2. Resuscitator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resuscitator

   A resuscitator is a device using positive pressure to inflate the lungs of an unconscious person who is not breathing, in order to keep them oxygenated and alive. [citation needed] There are three basic types: a manual version (also known as a bag valve mask) consisting of a mask and a large hand-squeezed plastic bulb using ambient air, or with supplemental oxygen from a high-pressure tank.

3. Demand valve oxygen therapy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demand_Valve_Oxygen_Therapy

   Demand Valve Oxygen Therapy (DVOT) is a way of delivering high flow oxygen therapy using a device that only delivers oxygen when the patient breathes in and shuts off when they breathe out. DVOT is commonly used to treat conditions such as cluster headache , which affects up to four in 1000 people (0.4%), [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] and is a recommended ...

4. Bag valve mask - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bag_valve_mask

   A bag valve mask can be used without being attached to an oxygen tank to provide "room air" (21% oxygen) to the patient. However, manual resuscitator devices also can be connected to a separate bag reservoir, which can be filled with pure oxygen from a compressed oxygen source, thus increasing the amount of oxygen delivered to the patient to ...

5. Flow-restricted, oxygen-powered ventilation device - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow-restricted,_oxygen...

   The main components of flow-restricted, oxygen-powered ventilation devices include An inspiratory pressure safety release valve. A trigger or level positioned to allow both hands to remain on the mask to provide an airtight seal while supporting and tilting the patients head. A peak flow rate of 100% oxygen at up to 40 L/min.

6. Oxygen therapy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_therapy

   Oxygen therapy, also referred to as supplemental oxygen, is the use of oxygen as medical treatment. [1] Supplemental oxygen can also refer to the use of oxygen enriched air at altitude. Acute indications for therapy include hypoxemia (low blood oxygen levels), carbon monoxide toxicity and cluster headache .

7. Escape breathing apparatus - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escape_breathing_apparatus

   Atmosphere-supplying apparatus may be rebreathers with a chemical or compressed gas oxygen supply, positive pressure demand apparatus, or constant flow apparatus using high pressure compressed air. Contamination of the breathing gas may be avoided by relying on a good seal around the user respiratory interface, or by a small positive pressure ...
