  • BAG-VALVE RESUSCITATION FOR TREATING OF HYPOTENSION, HEAD TRAUMA, AND CARDIAC ARREST
    Publication number: 20080047555
    Abstract: A device for manipulating intrathoracic pressures comprises a compressible bag structure, and an interface member coupled to the bag structure. A one way forward valve is coupled to the bag structure to permit respiratory gas to flow to the patient when the bag structure is compressed. A one way exit valve is employed to allow respiratory gases to be pulled from the person's airway upon decompression of the bag structure to produce a negative intrathoracic pressure.
    Type: Application
    Filed: September 26, 2007
    Publication date: February 28, 2008
    Applicant: Advanced Circulatory Systems, Inc.
    Inventors: Keith Lurie, Vern Menk, Todd Zielinski, James Biondi
