Abstract
A manually actuated, self-inflating bag valve mask provides users with a positive pressure ventilation device that reliably provides a proper tidal volume to the patient and controls the rate of ventilation of the patient. The bag valve mask is lightweight, compact, durable, and quickly deployable in the field. The device is preferably operable with one hand and can be configured for use in low-light environments.
Claims17
A resuscitator for providing positive pressure ventilation to patients, the resuscitator comprising:
- an upper plate;
- a lower plate hingedly coupled to the upper plate;
- a bellows disposed between the upper plate and the lower plate;
- at least one biasing member configured to cause relative movement between the upper plate and the lower plate;
- a valve assembly comprising an inlet valve and an outlet valve;
- wherein the valve assembly is in fluid communication with an interior chamber defined by the upper plate, the lower plate and the bellows;
- and
- a regulator that is operably associated with the valve assembly, wherein the regulator is operable to adjust an inflation rate of the bellows.
A resuscitator for providing positive pressure ventilation to patients, the resuscitator comprising:
- an upper plate;
- a lower plate hingedly coupled to the upper plate;
- a bellows disposed between the upper plate and the lower plate;
- at least one biasing member configured to cause relative movement between the upper plate and the lower plate;
- a valve assembly comprising an inlet valve and an outlet valve;
- and
- a dial functionally linked to the resuscitator, wherein the dial displays a fill time at which the resuscitator moves from a compressed configuration to an expanded configuration, and wherein the displayed fill time corresponds to a ventilation rate for the patient.
