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. The first manifold includes an outlet coupling adapted for connection to a first end of a tubular connector. The tubular connector is desirably formed as a short, kink-resistant, flexible hinge member. The flexible member is desirably fabricated as a one-piece article and may be formed of any suitable flexible material, with a preferred material being injection molded polyvinyl chloride (PVC). The flexible member includes two socket portions at each end of the flexible member for receiving first and second tubular fluid carrying conduits, a deflection resistant intermediate region and deflection sites possessing lower moments of inertia than that of the intermediate region. The intermediate region is preferably in the form of at least one crush-resistant, radially outwardly projecting flange. One of the sockets may include an annular flap sealing member to enhance sealing of the socket to one of the tubular conduits.
