(Redirected from Partial rebreather mask)
In an atmosphere that may be oxygen-deficient, or toxic, an air supply can be carried on the back.

A breathing apparatus or breathing set is equipment which allows a person to breathe in a hostile environment where breathing would otherwise be impossible, difficult, harmful, or hazardous, or assists a person to breathe. A respirator, medical ventilator, or resuscitator may also be considered to be breathing apparatus. Equipment that supplies or recycles breathing gas other than ambient air in a space used by several people is usually referred to as being part of a life-support system, and a life-support system for one person may include breathing apparatus, when the breathing gas is specifically supplied to the user rather than to the enclosure in which the user is the occupant.

All terms are defined in the context of breathing apparatus, and may have other meanings in other contexts not mentioned here. There are also many terms which are specific to underwater breathing apparatus (UBA) that may be found in the Glossary of underwater diving terminology.

[edit]
air-entrainment mask

See: venturi mask

air-filtering respirator
An air-filtering respirator is a breathing apparatus which removes particulates from the ambient air by passing it through a filter.
air-purifying respirator
An air-purifying respirator is a respirator which uses a filter, cartridge, or canister to remove specific air contaminants by passing ambient air through the air-purifying component.[1] Contaminants may be filtered, adsorbed, or chemically altered by catalysis. No distinction is made based on the mechanism of passing the air through the purifying component – it may be the lungs of the user or a mechanical device.
air supplied respirator
air-supply respirator
atmosphere-supplying respirator
A breathing apparatus that supplies the user with breathing gas from a source independent of the ambient atmosphere, such as supplied-air respirators (SARs) and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).[1]
altitude-compensated constant flow
Supplemental oxygen delivery system that automatically compensates for altitude using a barometric pressure sensor.[2]
ambulatory oxygen equipment
Supplementary oxygen delivery equipment weighing less than 10 pounds, intended for daily use, and designed to be carried by the patient The supply should last from four to six hours at a flow rate of 2 litres per minute. Compare with portable oxygen equipment.[3]

An anaesthetic machine is a medical device used to generate and precisely mix a flow of medical gases and inhalational anaesthetic agents of variable composition for the purpose of inducing and maintaining anaesthesia.[4]
anesthesia mask
anesthetic mask
anesthetic facemask
An anesthesia mask is an orinasal facemask with an inflated cuff seal used to deliver non-invasive ventilation (NIV) of oxygen, entenox and anesthetic gases and vapours. They are usually transparent, with a single port, and may have a detachable hook ring to attach straps.[5][6]

breathing apparatus
breathing set
A breathing apparatus is a set of equipment that facilitates breathing in a hostile environment or for a person unable to adequately breathe unaided.
breathing gas
A breathing gas is a mixture of gaseous chemical elements and compounds used for respiration. Air is the most common and only natural breathing gas, but other mixtures of gases, or pure oxygen, are also used in breathing equipment and enclosed habitats Oxygen is the essential component for any breathing gas, at a partial pressure of between roughly 0.16 and 1.60 bar at the ambient pressure.[8][9][10]
breathing helmet
1.  A breathing helmet is a rigid respiratory user interface covering the head that also provides head protection against impact and penetration.[11] A diving helmet is possibly the most familiar example.
2.  In medical terminology, a breathing helmet is synonymous with a breathing hood, and need not have any rigid protective structure.[12]
breathing hood
A breathing hood is a type of respiratory interface that completely covers the head and neck, and optionally the shoulders or upper torso,[11] with a loose-fitting bag, which may have a neck seal or be relatively close fitting at the neck or shoulders. They are used in escape breathing apparatus of several kinds (escape hoods),[13] and as a route for supplementary oxygen (oxygen hoods). Breathing hoods with full length visors are commonly used with free-flow supplied air respirators for industrial work like in spray painting, boatbuilding, and woodworking workshops.[14] Atmosphere-supply hoods are often free-flow type, with a high enough flow rate to ensure that there is constant outflow at the lower edge to prevent contamination.
breathing mask
A breathing mask is a facepiece that covers the mouth and nose, and optionally other parts of the face or head, to constrain and direct the flow of breathing gas as part of a breathing apparatus.
bubble CPAP
Bubble CPAP is a non-invasive ventilation apparatus for newborns with infant respiratory distress syndrome (IRDS). It is one of the methods by which continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is delivered to a spontaneously breathing newborn to maintain lung volumes during expiration. With this method, blended and humidified air with supplemental oxygen is delivered via short binasal prongs or a nasal mask and pressure in the circuit is maintained by immersing the distal end of the expiratory tubing in water. The depth to which the tubing is immersed underwater limits the pressure generated in the airways of the infant by hydrostatic back-pressure.[15]
built-in breathing system
A built-in breathing system is a source of breathing gas installed in a confined space where an alternative to the ambient gas may be required for medical treatment, emergency use, or to minimise a hazard. They are found in diving chambers,[16] hyperbaric treatment chambers, and submarines.[17]

continuous positive airway pressure mask
continuous positive airway pressure
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is a form of ventilation in which a level of pressure greater than ambient atmospheric pressure is continuously applied to the upper respiratory tract of a person. The application of positive pressure may be intended to prevent upper airway collapse, or to reduce the work of breathing.[18]
counterlung
A counterlung on a rebreather is an airtight bag of strong flexible material that holds the volume of the exhaled gas until it is inhaled again. There may be a single counterlung, or one on each side of the scrubber, which allows a more even flow rate of gas through the scrubber, which can reduce work of breathing and improve scrubber efficiency by a more consistent dwell time.

D

[edit]
dead space
Physiological dead space is the volume of ventilated gas that does not reach parts of the lung in which gas exchange occurs.[19] Breathing apparatus usually add some mechanical dead space to increase the total dead space of the system of breathing apparatus and user.
demand valve
A demand valveis a flow control mechanism that detects a pressure drop on the downstream side and opens the valve to compensate for the pressure drop. In supplied gas breathing apparatus this provides the user with a breath of gas at approximately the pressure set and maintained within the facepiece. When the user stops inhaling, the downstream pressure increases until the demand valve closes to stop the flow. A type of downstream pressure controlled pressure regulator that is relatively insensitive to upstream pressure.
diameter index safety system
DISS
Diameter index safety system is a type of outlet valve that uses one of a set of connections specific to the gas used to prevent delivery of the wrong gas.
diluter-demand
Supplementary oxygen supply system which provides oxygen via a demand valve and dilutes it with ambient air to a suitable concentration.[2]

The endurance is generally no more than adequate for the purpose. Typically self-contained compressed air apparatus with 600 litres free air capacity. Required by amended SOLAS ch.II-2 and the IMO MSC/Circ.849 for all ships on international routes.[24][25]
escape hood

See smoke hood

Escape hoods are emergency breathing apparatus that entirely cover the head and provide a few minutes of autonomy to escape from a dangerous area.The main configurations are the smoke hood, which has a carbon monoxide and particulate filter, and the more general purpose escape hood which has an air purification cartridge that also removes other toxic gases from the ambient air. They are air purifying respiratory protective devices and can only be used if the ambient air contains enough oxygen.[13]
escape breathing apparatus
escape respirator
escape set

negative pressure breathing
1.  (medical) Ventilation in which the surface of the thorax is exposed to pressure below the ambient pressure during inspiration. Used as a method of artificial respiration (iron lung).[45]
2.  (diving) Breathing where the pressure of the breathing gas at the mouth is lower than the ambient pressure at the thorax. This can happen due to hydrostatic effects with back mounted counterlungs or badly adjusted cracking pressure on a demand regulator.
negative pressure ventilator
A negative pressure ventilator (NPV) is a type of mechanical ventilator that stimulates an ill person's breathing by periodically reducing the external air pressure on their body to expand the chest cavity.[46][47][48]
non-invasive ventilation
Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is the use of medical breathing support administered through a face mask, nasal mask, or a helmet. It is termed "non-invasive" because it is delivered without a need for tracheal intubation.[49]
non-rebreather mask
A non-rebreather mask (NRB) is a device used to deliver supplemental oxygen to a spontaneously breathing person. An NRB allows the delivery of relatively high concentrations of oxygen while using a constant flow rate, with relatively low waste, by accumulating the oxygen flow during exhalation in a soft bag, to be inhaled at the start of the next breath, so a bolus of oxygen is taken into the deeper parts of the lungs where much of it reaches the alveoli where gas exchange takes place.

An oxygen concentrator is a device that concentrates the oxygen from a gas supply (typically ambient air) by selectively removing nitrogen to supply an oxygen-enriched product gas stream. They are used industrially, to provide supplemental oxygen at high altitudes, and as medical devices for oxygen therapy.[56]
oxygen conserving device
An oxygen conserving device is a mechanism that makes more efficient use of the available oxygen by a breathing apparatus. Several approaches to this problem have been used, with variable efficiency, complexity, reliability and weight tradeoffs. Often safety and reliability are more important than efficiency, and the overall risk must be considered.

partial rebreather mask
A partial rebreather mask is an orinasal mask used for oxygen therapy for people who are spontaneously breathing. It allows full flow from the reservoir bag during inhalation, but only allows exhaled gas from the anatomical dead space where no gas exchange has occurred to reenter the reservoir bag during exhalation, The rest of the exhaled gas is dumped to the ambient atmosphere. The gas admitted to the reservoir bag is rebreathed on the next inhalation along with fresh gas. It typically delivers 50 to 80% oxygen.[37]

[edit]
rebreather
A rebreather is a closed circuit or semi-closed circuit breathing apparatus that absorbs the carbon dioxide of a user's exhaled breath to permit the recycling of the substantially unused oxygen content, and unused inert content when present, of each breath. Oxygen is added to replenish the amount metabolised by the user. This differs from open-circuit breathing apparatus, where the exhaled gas is discharged directly into the environment. The purpose is to extend the breathing endurance of a limited gas supply, consrve expensive gases, and for underwater use,reducing or eliminating the bubbles produced by an open circuit system. A rebreather is generally understood to be a portable unit carried by the user. The same technology on a vehicle or non-mobile installation is more likely to be referred to as a life-support system.
regulator
A pressure regulator (colloquially regulator), is a valve that controls the pressure of a fluid to a desired value, using negative feedback from the controlled pressure. Regulators are used for gases and liquids, and can be an integral device with a pressure setting, a restrictor and a sensor all in the one body, or consist of a separate pressure sensor, controller and flow valve. Two baasic types may be distinguished: The pressure reduction regulator which mainatains a set pressure on the outlet side, and the back-pressure regulator which maintains a set pressure on the inlet side.[61] [62] .
reservoir cannula
A reservoir cannula is an oxygen conserving supplemental oxygen administration device which accumulates constant flow oxygen in a small reservoir below the nose during exhalation and delivers in a bolus it at the beginning of the next inhalation, which ensures that most of it reaches the parts of the lung in which gas exchange occurs, and little is wasted in dead space.[63]
respirator
1.  A respirator may refer to a breathing apparatus that purifies ambient atmosphere, making it fit to breathe.[64]
2.  See ventilator. Medical breathing apparatus that provides breaths to a person impaired in their ability to breathe.[64]

Respiratory protective equipment (RPE) is a type of personal protective equipment designed to protect the wearer from a variety of airborne hazards in the form of gas, fume, mist, dust or vapour over the long or short term. Respirators filter the ambient air to remove harmful materials and atmosphere supplying breathing apparatus provides clean breathing gas to the user.[65]
resuscitator
A resuscitator is apparatus using positive pressure to inflate the lungs of an unconscious person who is not breathing, in order to keep them oxygenated and alive.[citation needed] There are three basic types: a manual version (also known as a bag valve mask) consisting of a mask and a large hand-squeezed plastic bulb using ambient air, or with supplemental oxygen from a high-pressure tank. The second type is the expired air or breath powered resuscitator. The third type is an oxygen powered resuscitator. These are driven by pressurized gas delivered by a regulator, and can either be automatic or manually controlled.[66]

S

[edit]
scrubber
A carbon dioxide scrubber is equipment that absorbs carbon dioxide from gas passed through it. In breathing apparatus it is a container packed with carbon dioxide absorbent material, mostly strong bases, through which the exhaled gas passes. The absorbent may be granular or in the form of a moulded cartridge.[67] Gas flow through the scrubber may be in one direction in a loop rebreather, or both ways in a pendulum rebreather.
self-contained breathing apparatus
A self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) is a type of atmosphere-supplying respirator in which the breathing gas source is carried by the user.[1]
self-contained self-rescue device
self-contained self-rescuer
A self-contained self-rescue device, SCSR, self-contained self-rescuer, or air pack is a small, lightweight belt or harness-worn portable apparatus for providing breathable gas when the surrounding atmosphere lacks oxygen or is contaminated with toxic gas. There are two forms of SCSR: respirators and rebreather oxygen sources. Compare with escape set and escape respirator
self-contained underwater breathing apparatus
A scuba set is a type of self-contained breathing apparatus intended for use underwater.
semi-closed circuit
A semi-closed circuit rebreather, also sometimes called a gas extender, is a class of self contained breathing apparatus in which a single breathing gas mixture such as nitrox or trimix is injected into the loop at a constant rate to replenish oxygen consumed from the loop by the diver. Excess gas must be constantly vented from the loop in small volumes to make space for fresh, oxygen-rich gas. As oxygen and inert gas are continuously vented, semi-closed circuit is wasteful of both oxygen and inert components, but much less so than open circuit.[68]
simple face mask
A simple face mask (SFM) is a basic disposable mask, made of clear plastic, to provide oxygen therapy for spontaneously breathing patients who need a concentration of supplemental oxygen in the range of 40 to 60%. Simple face masks are low flow delivery systems.[27]
smoke hood
A smoke hood is an airtight bag with a transparent visor worn over the head and sealed at the neck. It has an air filter connected to the outside atmosphere with a mouthpiece to breathe through. Smoke hoods are emergency respirators intended to protect people escaping from fire from the effects of smoke inhalation.[69][70][71]
supplied-air respirator
A supplied-air respirator (SAR) or air-line respirator is a breathing apparatus used in places where the ambient air may not be safe to breathe. It uses an air hose to supply air from outside the danger zone to a facepiece.[72]
synchronised intermittent mandatory ventilation

A venturi mask, also known as an air-entrainment mask, is a medical device to deliver a known oxygen concentration to patients on controlled oxygen therapy.[73][74]
volume control ventilation
A preset tidal volume is delivered at a set rate by mechanical ventilator. Peak pressure can vary from breath to breath depending on lung compliance, and may be limited by an alarm setting.[58]
volume support ventilation
Ventilator support of patient initiated breathing based on a set volume delivery.[58]

W

[edit]
work of breathing
the energy expended to inhale and exhale a breathing gas. It is usually expressed as work per unit volume, for example, joules per litre, or as a work rate (power), such as joules per min or equivalent units, as it is not particularly useful without a reference to volume or time. It can be calculated in terms of the pulmonary pressure multiplied by the change in pulmonary volume, or in terms of the oxygen consumption attributable to breathing.[75]
