The device also works through a simple action, making it possible for it to be inexpensively manufactured and widely disseminated.
Claims25
An emergency pulmonary resuscitation device comprising:
- a means for delivering a flow of air;
- a control system;
- and
- a patient circuit receiving the flow of air, the patient circuit comprising a receptacle for receiving the flow of air having an opening to relieve the pressure in the system;
- wherein the receptacle is applied to a patient in need of emergency pulmonary resuscitation, and the opening is closed for a period of time, causing a breath to be delivered to the patient.
An emergency pulmonary resuscitation device comprising:
- a pump for delivering a flow of air;
- a control system;
- and
- a patient circuit receiving the flow of air, the patient circuit comprising a mask for receiving the flow of air having an opening to relive the pressure in the system;
- wherein the mask is applied to a patient in need of emergency pulmonary resuscitation, and the opening is closed for a period of time, causing a breath to be delivered to the patient.
An emergency pulmonary resuscitation device comprising:
- a compressible bag;
- an activator for compressing the compressible bag;
- a control system;
- a patient circuit receiving the flow of air, the patient circuit comprising a mask for receiving the flow of air having an opening to relive the pressure in the system;
- and
- a switch operatively coupled to the activator located on the outside of the opening so that when the opening is closed, the switch is depressed;
- wherein the mask is applied to a patient in need of emergency pulmonary resuscitation, and the opening is closed for a period of time, depressing the switch and causing the activator to compress the compressible bag, causing air to flow to the system and a breath to be delivered to the patient.
