FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: group of inventions refers to medicine. A method of using an artificial pulmonary ventilation apparatus having inhalation and exhalation pipes, a controller and a respiratory unit designed to perform multiple cycles of inhalation and exhalation phases provides: multiple respiratory cycles by regulating inspiration and expiration valves. During the inhalation phase, an inhalation valve is relatively open to make gas flow to a patient. The exhalation valve is relatively closed, and gas flows through an endotracheal tube into patient's airway and lungs below patient's vocal chords. During the exhalation phase, the controller is used to activate a talk mode and a silence mode. When the talk mode activated, the inhalation valve is kept relatively closed and the exhalation valve is kept relatively closed to enable the patient to exhale the gases found in the airway and lungs outside of the vocal chords and outside from the mouth that promotes an ability to speak. In the silence mode, the inhalation valve is kept relatively closed thereby limiting the inhaled gas from atmosphere; the exhalation valve is kept relatively open. The pressure inside at least one of the inhalation and exhalation pipes during the exhalation phase is controlled. The controller detects the presence a line break or a blockade. There are disclosed the design and the artificial pulmonary ventilation apparatus.
EFFECT: enabled ability to speak.
