A resuscitator is typically a football shaped squeezable plastic bag/bubble attached to a device that fits over the mouth and nose. You hold the device over the nose and mouth of a person who isn't breathing, squeeze and release the bag to force air into and draw it out of the lungs to breath artificially for the person to keep them alive.

An ambu bag and a silicone resuscitator are similar devices used for manual ventilation during CPR. The ambu bag is a specific brand of resuscitator that may be made of silicone or other materials. Silicone resuscitators are generally more durable and easier to clean compared to other types of resuscitators.

delivers more consistent, reliable pressure with each breath
The resuscitator, specifically the modern version known as the "bag-valve mask" (BVM), was developed in the 1950s by Dr. Forrest M. Bird, an American inventor and aviator. His work in respiratory care led to significant advancements in artificial ventilation techniques. While various forms of resuscitation devices existed prior, Bird's design greatly improved the effectiveness and ease of use in emergency situations.
A T-piece resuscitator is used to provide positive pressure ventilation to infants, particularly in neonatal resuscitation scenarios. It allows for effective delivery of oxygen and helps maintain appropriate airway pressure without the need for a bag-mask device. The design facilitates controlled ventilation, ensuring that the infant receives the necessary breaths while minimizing the risk of over-inflation or barotrauma. Its ease of use and effectiveness make it a valuable tool in emergency and clinical settings.
Yes it will fit rather nicely. Be careful, though, that you first incorporate the high impact jizm load indicator before tightening the rotational chaumfaxing resuscitator. If you remember to do it, changing doors will be a breeze.
During rescue breathing some of the air given by the resuscitator may go down the throat to the patients stomach which causes gastric distention.
The HCPCS code for an ambu bag valve mask is A0456. This code is used for a disposable bag-valve-mask (BVM) resuscitator. It's important to note that specific codes may vary based on the context of use, so always check for the most current coding guidelines.
A bag valve mask (also known as a BVM or Ambu bag) is a hand-held device used to provide positive pressure ventilation to a patient who is not breathing or who is breathing inadequately. The device is a normal part of a resuscitation kit for trained professional, such as ambulance crew. The BVM is frequently used in hospitals, and is an essential part of a crash cart. The device is used extensively in the operating room to ventilate an anaesthetised patient in the minutes before a mechanical ventilator is attached. The device is self-filling with air, although additional oxygen (O2) can be added.Use of the BVM to ventilate a patient is frequently called "bagging" the patient.[1] Bagging is regularly necessary in medical emergencies when the patient's breathing is insufficient (respiratory failure) or has ceased completely (respiratory arrest). The BVM resuscitator is used in order to manually provide mechanical ventilation in preference to mouth-to-mouth resuscitation (either direct or through an adjunct such as a pocket mask).

Yes. There is a hospital in Abuja, Nigeria, called Kelina Medical Centre. It is registered by The Federal Capital Territory Development Authority, and it opened on February 1, 2008. At present, it has 46 staff, 7 full-time doctors including 2 Consultants, and over 15 Visiting Consultants in Surgery, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Paediatrics, Cardiology and Internal Medicine. There are 2 Pharmacists, 13 Nurses and 3 Lab Scientists. All departments of the hospital are open 24 hours. The Laboratory is mostly automated. The Theatre has brand new digital anaesthetic machine, patient monitors, electrosurgical units and piped gas delivery systems. The Labour Room is well equipped with Cardiotocograph machines, baby resuscitator, delivery bed, assisted delivery equipment, disposable delivery packs, oxygen, suction machines. There are 2 scanners, 12-channel ECG machine and multifunctional scopes. The Chief Medical Director is Dr Celsus Ukelina Undie, a Fellow of the West African College of Surgeons and Consultant Urological Surgeon. Dr Nse-Obong Blessing Undie is the Director of Clinical Services. She is a Fellow of both the West African College of Surgeons and the Medical College of Surgeons. The Hospital is located on Plot 123 (No. 116), 3rd Avenue, Gwarinpa, Abuja. This is the main street in this part of the town, where most banks, the Police Station, Government Offices, are located. Kelina Medical Centre is the largest, best-equipped and best-staffed hospital in this part of Abuja stretching from Kubua through Dutse Alhaji, Gwarinpa, Life Camp to Kado Estate.
