Description
Key Features:
Adult Size: Specifically designed for adult patients, with a typical bag volume of 1500mL and an oxygen reservoir volume of 2900mL.
Disposable: Intended for single use, which helps prevent cross-contamination and eliminates the need for cleaning and sterilization, making it convenient for emergency situations.
Pressure Release Valve: The "4050" model specifically includes a pressure release valve (often set at 40 ± 5 cmH2O). This safety feature helps prevent barotrauma by releasing excess pressure during ventilation, which is particularly important in adult models where it may be optional.
360° Swivel Connector: Allows for flexible positioning of the bag in relation to the patient, facilitating easier use in various scenarios.
Patented Medication Port: Features a port that allows for the administration of medications via an MDI (Metered Dose Inhaler) or syringe directly into the airflow, without interrupting ventilation.
Manometer Port: Provides a connection point for a manometer to monitor airway pressure during ventilation, aiding in safe and effective delivery of breaths.
Integrated PEEP Connection: Designed with an integrated connection for a PEEP (Positive End-Expiratory Pressure) valve, eliminating the need for separate adapters.
Transparent Bag: The bag is transparent, allowing clinicians to visually assess the patient's ventilation and ensure proper function.
Textured Grip and Sensitive Response: The bag often has a positive textured grip for secure handling and is designed for a sensitive response to squeezing, allowing for controlled and effective ventilation.
Compact Carrying Size: The unit can typically be folded into a compact size for easy storage and portability in emergency kits.
Latex-Free: Constructed without natural rubber latex, reducing the risk of allergic reactions.
Complete System: Comes complete with a reservoir bag and oxygen tubing for immediate use with an oxygen source.
Uses:
The BLS 4050 Med-Rescuer BVM Resuscitator is an essential tool in emergency and critical care settings for:
Manual Resuscitation: Providing manual ventilation to patients in respiratory arrest (not breathing) or respiratory failure (inadequate breathing).
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR): A key component of CPR to deliver rescue breaths.
Pre-hospital Emergency Care: Widely used by paramedics, EMTs, and first responders in ambulances and other emergency vehicles.
In-hospital Emergency Care: Found on crash carts, in emergency rooms, intensive care units, and operating rooms for rapid response to respiratory emergencies.
Anesthesia Induction: Can be used to provide preoxygenation or manual ventilation during the induction of anesthesia.
Maintaining Airway Patency: Alongside airway adjuncts (like oral or nasal airways), it helps maintain an open airway for effective ventilation.
