to ventilation, including the type of ventilation, for example between CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation CPR) or ventilation alone. The data processing center then automatically sets the rate filtering level and trigger values for inspiratory and expiratory phase detection. In a step 3, the rescuer can select another characteristic of the ventilation, for example the choice of ventilation mode from invasive or non-invasive ventilation. The data processing center then automatically sets the tolerance range of the leakage volumes, i.e., a maximum leak volume threshold. In a step 4, the main screen of the display 27 turns on and the main program of the data center starts. At each cycle, an analysis is performed. In a step 5, the flow rate is measured using the sensor 20 so as to detect a pause phase 6, an inspiratory phase 7, an expiratory phase 8 and perform a calculation phase 9. Between the pause phases 6 and inspiratory 7, it is indeed a step 6a, consisting of a detection of a positive flow generating the reset of the clock, which can detect that it is in the inspiratory phase. Furthermore, between the inspiratory 7 and expiratory 8 phases, a negative flow is detected in an Ibis step, which makes it possible to say that one is in the expiratory phase. After expiratory phase 8, the flow rate, detected in a step 8a, is zero, which makes it possible to start the calculation phase 9. From the detection of the positive flow rate until the end of the ventilation cycle, the measurement is measured in a step 10, the cycle time (Tcycle) and the ventilatory frequency (Fr). While following the ventilation cycle, and depending on the result obtained during the calculation phase 9, information is displayed and / or alarms are triggered in the form of visual and / or audible and / or tactile indicators, such as this will be explained later. The detail of the method during the inspiratory phase 7 is illustrated in FIG. 5. This inspiratory phase 7 comprises the measurement of the inspiratory time Ti 71. If the inspiratory time T, is greater than a predetermined duration, for example of 4 seconds, a message 72 indicating "no expiration" in English (that is, no expiration) is issued. It should be noted that inspiration usually lasts between 0.5 and 2s. Thus, if no expiration is detected after a predetermined duration greater than 2 seconds, for example greater than 4 seconds after the start of insufflation, the message 72 is displayed. At the same time, the measurement of the flow rate in a step 73 is carried out and the flow rate is integrated with the respiratory time Ti, which makes it possible, in a step 74, to calculate the blown or inspiratory volume V and, in a step 75, to display the inspiratory volume Vi and the rise of the At the same time, the insufflation pressure is measured in a step 76, the maximum pressure Ppeak is measured in a step 77 and, in a step 78, the maximum pressure Ppeak is displayed. made.
    [0017] The process during the expiratory phase 8 is detailed in FIG. 6. During the expiratory phase 8, the expiratory time Te is measured in a step 81. In parallel, the flow rate is measured in a step 82, and the theoretical expiratory time TeTh is calculated. Calculation of TeTh is performed by evaluating the expiratory time constant of the patient which is equal to 5 * R * C, with R: pulmonary resistance and C: 15 pulmonary compliance. TeTh can also be anticipated by exponential regression of the expiratory flow curve. The flow rate is then integrated on the expiratory time Te to deduce the computation of the expiratory volume Ve in a step 84. When in the non-invasive ventilation mode, the progress of the progressive bar graph is carried out in a step 85 over the duration Teth. When in the invasive ventilation mode, the lowering of the bar 28 directly proportional to Ve is performed in a step 86. At the same time, in a step 87, the CO2 concentration is measured and the amount of expired EtCO 2 CO2 is displayed, for example by using a measurement made by an optional sensor placed between the sensor 20 and the interface 12. Such a sensor is, for example, NDIR type example (for "NonDispersive InfraRed", in English, operating by non-dispersive absorption in the infrared), allowing measurement by infrared spectroscopy. Meanwhile, in a step 88, the positive pressure is measured and displayed at the end of exhalation, noted PEEP for "Positive End Expiratory Pressure" in English. Finally, during the calculation phase 9, as detailed in FIG. 7, the volume of leaks Vites is calculated in a step 91 and then the current volume Vt is calculated in a step 92 and a step is displayed in a step 93, the tidal volume Vt. A step 94 is computed in step 304, the pulmonary compliance C according to the formula C = Vt / (Ppeak - PEEP). In a step 95, the pulmonary resistance R is calculated according to the formula R = Te / 5 ° C. The pause time Tp is also measured in a step 96 and, using a measurement of the ventilatory frequency Fr, of the size of the patient, the type of ventilation and the mode of ventilation and the calculations carried out at steps 94 and 95 in particular, the pulmonary model is defined in a step 97 as well as the efficiency thresholds and ventilatory parameters, and analyzes the effectiveness of ventilation. If the volume leakage volume is greater than a predetermined maximum threshold, then, in a step 98, a "leaks" or "leaks" alarm message 30 is displayed. If the leakage volume Vffits is below said maximum threshold predetermined, in a step 99, there is extinction of the alarm message 30. At the same time, if the ventilatory frequency Fr is greater than a predefined maximum threshold, then, in a step 910, an alarm message "ventilatory frequency is displayed" high "or" High Fr ", but if the ventilatory frequency is below the predetermined maximum threshold then in a step 911, the alarm message is extinguished. If the ventilatory frequency Fr is below a predetermined minimum threshold, then, in a step 912, the alarm message "low ventilatory frequency" or "low Fr" is displayed, but if the ventilatory frequency Fr is greater than said predetermined minimum threshold then, in a step 913, there is extinction of the alarm message.
    [0018] At the same time, if the current volume Vt is greater than a predetermined maximum threshold, then, in a step 914, the "high tidal volume" or "High Vt" alarm message is displayed, but if the tidal volume Vt is lower than this predetermined maximum threshold, then, in a step 915, there is extinction of the alarm message. If there is a current volume Vt lower than a predetermined minimum threshold, then, in a step 916, 25 is displayed the alarm message "low tidal volume" or "low Vt". When the tidal volume Vt is greater than a predetermined minimum threshold then, in a step 917, the alarm message is extinguished. In a step 11 illustrated in FIG. 4, the illumination of a green light-emitting diode 25 and the emission of a sound signal are performed when the cycle time is greater than a constant within a range of values. predetermined, for example between 5 and 7 seconds, and that the end of the expiratory phase is detected, or that the cycle time exceeds a predetermined threshold value, for example 15 seconds. This audible and luminous signal makes it possible to indicate to the rescuer the moment favorable to the insufflation. When the blown volume Vi reaches the proper range or the beginning of the expiratory phase is detected, then, in a step 12, the visual indicator such as a red light emitting diode 25 is turned on to warn the rescuer. The appropriate range of the blown volume Vi is determined in steps I and 97. The volume Vi is adequate if the leaks are zero. Otherwise, the correct volume is corrected for leaks. The optimal cycle time is based on the patient's lung characteristics such as pulmonary compliance and resistance. The volume of leaks may also be expressed as a percentage of the blown volume and has a predetermined maximum threshold, for example between about 20% and 40% of the blown volume. The maximum respiratory frequency threshold Fr is for example between 12 and 20 cycles per minute and the minimum ventilation frequency threshold Fr is for example between 8 and 12 cycles per minute. As for the current volume Vt, the predetermined maximum threshold is for example between 500 ml and 700 ml approximately and the predetermined minimum threshold is for example between 300 ml and 500 ml approximately. Thanks to the invention, the rescuer can immediately have information on the volume of leaks, the ventilatory frequency Fr, the tidal volume Vt and very quickly influence the parameter (s) to be corrected, if necessary, to restore optimal ventilation for the patient. The iteration of the process steps with each patient ventilation cycle enables the rescuer to constantly adapt to the evolution of the clinical state of the patient and to modulate the parameters indicated on the display device 27, without having in-depth knowledge of the ventilation system or respiratory physiology.
    [0019] The invention is of course not limited to the example just described. In particular, the system may be adapted for pediatric or neonatal use and the thresholds described above may change accordingly. Value ranges are understood with limits included unless otherwise specified. 30
