Comprehensive Solutions for Emergency Respiratory Support #
In critical situations such as respiratory arrest or airway obstruction due to airway collapse, timely oxygen delivery is essential to sustain life. Positive pressure ventilation, often administered using a manual resuscitator, provides a portable and user-friendly solution that does not require electrical power or complex setup. These devices are suitable for use in a variety of settings, with or without supplemental air tanks.
Manual Resuscitators: Essential for Emergency Ventilation #
Manual resuscitators are hand-held devices designed to deliver positive pressure ventilation to patients. They are a standard component of crash carts and are widely used in emergency rooms and other critical care environments.
Portfolio Overview #
Mechanism and Clinical Impact #
Manual hyperinflation (MH) has been shown to improve alveolar recruitment in patients who are difficult to wean from ventilation. According to research by Suh-Hwa Maa et al. (Chest, Oct 2005), MH performed on patients with atelectasis from ventilation support significantly improved alveolar recruitment.
Types and Material Options #
Manual resuscitators are available in Adult, Child, and Infant sizes, allowing clinicians to better match patient needs and avoid hyperventilation. Two material options are offered:
- Durable: MR-100 Plus™
- Disposable: Dispo-Bag™
Manual Resuscitator TypesAdjustable PEEP Valve #
The Adjustable PEEP Valve is engineered to maintain optimal pressure in the patient’s lungs at the end of the expiratory phase. Its special spring mechanism compensates for tolerance under varying flow rates, ensuring high accuracy and consistency.
- Recommended: Adjustable PEEP valve
Laryngoscope for Orotracheal Intubation #
Orotracheal intubation is often the preferred method for establishing an emergency airway, as the oral route is typically the quickest and easiest. The laryngoscope is the standard tool for visualizing the vocal cords and ensuring proper placement of endotracheal tubes.
- Durable option: Fiber Optic Laryngoscope Set
Airway Management Kits #
Guedel and Berman airways are designed to maintain a patent airway by preventing the tongue from obstructing the posterior pharyngeal wall. These kits are essential for effective airway management in emergency scenarios.
Emergency Breathing System #
For patients requiring ventilation support during emergency rescue, the Emergency Breathing Circuit serves as a vital tool, especially in environments like ambulances equipped with portable mechanical ventilators. This system can be used with or without intubation, and is compatible with tracheostomy tubes or laryngeal mask airways (LMA). Featuring a non-rebreathing valve and PEEP valve, it enhances safety and treatment efficiency.
- Durable option: Emergency Breathing Circuit
CPR Mask #
A CPR mask is a critical device for safely delivering rescue breaths during cardiac or respiratory arrest.
