Abstract: A portable ventilation system (100) can have a ventilation mask. The ventilation mask includes a mask body (102) having an outer surface (106) and an inner surface (108) configured for engagement with a face of a subject. The mask body (102) defines an inlet opening (110) configured to receive an airflow. The ventilation system (100) further includes a blower assembly (112) positioned in fluid communication with the inlet opening (110) of the mask body (102) to direct the airflow to the inlet opening (110). A breath delivery mechanism (104a-b), that when manually operated, activates the blower assembly (112) and delivers a breath to the subject by increasing a pressure within the ventilation mask.

Abstract: A self-contained, port-closing trocar and method of use which may include an elongated body having a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and a side wall between the first end and the second end, the body further including at least two channels therein, each of the channels originating near the second end, running parallel to the elongated body, and curving towards and forming an opening in the side wall near the first end. The self-closing trocar may also include at least two needles, each disposed within one of the at least two channels, and a handle insertable into the second end of the elongated body, the handle having at least two needle drivers coupled thereto, each needle driver being insertable into one of the at least two channels and engagable with an end of a needle.
