The Laerdal Silicone Resuscitator is a self-inflating manual resuscitator that is intended for patients requiring total or intermittent ventilatory support. The Laerdal Silicone Resuscitator provides positive pressure ventilation and allows spontaneous breathing either with a 22 mm ID (inner diameter) face - mask port, through an artificial airway or with a facemask that has a 15 mm OD (outer diameter) connection. The Preterm model is intended for patients below 2,5 kg (5,5 lb), the Paediatric model is intended for patients from 2,5 (5,5 lb) to 25 kg (55 lb), and the Adult model is intended for patients over 25 kg (55 lb).
A hand-operated device designed to provide or assist ventilation in patients who are apnoeic or exhibit inadequate respiration. It typically employs entrained ambient air and includes a large flexible chamber that is hand-ventilated, a gas reservoir, tubing, and a connector for attachment to a mask or endotracheal (ET) tube; oxygen (O2) from an O2 source may also be connected when necessary. It is used by emergency medical services (EMS) in ambulances, intensive care units (ICU), during internal patient transfer, accident and emergency (A&E), mass casualty incidents (MCI), and is generally placed strategically throughout a hospital. This is a reusable device.
