Abstract
A system for supporting pulmonary gas exchange in patients and for coupling to a ventilating system or for use in the case of non-ventilated patients, which has a flexible hose introducible into the trachea of a patient, a pump unit, a reservoir unit and a controller such that via the flexible hose and by means of the pump unit it is possible to regulate aspiration, especially end-expiratory aspiration, and recirculation, especially end-inspiratory recirculation, of the aspirated gas. In order that the system can be operated independently of a ventilating system, the system has a sensor.
