DEVICE HAVING MANUAL RESUSCITATION AND SUCTION CAPABILITIES

摘要

Disclosed is a resuscitator including a valve assembly having a check valve arranged within a valve body, the valve body defining a gas passageway therethrough, the valve body including a first inlet, a second inlet and a first outlet, wherein the second inlet and the first outlet are axially aligned, and the first inlet is axially perpendicular to both the second inlet and the first outlet, and wherein the valve is arranged within the valve body between the second inlet and the first outlet in axial alignment with the second inlet and the first outlet; a compressible bag in fluid communication with the first inlet; a suction device removably attached to the second inlet; and an endotracheal tube removably attached to the first outlet. The suction device includes a tube arranged to be advanced through the valve and into the endotracheal tube such that the endotracheal tube can be suctioned without having to detach the endotracheal tube from the valve body.
