Abstract
- A self-inflating bag resuscitator is universally used to ventilate patients during cardiopulmonary resuscitation and transfer. This device can be reused after sterilization and reassembly, and the mis-assembly of a resuscitator can possibly happen. We report here on a case of mis-assembly of a resuscitator valve that resulted to barotrauma and instability of a patient.
