Surgical Instrument Emergency Medical PVC Manual Resuscitator With Reservoir Bag

For cardio-pulmonary resuscitation and general respiratory asphyxia patients needing emergency care.
When the accident occurs, especially difficulty in breathing or the need to improve patient use of supplementary oxygen.

A surgical instrument emergency medical PVC manual resuscitator with a reservoir bag is a device used in emergency medical situations to provide manual ventilation and oxygenation to a non-breathing or inadequately breathing patient.

PVC Manual Resuscitator: The manual resuscitator, also known as an "ambu bag," is typically made of PVC (polyvinyl chloride). It consists of a self-inflating bag with an integrated one-way valve system that allows the healthcare provider to manually squeeze the bag, delivering positive pressure ventilation to the patient's lungs.

Reservoir Bag: The resuscitator includes a reservoir bag, which is a collapsible bag that can hold a larger volume of oxygen or air. The reservoir bag is usually made of PVC as well. It acts as a temporary oxygen reservoir, increasing the concentration of oxygen delivered to the patient during ventilation.

Emergency Use: The manual resuscitator with a reservoir bag is primarily used in emergency situations when a patient is not breathing adequately or has stopped breathing altogether. It provides a means to manually deliver oxygen and positive pressure ventilation until more advanced interventions can be initiated.

Surgical Instrument: While the manual resuscitator is not a surgical instrument in the traditional sense, it is considered an essential tool in emergency medicine and critical care settings. It is used by healthcare professionals, including doctors, nurses, and paramedics, to provide immediate respiratory support to patients in distress.

PVC Material: The use of PVC material in the construction of the manual resuscitator and reservoir bag ensures flexibility, durability, and easy cleaning. PVC is a commonly used material in medical devices due to its favorable properties.

It's crucial to have proper training and expertise in using a manual resuscitator effectively and safely. Healthcare professionals should adhere to established guidelines and protocols for ventilation techniques, including mask placement, ventilation rates, and monitoring patient response.

Regular inspection, cleaning, and maintenance of the manual resuscitator and reservoir bag are essential to ensure their functionality and prevent contamination.

What device is on a resuscitation bag?
A bag valve mask (BVM), sometimes known by the proprietary name Ambu bag or generically as a manual resuscitator or "self-inflating bag", is a hand-held device commonly used to provide positive pressure ventilation to patients who are not breathing or not breathing adequately.

How do you use a portable resuscitator?
To use for resuscitation, the caregiver simply presses the button on the demand valve, to inflate the lungs. When the button is released, the gases are expelled from the lungs through the exhalation (non-rebreathing) valve. For the demand function, the patient simply needs to hold the mask to his mouth and breathe.
