ABSTRACT:
A breathable, laminated, sanitary barrier is provided for use during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The laminate comprises a sheet of expanded, porous polytetrafluoroethylene bonded to a substrate material. When placed over a patient's nose and mouth, the barrier enables the CPR practitioner to perform his/her mouth-to-mouth rescue attempt with substantially no reduction in air flow and eliminates direct mouth-to-mouth contact while substantially preventing the transfer of aerosols, bacteria, particles and viruses from practitioner to the patient or mannequin, or vice versa.
