Description
Silicone Resuscitator (LSR) enables medical personnel to facilitate assisted ventilation of patients in pre-hospital, in-hospital and post-hospital care. The LSR comes in adult, pediatric and preterm sizes.
The Laerdal Silicone Resuscitator consists of 5 main parts. A see through silicone mask, with a multi-function mask cover enables the user to see lip color, secretion, vomit and fogging caused by exhalations during ventilation.
The one-way patient valve allows air to flow to the patient, without air from the patient reentering the ventilation bag. The swivel connector allows for more flexibility and enables the provider to ventilate in various positions.
The Laerdal Silicone Resuscitator comes in the following sizes:
- Adult size for patients over 20 kgs
- Pediatric size for patients between 2,5 and 20 kgs
- Preterm size for patients that weigh less than 2,5 kgs
The Pediatric and Preterm LSRs also include a ”Pop Off” valve to prevent airway pressures from exceeding 35 cm H2O, and keep lungs from over inflating.
When higher pressure is necessary the pressure relief valve can be closed by pushing down the valve stem, or using a lock clip.
