History

The resuscitation bag is a tool for manual ventilation of patients with respiratory arrest or insufficient (insufficient) breathing. It consists of a hollow body, which must be compressed for ventilation and a valve with a standardized attachment for the respiratory mask or a tube.

The respiratory bag was developed in 1956 by the company Ambu A / S in collaboration with the Danish anesthesiologist Henning Ruben.

The breathing bag with non-rebreathing valve (and mask) is therefore also commonly referred to as Ruben bag or Ambu bag (also Ambu resuscitator). In contrast to the two-layer, equipped with a foam scaffold, bag of the company Ambu were developed by the manufacturers Laerdal and Kendall also single-layer resuscitator.
Today there are several manufacturers of self-inflating bag resuscitators. Some, like the original Ambu bag, are durable and intended for reuse (after thorough cleaning). Others are inexpensive and intended for a single use.

Initially produced in one size, now BVMs are available in sizes for use with infants, children or adults.
