Medical pressure measuring device and breathing apparatus
Abstract:
A medical device measures a pressure of a pressurized breathing gas and includes a pressure sensor arranged at a point of measurement and measures the pressure of a sample gas at a sampling point. The sampling point and the point of measurement are connected by a pressure sampling tube in which a pressure wave of the sample gas can propagate from the sampling point to the point of measurement. The tube has a sampling tube volume and an acoustic impedance. The device further includes a damping arrangement fluidly communicating with the tube. The damping arrangement includes a flow restrictor and a receptor chamber arrangement. The receptor arrangement includes a receptor chamber which receives the pressure wave. The restrictor correlates to the acoustic impedance to prevent acoustic resonance in the tube. The receptor chamber correlates at least to the tube volume to prevent acoustic resonance in the tube.
