CPRmaski

CPRmaski refers to a specific type of breathing barrier device used during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). These devices are designed to create a barrier between the rescuer and the victim's mouth or nose, preventing direct contact and reducing the risk of disease transmission. CPRmaski typically consist of a one-way valve and a flexible barrier that covers the victim's face. The valve allows air to pass from the rescuer to the victim but prevents bodily fluids from entering the rescuer's mouth. They are often made of plastic or silicone and are designed for single use. CPRmaski are considered an important piece of personal protective equipment for anyone performing rescue breaths. Their use is recommended by many emergency medical organizations to ensure rescuer safety while still allowing for effective ventilation during CPR. The primary purpose is to facilitate mouth-to-mouth resuscitation while minimizing the risk of infection. Different designs may exist, but the core function remains the same: to provide a safe and hygienic method for delivering rescue breaths. Their portability and ease of use make them suitable for inclusion in first-aid kits and emergency preparedness supplies.
