Abstract
A T-piece for controlling ventilation support to a patient includes a t-shaped body having a gas source connection port, an interface connection port, and a positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) control port. A PEEP adjuster cap is connected to the PEEP control port and has a bypass hole to allow gas to exit the T-piece and configured such that when the bypass hole is closed substantially all gas received at the gas source connection port is directed to the patient and when the bypass hole is open at least a portion of the gas received at the gas source connection port exits through the bypass hole to maintain PEEP to the patient. A bypass cover is automatically operated by an actuator circuit to close the bypass hole to enable delivery PIP to the patient and to open the bypass hole to effectuate PEEP delivery to the patient.
