Resuscitation Equipment NZ assists in the resuscitation of people who have suffered a sudden cardiac arrest or an unexpected medical emergency. The aim is to save lives. The ANZCOR guidelines provide those involved in resuscitation education and practice with recommendations based on scientific evidence. These guidelines should be followed at all times.
Resuscitation Masks
Resuscitation Courses NZ carries a wide range of first aid products to suit your needs. This includes the more practical items such as first aid kits, emergency response tees and safety footwear, to the more novelty items such as resuscitation masks and medical oxygen systems.
One of the most important parts of any first aid kit is the resuscitation mask, so it is important to have the right one for the job. These masks are available in a variety of styles, colours and sizes. A variety of materials are used to create the masks, including neoprene, plastic and velour, with varying thicknesses for different uses.
The most important function of a resuscitation mask is to provide a protective barrier from airborne contaminants such as dirt, dust and germs. In addition, the mask is also designed to wick away any moisture that may be on the face of the patient, helping to prevent infections.
There are many types of resuscitation masks on the market, but some of the most effective have been designed to meet specific clinical needs and requirements. The best way to ensure you have the appropriate resuscitation mask for your needs is to check the specifications and to ask questions of a trained staff member.
Oxygen Resuscitation Kits
In life threatening crises, oxygen is a critical ingredient for fast first aid and good heart stabilization. It helps to improve hypoxia, prevent brain damage and give a quick boost to overcome shock or other life threatening injuries.
Resuscitation Equipment NZ has a wide range of resuscitation kits and oxygen resuscitation supplies to support both medical professionals and patients in need during emergency situations. Having an appropriate oxygen and resuscitation kit on hand can be the difference between life and death, so ensuring you have it in a place where it is accessible to those who need it most is essential for the safety of both you and your patient.
Designed by medical and maritime experts, MedAire resuscitation and oxygen kits are easy to find and use, and help you administer assistance accurately. Electronic inventory management means you never run out of vital items and are alerted of expiration dates and stock replenishment needs.A high flow oxygen resuscitation kit in a handy carry bag, ideal for CPR and other oxygen therapy indications. Complete with oxygen cylinder capacity of 210 liters, oxygen regulator 0-6 lpm fixed flow, and disposable adult manual resuscitator.
Oxygen resuscitation kits are an essential part of any health care provider’s kit and are particularly useful for medical facilities such as aged care centres, dental centers, and doctors, as well as for lifeguards and surf lifesavers in the community. They can also be a useful addition to veterinary practices and sports organisations where someone may need to perform resuscitation or provide respiratory aid.
These kits are available in a variety of sizes, from small to large and are suitable for different situations. The smaller sizes are perfect for transporting in your car, while the larger ones can be a great addition to a resuscitation room or medical office.
The LIFE LINE(tm) resuscitation kit from BOC Healthcare is designed to make a vital contribution to the treatment of conscious patients prior to the arrival of the emergency services. It provides up to 15 litres per minute of oxygen, which can help prevent casualty deterioration and allows them to receive up to half an hour of treatment before professional assistance is necessary. It is supplied with an optional wall mount, ideal for display at the emergency point of your premises.
Wall Mount Brackets
While a wall mounted defibrillator may not be in the cards for your office tower of trinity, there is no shortage of AEDs gracing the hospital floor. Fortunately, the hospital has an active AED program in place that is backed by a laudable staff of medical professionals, many of whom are well versed in the art of AED management and deployment. Keeping an AED in good condition is a top notch affair, as is ensuring that the patient has a happy and healthy outcome. The best way to do this is to make sure your AED is in a location where it can be easily accessed at the touch of a button and that there are a sufficient number of trained personnel on hand to provide resuscitation when needed.
Resuscitation Bags
During the initial phase of CPR, rescuers may use an Ambu-style bag valve mask (BVM) to provide ventilation on an oxygen-dependent patient. The BVM works by compressing air into the lungs using positive pressure. However, it’s important to know that bag-mask ventilation requires skill and expertise.
Performing bag-mask ventilation should be performed only by trained medical personnel, such as nurses, EMTs and paramedics. Misuse of a BVM can result in serious complications, including respiratory arrest or death.
Ambu bags can be used to manually ventilate a patient with spontaneous respirations, but they should only be squeezed at low rates and in short intervals. Squeezing the bag too quickly can cause dynamic hyperinflation, which worsens hemodynamic instability.
When using an Ambu bag, use heart rate and chest wall movement to guide your squeezing. For example, if the heart rate is less than 100 per minute or decreasing, you should squeeze the bag a little harder; if it’s over 100, then you should gently squeeze the bag. In most cases, the Ambu bag should be squeezed 10-12 times per minute on an adult. In addition, you should check to see that the bag seals properly and the patient’s chest rises with each squeeze.
Manual resuscitators require an individual to intermittently compress and decompress a handheld bag that is connected to a face mask. These devices come in two sizes: adult and pediatric.
Some manual resuscitators allow the delivery of supplemental oxygen through the patient’s outlet. This is a common technique for spontaneously breathing patients, but it is much more difficult to control than with an oxygen-filled self-inflating bag.
A study of 11 resuscitators shows that, at 90 s, most models achieved an average FDO2 (Fundamental Decline in Oxygenation) of 97 % or greater. This indicates that they can deliver a physician-prescribed inflation volume reliably within safety guidelines.
When a rescuer is alone, they should begin with chest compressions followed by two breaths. Afterward, when another person arrives, the rescuer should then use a hand-held resuscitation bag to administer the next breaths.
