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 substantially unbiased 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 tubular connector is desirably formed as a short, kink-resistant, flexible hinge member. The second end of the tubular connector is adapted for swiveled 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. In the event the oxygen to the first supply manifold should falter, substantially unbiased valve device permits the subject immediate and unrestricted access to atmospheric air.
