A pocket mask, pocket face mask, or CPR mask is a device used to safely deliver rescue breaths during a cardiac arrest or respiratory arrest. The specific term "Pocket Mask" is the trademarked name for the product manufactured by Laerdal Medical AS. It is not to be confused with a bag valve mask (BVM).
A pocket mask, or pocket face mask or CPR mask, is an expired air resuscitation device used to safely deliver rescue breaths during a cardiac arrest or respiratory arrest. It is a small portable device used in the pre-hospital setting to provide emergency ventilation to a patient who is either in respiratory failure or cardiac arrest.
A CPR pocket mask, with carrying case. Most training organisations recommend that in any of the methods involving mouth-to-patient, that a protective barrier is used, to minimise the possibility of cross infection (in either direction). [10] Barriers available include pocket masks and keyring-sized face shields.
Demonstration of pocket mask use. Pocket Masks are used to provide rescue breaths similar to a bag valve mask, but the rescuer is using their own breath instead of a bag. The device consists of a mask attached to a one-way filter valve. The filter valve prevents bodily fluids such as blood vomit from entering the rescuer's mouth.
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is an emergency procedure consisting of chest compressions often combined with artificial ventilation, or mouth to mouth in an effort to manually preserve intact brain function until further measures are taken to restore spontaneous blood circulation and breathing in a person who is in cardiac arrest.
Bag valve mask. Part 1 is the flexible mask to seal over the patients face, part 2 has a filter and valve to prevent backflow into the bag (prevents patient deprivation and bag contamination) and part 3 is the soft bag element which is squeezed to expel air to the patient
The jaw-thrust maneuver is a first aid and medical procedure used to prevent the tongue from obstructing the upper airways.This maneuver and the head-tilt/chin-lift maneuver are two of the main tools of basic airway management, and they are often used in conjunction with other basic airway techniques including bag-valve-mask ventilation.
The ABC system for CPR training was later adopted by the American Heart Association, which promulgated standards for CPR in 1973. As of 2010, the American Heart Association chose to focus CPR on reducing interruptions to compressions, and has changed the order in its guidelines to C irculation, A irway, B reathing (CAB).
