Artificial Resuscitator

Artificial Resuscitator, commonly known as a Bag Valve Mask (BVM) or manual resuscitator, is a hand-held emergency medical device used to provide positive pressure ventilation to individuals who are not breathing or are breathing inadequately. Consisting of a self-inflating bag, a non-rebreathing valve, and a face mask, this device allows trained rescuers to deliver oxygen or ambient air to a patient's lungs manually.

Constructed from medical-grade silicone, PVC, or latex-free materials, the BVM is durable, easy to clean, and designed for repeated use. It often includes an oxygen reservoir, pop-off valve, and standard 15mm/22mm fittings to connect to oxygen sources and airway adjuncts. Available in adult, child, and infant sizes, it ensures appropriate ventilation volumes based on patient age and size.

Essential for lifeguards, emergency responders, swim coaches, and pool safety teams, the Artificial Resuscitator is a critical component of first aid and CPR protocols in aquatic settings—especially in drowning or cardiac arrest scenarios where immediate ventilation can sustain life until advanced medical help arrives.

Regular training in BVM use, along with routine checks for valve integrity, bag elasticity, and mask seal, ensures readiness during emergencies. Compact, portable, and highly effective, the Artificial Resuscitator is a life-saving tool that bridges the gap between basic CPR and advanced airway management in poolside and waterfront emergency response.
