SmartBag Adult

“The groundbreaking SmartBag offers a simple solution to the problems associated with over-and-under-ventilation during Bag Valve Mask (BVM) resuscitation. By self-adjusting to both the patient and rescuer the SmartBag regulates the pressure and quantity of air delivered. A unique ‘actuating mechanism’ in the neck of the bag responds to the technique of the rescuer and the condition of the patient’s airway (which may be restricted or incompliant) to ensure optimum results with every squeeze. This almost completely eliminates the risks associated with conventional BVM ventilation such as:

Excessive Flow rates generated by squeezing the BVM too hard or fast causing high airway pressure (N.B. A red indicator becomes visible if this happens)
Gastric insufflations caused by gas being diverted into the stomach due to over-compression of the bag
Subsequent vomiting by the patient and aspiration of the stomach contents
Reduced tidal volume delivery (due to partial volume going into the stomach)
Barotrauma
Poor ventilation poor CO2 removal increased respiration alkalosis and poor oxygenation.”
