Embodiment Construction

[0024] Figure 1-5 is a side end view, a front view, a rear axis side view, a rear end view and a top view of a pressure support system 2 suitable for providing a regimen of respiratory therapy to a patient according to a specific non-limiting embodiment of the present invention . Pressure support system 2 includes pressure generating device 4 , delivery catheter 6 connected to wrist joint 8 , and patient interface device 10 . The pressure generating device 4 is configured to generate an intermittent or continuous flow of positive pressure breathing gas and may include, without limitation, a ventilator, a constant pressure support device (such as a continuous positive airway pressure device or CPAP device), a variable pressure support device ( For example manufactured and distributed by Philips Respironics of Murrysville, Pennsylvania or C-Flex TM device), and automatic pressure regulation support device. Patient circuit 6 is configured to communicate a flow of breathing g...

Abstract

A positive airway pressure support system (2, 7, 130) that includes a pressure generating device (4) structured to produce an intermittent or continuous flow of breathing gas at a selected positive pressure or pressures, and a patient interface device (2, 72, 132) operatively coupled to the pressure generating system and structured to deliver the flow of breathing gas to an airway of a patient. The patient interface device includes a helmet (30) structured to be worn on the head of the patient and a patient interface element (22) coupleable to the top portion (44), the left side portion (82) and / or the right side portion (84) of the helmet in manner which stabilizes the patient interface element relative to the helmet and resists forces applied to the patient interface element when the patient interface device is donned by the patient and the patient moves while in a supine position.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This patent application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119(e) to U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 309,607, filed March 2, 2010, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to a positive pressure ventilatory support system, and more particularly to a patient interface device for communicating a flow of air with a user's airway and related methods of using such a patient interface device, wherein the patient interface device comprises a suitable A helmet-style headgear that supports the mask on the user. Background technique [0004] There are many situations in which it is necessary or desirable to deliver a flow of breathing gas non-invasively to a patient's airway, ie, without intubating the patient or surgically inserting an airway tube into their esophagus. For example, it is known to ventilate a patient using a technique known as non-invas...
