The Oxylator from Primedic is a combination between a bag-valve mask and a portable ventilator. Designed to be operated by either lay rescuers or EMS personnel, it is powered only by an oxygen cylinder, with no electricity required. This device basically acts as a pressure-controlled ventilator, leaving EMS personnel with free hands to take care of other life-savings tasks.
The Oxylator is affixed either to a facemask or a more invasive airway device such as an LMA or endotracheal tube, and with the touch of a button, it begins delivering a preset pressure in the range of 20-45 cm H2O. In addition, there is an audio-visual alarm that alerts to increased pressures that can occur if more head-tilt/chin-lift is needed in the case of mask ventilation or if the tube slips into the right mainstem.
