When it is an emergency and cardiopulmonary resuscitation must be performed, then a respirator can come in handy. In order to save lives, you must create free airways and dare to perform ventilations. However, many people may feel afraid of the sick person's bacteria and the like. Therefore, a respirator can make more people dare to perform ventilations and thus save lives.
Respirators are small and easy to store. By always carrying your respirators with you, storing them in your first aid kit or with your defibrillator, you will always have them close at hand. Respirators are disposable and should be replaced between each use. This way, they are always clean and hygienic, while preventing the spread of infection.
A respirator not only protects the person who has suffered a cardiac arrest and needs to receive rescue breaths. It also protects the person performing the rescue. Carrying a respirator with you every day is ideal. You never know when a situation could become an emergency.
With us you will find a variety of respiratory protection. The most important thing is not which type is used, but to choose a type that is always close at hand and thus actually used. Every year around 10,000 cardiac arrests occur in Sweden: http://www.diva-portal.org/smash/get/diva2:1171162/FULLTEXT01.pdf . This means that there are many occasions when respiratory protection should be used for life-saving ventilations.
For example, we have respirators from Laerdal that come packaged individually. There are 50 in a package, so there are plenty of them.
If you want to be sure to always have respiratory protection close at hand, they are also available in the form of key rings. These take up very little space and if they are hung on your key ring you always know where you have them. With a respirator on your key ring you know that you are always ready to save lives in a safe and secure way.
Face shields prevent the victim's lips from touching the rescuer's lips during rescue breaths. This prevents the spread of infection or bacteria. They also prevent bodily fluids from passing from one person to another. What they do not prevent, however, is continued effective rescue breaths.
We also have face masks and visors. This way you protect yourself and others from spreading droplet infection. This way you can prevent yourself from spreading viruses or getting infected yourself.
Our face masks filter out at least 95% of all particles. They are especially excellent if you have a workplace infection or for healthcare workers who come into contact with sick people. They have all the qualifications required to be used in hospitals.
Anyone can suffer a cardiac arrest and need to be saved with compressions and rescue breaths. Having a respirator close at hand protects both the rescuer and the victim. We therefore recommend that you always keep a face mask with your defibrillator. This increases the chance that more people will dare to help with the life-saving rescue breaths.
