Hengityslamasta

Hengityslamasta, also known as the breathing bag or Ambu bag, is a medical device used to provide artificial ventilation to patients who are unable to breathe on their own. It is commonly used in emergency medical situations, such as cardiac arrest, drowning, or severe asthma attacks. The device consists of a bag that is inflated and deflated by the user's mouth, creating a pressure difference that forces air into the patient's lungs. The bag is connected to a one-way valve that prevents air from escaping back into the bag during exhalation. Hengityslamasta is a simple and effective tool that can be used by trained individuals to provide immediate life-saving assistance until professional medical help arrives. It is important to note that the use of a hengityslamasta requires proper training and knowledge of basic life support techniques.
