Pressure regulated airway assist device

An airway assist device, comprising:

• a barrel having a barrel proximal end and a barrel distal end, said barrel distal end having a first barrel distal end opening;
• a plunger slidably disposed within said barrel;
• a face mask having a hollow stem fluidically coupled to said first barrel distal end opening at said barrel distal end, said face mask configured to seal about a mouth and nose of a person;
• and
• a first one-way valve coupled to a second barrel distal end opening at said barrel distal end through which fluid passes into said barrel, said first one-way valve configured to regulate suction pressure within said barrel upon outward draw of said plunger in said barrel toward said barrel proximal end, said first one-way valve opens at a preselected suction pressure relative to atmospheric pressure outside of said barrel.
