Gas distribution unit (3, 4, 8, 9, 16, 25) for a
system for ventilation and
oxygenation of a patient (30) comprises in a common unit: - a switching unit (8), - a
breathing gas dosing path (3), - a patient-near connecting element (25), - a gas extraction connection (16) for extracting partial quantities of
breathing gas from the
inhalation gas, - a gas return connection (24) for
inhalation gas and - a purge gas dosing path (4), - a
control unit (9) on, wherein the gas distribution unit (3, 4, 8, 9, 16, 25) designed as a common
structural unit has connections for connection to an
oxygenation system (2), a dosing
system (7), a ventilation system (1) and the patient (30), wherein the patient-near connecting element 25, the reflection unit 18, the gas return connection 24 and the gas extraction connection 16 are designed as a common
structural unit integrated into the patient-near connecting element 25, wherein the switching unit (8) is designed to divide and / or distribute gas quantities enriched with inhalative substances (100) into the respiratory gas dosing path (3) and the purge gas dosing path (4), wherein the switching unit (8) is designed to supply and provide a partial quantity of respiratory gas enriched with the inhalative substances into the
respiratory tract of the patient (30) by means of the respiratory gas dosing path (3) and by means of the patient-
proximate connecting element (25), wherein the switching unit (8) is designed to supply and provide a partial amount of respiratory gas enriched with the inhalable substances to an
oxygenation system (2) by means of the purge gas dosing path (4), wherein the
control unit (9) is designed to control the switching unit (8), wherein the
control unit (9) is designed to control a dosage of inhalative substances.
