In one embodiment, the invention provides a device for decreasing intracranial or intraocular pressures. The device comprises a housing having an inlet opening and an outlet opening that is adapted to be interfaced with a person's airway. The device further includes a valve system that is operable to regulate respiratory gas flows through the housing and into the person's lungs during spontaneous or artificial inspiration. The valve system assists in lowering intrathoracic pressures during each inspiration to repetitively lower pressures in the venous blood vessels that transport blood out of the head to thereby reduce intracranial or intraocular pressures.
Dans un mode de réalisation, l'invention concerne un dispositif permettant de diminuer des pressions intracrâniennes ou intra-oculaires. Ce dispositif comporte un logement à ouvertures d'entrée et de sortie qui est élaboré pour servir d'interface avec les voies aériennes d'un patient. Ledit dispositif comprend également un système de clapet qui peut fonctionner pour réguler les flux de gaz respiratoires à travers le logement et dans les poumons du patient, au cours d'une inspiration spontanée ou artificielle. Ce système de clapet permet de diminuer les pressions intrathoraciques, pendant chaque inspiration, à des pressions toujours plus basses dans les veines qui acheminent le sang hors de la tête, de manière à réduire les pressions intracrâniennes ou intra-oculaires.
