Apparatus for artificial pulmonary ventilation during anaesthesia and resuscitation in which the gaseous transfer occurs by diffusion. The apparatus which is highly reliable, has a long working life, and achieves more active alveolar exchange, includes an on-off valve in a line for supplying air to the lungs. The valve has a valve body, a shutter seat in the body, respective air inlet and outlet ports in the valve body which open into the seat, a shutter sealingly rotatable in the seat under the action of drive means, and at least one duct in the shutter for interconnecting the ports periodically in accordance with the rotation of the shutter.

Apparatus for effecting gaseous transfer by diffusion for artificial pulmonary ventilation during anaesthesia and resuscitation, comprising: a supply line for supplying air to the lungs; an alternately openable and closable valve in said supply line for intermittently stopping and permitting flow of air through said supply line for generating pressure fluctuations in said air; said valve comprising a valve body having two parts rotatably attached to each other about a central axis, a shutter seat defined across said two parts, an inlet port in one of said two body parts open to said shutter seat and connected to said supply line for supplying air to said valve, and an outlet port in the other of said two body parts and open to said shutter seat for releasing air from said valve; a shutter rotatably mounted in said valve body about said central axis and sealingly engaged with said two parts across said shutter seat for closing said inlet and outlet ports; a variable speed electric motor including means for rotating said shutter over said seat; at least one duct in said shutter for intermittently connecting said inlet and outlet ports for permitting flow of air through said valve; and means for adjusting the relative angular positions of said first and second body parts and said inlet and outlet ports about the axis of rotation of said shutter for adjusting the frequency of said fluctuations and the period during which air is permitted to flow through said valve to the lungs.
