CAREvent ALS+ CPAP is intended to provide artificial ventilation for patients during respiratory and cardiac arrest. The single control for the simultaneous adjustment of ventilation frequency and tidal volume has 12 settings for a range of patients from 20 kg body weight to large adults. A separate Manual/Automatic control allows the operator to turn off the automatic cycling and ventilate the patient manually. Patients are protected from over inflation and potential barotraumas by an audible Pressure Relief System. CAREvent ALS+ CPAP also includes an airway Pressure Gauge and pneumatic alarm for Low Pressure Input Pressure. It also allows the breathing patient to “Demand Breathe” on 100% oxygen at their own rate and volume. In addition, CAREvent ALS+ CPAP has an adjustable CPAP/PEEP mode, eliminating the need for an external PEEP valve or CPAP device.
A device designed to provide or assist ventilation in a patient who is apnoeic or exhibits inadequate respiration through automatic pneumatic-driven pressure cycle functions. It is connected to a source of compressed oxygen (O2) and, if not entrained, medical air via oxygen/air terminal units or gas cylinder(s). It typically includes gas supply tubing, a breathing circuit with, e.g., a gas control modulator, gas connector(s), safety valves, and a flex connector to connect to a face mask or endotracheal (ET) tube. It is used in ambulances, intensive care units (ICU), during internal patient transfer, accident and emergency (A&E), and mass casualty incidents (MCI). This is a reusable device.
