The system is provided with means for assisting only minimally trained persons to operate it in emergency situations involving respiratory failure and/or cardiac arrhythmias. An integral part of AV of the system is a face mask comprised of two parts—a face attachment unit configured to attach to the patient's face and a mask body that is releasably connected to the face attachment unit by a quick release mechanism allowing quick removal of the mask body from the face attachment unit, leaving only the face attachment unit attached to the patients' face, in order to address urgencies such as vomiting. After vomiting ceases and is cleared, then the mask body may be reattached to continue ventilation. | 10-22-2015 |
