Oxygen Therapy Mask without Tubing - Adult

What is the purpose of a resuscitation mask?
A resuscitation mask is used to provide artificial ventilation during CPR. It creates a seal over the patient's nose and mouth to deliver rescue breaths while minimizing the risk of cross-contamination between the rescuer and the patient.

How do I use a resuscitation mask during an emergency?
Place the resuscitation mask over the patient’s nose and mouth, ensuring a tight seal. Tilt the patient’s head to open the airway, then administer rescue breaths by squeezing the bag or directly breathing into the mask, depending on the type.

How often should resuscitation masks be inspected or replaced?
Resuscitation masks should be regularly inspected for cracks or damage. Clean them after each use to ensure hygiene, and replace any masks that are damaged or past their expiration date to maintain effectiveness and safety during emergencies.
