(Medical-NewsWire.com, August 19, 2015 ) Clearwater, Florida -- "A good CPR mask should protect the user from contact with the victim," says First Aid Shoppe COO, Anna Loehwing. "And part of that is making sure the necessary rescue breathing can also be delivered, with confidence, and with full effect for the person you're trying to save." To protect the rescue breather the company now includes a full function one-way valve on their keychain-sized ResQue1st CPR mask, which is designed to allow a full flow of rescue oxygen to the victim, while protecting the rescue breather from any return flow.
CPR masks are intended to act as a barrier between the victim and the rescue breather, but a full-size CPR mask can be too large to carry or keep on hand easily. To solve that issue smaller masks were made, many small enough to be folded and stored in a small pouch that would fit in the pocket or other small space, thus making it easy to keep on hand at all times. With many of those masks, however, quality was sacrificed. Filters were used to control airflow and protect the rescue breather, but filters are not only less effective at blocking back flow, they interfere with the full flow of the rescue breathing itself.
"This little one-way valve has solved a lot of issues," says Ms. Loehwing. "It allows a full flow of air to the victim, and completely stops any exhaled return flow to protect you as the CPR giver. It's fixed right in the center of the mask, so when you pull out the mask and fold it out you're ready to go."
The ResQue1st CPR mini-mask folds to a 2 inch by 2 inch pouch that can be carried on a key ring. When folded out for use the breathing barrier is semi-transparent with instructions printed clearly on the front face. The semi-transparency allows the rescue breather to monitor patient color and response during CPR.
There are ten (10) of the ResQue1st CPR Mask Key Chain units included in each set, for distribution to others or to keep in a number of different places to have on hand for an eventual CPR emergency. The masks are available on Amazon.
