Ambu Bag

Ambu bag or generically as a manual resuscitator or resuscitator bag, is a handheld first aid tool used to deliver positive pressure ventilation to any subject who is not breathing or not breathing adequately. When performing CPR with an Ambu bag it is imperative to maintain a good mask seal. An Ambu bag consists of a self-inflating bag, a one-way valve, a mask, and an oxygen reservoir. Ambu bags can also be used to maintain airway patency, for example, in cases of severe asthma attacks or allergic reactions. Oxygen reservoir allows the user to deliver higher concentration of oxygen to the patient.
