SMART BAG® MO “Improving Ventilation One Breath at a Time”
The SMART BAG® MO has been designed to allow the provision
of consistent ventilations while almost completely eliminating
the risks associated with conventional BVM ventilation.
The unique actuating mechanism hidden inside the neck bushing
of the SMART BAG® MO actually responds to the rescuer
and the patient.
By responding to the rescuer’s squeeze and release
of the BVM, the SMART BAG® MO limits the excessive flow
of gas into the patient’s airway, significantly reducing
the risk of gastric insufflation by effectively lowering
the airway pressure generated. In a normally compliant
and resistant airway, the airway pressure is limited to
below the esophageal sphincter opening pressure of 19 cm
H2O.
The
response by the SMART BAG® MO is proportional to
the rescuers squeeze. The harder the squeeze, the greater
the greater the restriction to flow. This alerts the rescuer
to ease up on the squeeze, reducing the effort required,
resulting in the airway pressure being kept to the minimum
to achieve adequate ventilation. At no time is the flow
of gas into the patient compromised by the SMART BAG® MO,
allowing the rescuer to ventilate even the stiffest lung
or most restrictive airway.
To assist the rescuer a visual
warning of incorrect ventilation technique of the SMART BAG® MO is provided. If the SMART BAG® MO is squeezed too hard, the SMART BAG® MO responds
by closing the valve to lower the Flowrate. Should this
occur, the “red pressure actuating indicator” moves
to the forward position in the neck of the patient valve
producing a visual warning of improper technique.
If the
patients airway is less compliant or more restrictive (as
in patients with COPD or asthma), higher airway pressures
will be required to provide adequate ventilation. In responding
to this increased pressure required in the patient’s
airway, the SMART BAG® MO decreases the resistance to
flow from the BVM, balancing the pressure on either side
of the valve. This allows the required pressure to be exerted
by the rescuer on the patient’s airway to overcome
the resistance / compliancy problem and provide adequate
ventilations.
The SMART BAG® MO is equipped with a Manual Override control to
disable the action of the SMART Valve. Current research indicates that,
for all
patient conditions, the Manual Override control should NOT be
used and the "SMART VALVE" should be left in the "Enabled" position.
This recommendation
maintains operation of the device in strict compliance with the
current Guidelines for CPR and ECC as published by the American Heart
Association and European
Resuscitation Council.
NOTE: To ensure correct operation of the manual override, do not switch into the disabled mode while squeezing the bag.
