BREATH SAVE: Safety Valve avoiding derecruitment lung alveolus

The present invention consists in a safety valve for use in patients with respiratory diseases characterized by severe levels of hypoxemia, with artificial airways in mechanical ventilation. In case of programmed or accidental disconnection from the circuit, prevents the "fall" of the Positive End-Expiratory Pressure (PEEP), necessary for the recruitment of alveolar areas for gas (O2; CO2) exchange.
