Ambu bag: what is it and how to use it?
If a patient experiences a malfunction of breathing, urgent lung ventilation can be performed with a medical instrument such as an Ambu bag. Often this device is called a resuscitation bag, since it is used when there is no necessary medical equipment for ventilation by artificial means. Today in Kiev you can buy Ambu at any time in specialized online stores. The Ambu tool supplies the air with a mask, clutching a bag that is self-filling. The volumes depend on the compression itself, the supply of air from the actions of the medical worker.
Types and characteristics of Ambu
Let us consider in more detail the main characteristics of a medical device:
- Included: medical mask, oxygen and respiratory bags, air duct and transparent tube;
- The reusable model consists of a silicone mask, a breathing and oxygen bag, a polyvinyl chloride tube, a polypropylene air duct and a case;
- The operating temperature is from -18 to +50 degrees;

In the specification of bags is taken into account: the weight of a person; respiratory frequency; pressure without valve; air volumes; inhaling a person; inspiratory / expiratory resistance for each age category; inspiratory pressure during operation; valve with manual shutdown; leakage taking into account age.
Application of Ambu
Ambo bags are used in all medical institutions, and can also be used at home with a doctor's prior consultation. The mechanism of the medical bag is quite simple. The tool includes a silicone mask. On the circumference there are fixed soft cuffs that fit tightly to the patient's face, preventing air leakage through the gap. Since human faces are different, the mask provides versatility and tightness for a different type of face. Ambu bags are usually made of transparent material (high quality plastic), so that during use it is convenient to monitor the resuscitation process and monitor the condensate.
The design of the mask includes a valve and three holes. A breathing tank is connected to the first hole, a second hole is used for the so-called air intake, and the third one is used for air discharge. The valves are used to prevent air from entering the Ambu again. The tubes of the balloon are connected to the tank. Models are supplied with a corrugated tube of transparent material, which is connected to cylinders with oxygen.
In all kits there are necessarily reusable Ambu bags, which are often used in critical medical situations and are in ambulances. Ambu bag is also often used at home if the patient has breathing disorders, besides, everyone can afford the bags. However, it is best to call doctors and entrust the process of restoring breathing to professional workers.
