Lightweight resuscitator assembly

Details

Primary Examiner: Recla; Henry J.

Attorney, Agent or Firm: Wagner; John E.

A compact lightweight resuscitator system for use by paramedics and rescue personnel is described. The basic apparatus, including a full cylinder of oxygen, weighs about fourteen pounds. It comprises a single channel aluminum frame on which is fastened an oxygen cylinder, a regulator and low pressure manifold, a demand valve with three sizes of resuscitator masks, a regulated and indicated flow inhalation circuit, a set of airways, and a variable rate aspirator with hose and catheter. Additional accessories, which bring the weight to sixteen pounds, include a humidifier for the inhalation circuit, another line and coupler for attaching a second oxygen cylinder and an IV stand. The resultant system enables all standard procedures to be used by paramedic personnel and rescue technicians but is greatly reduced in size and weight.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION This inventive resuscitator system is based on a single frame member which is strapped along the top of the oxygen cylinder, and projects over and across the valve end.
To this frame is connected all of the ancillary equipment necessary to complete the resuscitator system as enumerated above.
The frame is adapted to operate with a D or E size oxygen cylinder, and has an additional reserve cylinder connector so that uninterrupted service from a sequence of oxygen cylinders can be provided.
A carrying handle is provided with two grips, so that the load can be carried at its center of gravity with either a D or E size cylinder connected.
All of the functional components are bolted directly to the frame which is made of aluminum, as are the brackets and straps.
The handle is plastic.
The system, with a complete set of accessories, weighs sixteen pounds, and is compact enough to be carried by hand, or easily on the stretcher between the patient's legs.
The object of this invention, then, is to provide a complete resuscitation system which is compact and light in weight.
