Merge from Ambu bag

Since an Ambu bag is a type of BVM, I can't see why it should have its own article. Ambu bag is currently a stub. I'd suggest turning the Ambu bag article into a section in this article and removing the redundant material. Any thoughts? If there are no objections I'll go ahead and do the merge in like a week. Thanks, delldot on a public computer talk 18:51, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support - Absolutely, there is no good reason for these to be separate articles - i'll add Ambu bag to the list of pseudonyms at the beginning of the BVM article. Owain.davies 21:44, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Done. What do you think? delldot on a public computer talk 01:56, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Clarify types of "self inflating" bags

There are two main types of bags that can inflate: (1) true self-inflating bags are made of a stiff rubber and fill because after being compressed and released the elasticity of the bag returns it to the original shape, refilling it (e.g. Mercury valve). This is like what is pictured in red in the first image. These bags also have 1-way valves so that the patient is exhaling to atmosphere rather than the system (2) Flow Inflating bags are made of a softer material and fill because of a bias flow of O2 in the range of 15 L/min. This system is two way and the patient breathes back into the system against the flow or with a small pop-off valve.

This distinction is important because there is much debate in the field of respiratory care over which method is better.

Excellent suggestion! Do you have a source for it? I'd gladly add it, but you might want to yourself. We could pretty much put what you just wrote, with a few minor tweaks, as long as we can find a reference for it. Thanks for the idea. delldot on a public computer talk 10:12, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

where did you get the stat that the air bag increases perfusion to 80 percent —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.131.195.110 (talk) 16:10, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Anesthesia Bag?

Would the Gas-inflating Bag (AKA Anesthesia Bag) fit under this article, or does it need a seperate article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.159.65.123 (talk) 16:35, 16 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Automation

Team of MIT students developed a project for automatically actuating a manual resuscitator in 2010. It did not move past the prototype stage. In 2019 the concept was re-visited by two student teams (Rice U and Umbulizer). In 2020 (?) MIT launched an emergency research project and also they open sourced the design. So it's an emergency use open souce ventilator and resuscitator. [1] Setenzatsu.2 (talk) 18:39, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
