  • Resuscitator
    Patent number: 5944013
    Abstract: A manual resuscitator controls the portion of gas delivered from the ventilation bag to the patient responsive to which of a plurality of masks the ventilation bag is connected. Different sized masks deliver different portions of the gas from the ventilation bag as would be appropriate for a patient of a size associated with the mask.
