MASK RESTRAINING SYSTEM

摘要

A mask restraining system used with a bag mask resuscitator for securely seating a mask on a patient's face is disclosed. The mask restraining system may include a retainer defining upper and lower slots adapted to engage first and second cords, respectively. The bag mask resuscitator may include hollow, flexible tubing having a distal end in communication with a resuscitation bag for forcing air through the flexible tubing and a proximal end in communication with a valve assembly that is rotatably engaged with the mask. The mask includes a port adapted to engage an aperture defined by the retainer in order to engage the mask to the retainer. The first and second cords may be engaged to the upper slots and lower slots, respectively, in order to securely seat the mask on the patient's face when the first and second cords are tightened relative to the retainer.
