6. Oxygen administration
Administer oxygen according to medical indication.
Examples of O
percentages, which can be obtained with different volumes and
2
frequencies, can be seen in . Adult (6.1), Pediatric (6.2), Infant (6.3).
VT: Ventilation volume, f: Frequency
Note: If high ventilation pressures are used, higher O
because part of the stroke volume is vented from the pressure-limiting valve.
For infant version, use of supplementary oxygen without reservoir attached will limit
the oxygen concentration to 60-80% at 15 liters of O
7. Test of function
Resuscitator
Close the pressure-limiting valve with the overwrite cap (This only applies to the ver-
sion with pressure limiting valve) and close the patient connector with the thumb (7.1).
Briskly squeeze the bag. The resuscitator shall offer resistance to the squeeze.
Open the pressure-limiting valve by opening the override cap or by removing the fin-
ger and repeating the procedure. The pressure limiting valve should now be activated
and it should be possible to hear the expiratory flow from the valve.
Squeeze and release the resuscitator a few times to ensure that air is moving through
the valve system and out of the patient valve. (7.2)
Note: As the valve plates are moving during functional test or during ventilation a slight
sound may appear. This does not compromise the functionality of the resuscitator.
Oxygen reservoir bag
Supply a gas flow of 5 l/min to the oxygen bag. Check that the reservoir fills.
If not, check the integrity of the two valve shutters or for a torn reservoir.
Oxygen reservoir tube
Supply a gas flow of 10 l/min to the oxygen tube. Check that the oxygen flows out
at the end of the reservoir tube. If not, check for a blocked oxygen tube.
flow settings are needed

M-Port
Remove the M-Port cap and block the patient connector. Squeeze the bag and
/min.
2
listen for the sound of air being pressed out through the M-Port. (7.3)
