Hand Held Automatic Resuscitator

The rescue of a trapped miner underground has presented new challenges over the last few years. The CAREvent CA (DGMS Approved) Automatic Rescue Resuscitator has been developed to meet these challenges complying with the latest International Guidelines for Resuscitation.

The underground mining environment is considered to be so hazardous that the less the rescuer has to do to ventilate and transport the patient, the quicker the patient can be resuscitated and the greater chance for the patient's survival. All the rescuer has to do is secure the patient's airway, turn on the oxygen or air supply, select the required setting and apply the face mask to the patient's face.

To faciliate this ease-of-use concept the CAREvent CA (DGMS) has "only two controls". The slider setting selector adjusts the tidal volume and ventilation rate simultaneously making the correct setting selection very easy. The CPR (manual override) button inhibits the automatic cycling allowing for chest compressions to be provided in accordance with the current resuscitation guidelines.

The CAREvent CA (DGMS) will provide automatic ventilation to the non-breathing patient at a rate and volume designed to reduce the risk of gastric insufflation. Should the patient start spontaneous breathing, the "Demand Breathing" feature of the CAREvent CA (DGMS) allows the patient to breath on their own.

During spontaneous breathing, the patient's inspiratory effort (if adequate) will also cause the "Automatic Circuit Shut Off" to stop the automatic cycling of the resuscitator allowing the patient to breathe at their own rate and volume. If the patient stops breathing again, the automatic cycling will restart automatically with no action required on the part of the rescuer.

By combining "simplicity of operation" with technological sophistication, the CAREvent CA (DGMS) Provides trained individuals with a safe and effective means of maintaining artificial ventilation during respiratory arrest that may occur during mining operations.
