ABSTRACT:
A resuscitator apparatus including a resilient, self-inflating squeeze bag having a single combined inlet/outlet which is preferably removably connected to a first manifold in operative communication with a valve device. The first manifold includes an inlet coupling adapted for connection to a source of pressurized respiratory gas such as oxygen and an outlet coupling adapted for connection to a first end of a tubular connector. The second end of the tubular connector is adapted for connection to an inlet coupling of a second manifold in operative communication with a non-rebreathing valve contained within a tubular, preferably L-shaped housing. The tubular housing includes a first leg connected to the second manifold and a second leg extending substantially perpendicular to the first leg, the second leg being adapted for connection to a subject interface member such as a breathing mask. An oxygen reservoir bag preferably formed of thin, pliable plastic surrounds the tubular connector and is sealingly attached without supplemental fasteners to the first and second manifolds. The oxygen reservoir bag is provided with at least one radially outwardly projecting pocket having an aperture. Upon inflation of the oxygen reservoir bag, the at least one pocket inflates to form a bulbous formation which bulges from the bag while the aperture vents excess oxygen to the atmosphere.
