An emergency medical kit for use, particularly by a non-professional, to render emergency medical treatment to a patient, includes: a housing, a pressurized-oxygen container within the housing; a face mask within the housing and removable therefrom for application to the face of a patient requiring cardiopulmonary resuscitation; and a respiratory pump within the housing connected to the pressurized-oxygen container so as to be driven thereby to supply oxygen to the mask for inhalation by the patient, and to discharge the exhalations of the patient via the face mask to the atmosphere. The face mask includes a flexible seal around its circumference engageable with the face of the patient receiving the mask for sealing the interior of the mask. The flexible seal includes a deformable fluid chamber, preferably one along each of its sides; a pressure sensor sensing the pressure in each chamber; and an indicator for indicating, according to the sensed pressure, whether the face mask is properly applied to the face of the patient. |
