Resuscitation system

A resuscitation system comprising a device or kit adapted for connection to a gas outlet of a resuscitation bag with a first gas inlet thereto and upstream of a face mask, the device or kit providing gas flow in a path from the bag to the mask, comprising:

• a check valve operably connected to the gas outlet of the resuscitation bag and substantially blocking gas flow upstream and allowing gas flow downstream thereof;
• a first safety release valve operably located downstream of the resuscitation bag and operable to release gas from the gas flow path at a first predetermined pressure differential between the path and ambient;
• and
• a second gas inlet;
• and
• wherein the first safety release valve is located upstream of the check valve;
• and
• wherein the second gas inlet is located downstream of the check valve.

A resuscitation system comprising a device or kit adapted for connection to a gas outlet of a resuscitation bag with a first gas inlet thereto and upstream of a face mask, the device or kit providing gas flow in a path from the bag to the mask, comprising:

• a valve housing adapted for connection to a gas outlet of a resuscitation bag;
• a check valve located within the valve housing and substantially blocking gas flow upstream and allowing gas flow downstream thereof;
• a first safety release valve connected to the valve housing and located downstream of the resuscitation bag and operable to release gas from the gas flow path at a first predetermined pressure differential between the path and ambient;
• and
• wherein the first safety release valve is located upstream of the check valve.
