Abstract
A split passageway resuscitation training device is described. Embodiments of the split passageway resuscitation training device can be implemented with a cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) mask, a CPR valve (with or without a mask), or a CPR resuscitation bag. The split passageway resuscitation training device can allow a simulated rescuer and a simulated victim to use a CPR mask. For instance, the split passageway resuscitation training device can allow the training rescuer to practice exhaling into the mask without the “live” victim having to inhale the rescuer's breaths. The split passageway resuscitation training device also allows the victim to breathe through a different passageway of the device while wearing the mask.
Claims18
A split passageway resuscitation training device comprising:
- a housing having a first portion and a second portion;
- wherein the first portion defines a first passageway extending between an upper first opening and a second opening positioned at an end of a laterally extending snout;
- wherein the second portion comprises at least two legs forming a discontinuous circular shape having an inner diameter and an outer diameter, the at least two legs each having an exterior physical stop extending outwardly past the outer diameter;
- wherein the first portion of the housing is adapted to interface with a source of resuscitation air and the second portion of the housing is adapted to interface with an entrance tube of a cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) mask, such that only when the at least two legs are inserted into the entrance tube of the CPR mask and the exterior physical stops contact the entrance tube, a second passageway is formed between a plurality of side openings formed around the outer diameter between the exterior physical stops and a lower opening within the entrance tube of the CPR mask.
A split passageway resuscitation training device comprising:
- a housing having a first distal portion and a second proximal portion;
- wherein the first distal portion comprises:
- a floor comprising a proximal surface and a distal surface;
- and
- a first passageway extending between an upper first opening at a distal end of the housing and a second opening positioned at an end of a laterally extending snout positioned between the distal end of the housing and the distal surface;
- and
- wherein the second proximal portion comprises:
- a plurality of legs having a distal end and a proximal end and extending proximally from the proximal surface of the first distal portion, the plurality of legs forming a discontinuous circular shape having an inner diameter and an outer diameter;
- and
- a connector extending proximally from the proximal surface of the first distal portion and connecting the distal ends of the plurality of legs within the inner diameter;
- wherein the plurality of legs are configured to engage an opening of an endotracheal tube to form a plurality of side openings between the endotracheal tube and the second proximal portion of the split passageway resuscitation training device.
A split passageway resuscitation training device comprising:
- a housing having a first distal portion and a second proximal portion;
- wherein the first distal portion comprises:
- a floor comprising a proximal surface and a distal surface;
- and
- a first passageway extending between an upper first opening at a distal end of the housing and a second opening positioned at an end of a laterally extending snout positioned between the distal end of the housing and the distal surface;
- and
- wherein the second proximal portion comprises:
- a plurality of legs having a distal end and a proximal end and extending proximally from the proximal surface of the first distal portion, the plurality of legs forming a discontinuous circular shape having an inner diameter and an outer diameter;
- an exterior physical stop extending outwardly from the distal end of each leg past the outer diameter;
- and
- a connector extending proximally from the proximal surface of the first distal portion and connecting the distal ends of the plurality of legs within the inner diameter.
