Ambu Bag PVC Manual Resuscitator: Essential Emergency Ventilation Device
A PVC Manual Resuscitator, commonly known as an Ambu Bag, is a handheld, life-saving device used to provide positive pressure ventilation to a patient who is not breathing or is breathing inadequately. It is a critical tool for emergency medical services (EMS), hospitals, and first responders, allowing for immediate intervention in cases of respiratory failure, cardiac arrest, or during anesthesia.
Key Features & Benefits:
Instantaneous Ventilation: Provides immediate oxygen to a patient's lungs without the need for electricity, making it indispensable in emergencies and power outages.
Transparent PVC Material: The clear bag body allows for visual monitoring of the patient's exhalation for condensation, helping to confirm correct placement and ventilation.
Patient Valve System: A reliable, non-jamming duckbill valve ensures a one-way flow of air, preventing cross-contamination and re-breathing of exhaled CO2.
Standard 22mm/15mm Ports: Ensures universal compatibility with face masks, endotracheal tubes, and other airway adjuncts for seamless integration into emergency procedures.
Oxygen Inlet & Reservoir: Features a dedicated port for oxygen tubing and includes an oxygen reservoir bag to deliver high concentrations of oxygen (up to 95-100%) to the patient.
Ergonomic Design: The bag is designed for a comfortable and secure grip, reducing hand fatigue during prolonged resuscitation efforts.
Rugged & Durable: Made from high-quality, medical-grade PVC that is robust, latex-free, and designed to perform reliably in demanding conditions.
Easy to Clean & Disassemble: Can be quickly taken apart for thorough cleaning, disinfection, and reassembly, making it suitable for reuse in controlled settings.
How to Use:
Positioning: Tilt the patient's head back to open the airway. Place the mask securely over the patient's nose and mouth, creating a tight seal.
Ventilation: While holding the mask in place with one hand, use your other hand to squeeze the bag firmly and steadily.
Observation: Watch for the patient's chest to rise. Release the bag completely to allow it to re-inflate and for the patient to exhale passively.
Oxygen Connection: For enhanced efficacy, connect the oxygen inlet to an oxygen source (e.g., a wall outlet or tank) at a flow rate of 10-15 liters per minute.
Cycling: Repeat the squeezing motion at the appropriate rate (e.g., every 5-6 seconds for an adult, or more frequently for children/infants)
