What Is a Resuscitator?

The simple resuscitator is a simple tool for artificial ventilation. Compare with mouth-to-mouth breathing. Especially when the condition is critical, when it is too late to intubate, a pressurized mask can be used to directly give oxygen, so that the patient can get sufficient oxygen supply and improve the tissue hypoxia state.

Simple resuscitator

The simple resuscitator is a simple tool for artificial ventilation. Compare with mouth-to-mouth breathing. Especially when the condition is critical, when it is too late to intubate, a pressurized mask can be used to directly give oxygen, so that the patient can get sufficient oxygen supply and improve the tissue hypoxia state.

The simple resuscitator has the advantages of simple structure, fast and convenient operation, easy carrying, and good ventilation effect. It is mainly composed of elastic breathing sac, respirator, breathing valve, air bag, mask or tracheal intubation interface and oxygen interface.

Oxygen enters the spherical airbag and airbag, and the front flap is opened by artificially pressing the airbag, and the oxygen is pressed into the mask or tracheal tube that is close to the patient's nose and nose to achieve the purpose of artificial ventilation.

1. Evaluation:

(1) Whether there are indications and indications for using simple respirators, such as acute respiratory failure and respiratory arrest.

(2) Assess whether there are contraindications for using simple respirators, such as active hemoptysis of moderate or above, large amount of pleural effusion, etc.

2. Connect the mask, breathing sac and oxygen, and adjust the oxygen flow rate by 5-10 liters / minute to make the airbag full.

3. Cover the patient's nose and nose with a mask and keep it tight. If a tracheal intubation or tracheotomy patient uses a simple respirator, the sputum should be sucked out first, and the balloon should be inflated before use.

4. Squeeze the breathing sac with both hands: pinch the middle part of the breathing sac with both hands, with the two thumbs facing inward, with four fingers close together or slightly apart, squeeze the breathing sac with both hands evenly, and start the next squeeze after the breathing swell re-expands. Pressure should be squeezed when the patient inhales.

1. The problem that easily occurs when using a simple respirator is that the patient cannot get effective ventilation due to the leakage of the valve, so regular inspection, testing, repair and maintenance are required.

2. When squeezing the breathing sac, the pressure should not be too large. It is advisable to squeeze about 1 / 3-1 / 2 of the breathing sac. It should not be large, small, fast, or slow, so as not to damage the lung tissue and cause breathing. Central disorders affect the recovery of respiratory function.

3. When the patient is found to have spontaneous breathing, it should be assisted according to the breathing movements of the patient, so as not to affect the spontaneous breathing of the patient.

4. Psychological care for awake patients, explain the purpose and significance of applying simple respirators, relieve tension and make them cooperate actively.

5. After using the respirator, remove the respirator from the "o" -type interface, remove the mask, rinse with clean water, and soak it with 500mg / L chlorine-containing disinfectant for 30 minutes, rinse with water, dry, and assemble Good spare.
