Advantages Of Using Disposable CPR Pocket Mask

By Anna Harris


First aid is a very important factor to consider on rescuing human life in case of an inferno or cardiac arrest. The disposable CPR pocket mask will help the person administering the resuscitation procedure to achieve the task. There are many other methods of administering cardiac arrest like using the bag valve mask. It is recommended that one uses a single mask to perform the task due advantages described below.

The offering of first aid can help save the lives of others. If you are going to do CPR with mouth to mouth, a barrier device, such as disposable pocket mask is important. It may also impossible to tell whether the rescuer or the victim has a communicable disease or not. Apart from the communicable diseases, patients also can vomit during the rescue operation. Thus it is important to use the disposable mask to avoid contact between the patient and the rescuer. The caregiver must think you their safety first when saving lives.

On the other hand, rescuers prefer a first aid kit which can be carried by only one person. In case of an emergency, the kit will be easily available as it has to be handled by only one person.

The built-in oxygen intake tube allows the administration of more than 50% of oxygen to the patient, unlike the normal atmosphere which only offers 16% of oxygen. This preferably offers an important factor to consider offering treatment or even in case of a cardiac arrest or an accident. This shows that it offers enough oxygen content for the patient which will ease patient recovery.

Another important factor in any first aid kit material to consider is its reusability. Reusability is important in terms of cost and affordability. One would consider getting a reusable device rather than a non-reusable one. Reusable resuscitation kit is much cheaper as you do not need to buy a new material any other time you need to administer resuscitation procedure.

The design is an important factor to consider when choosing the kind of kit to use. This mask is designed in a special way where it fits with the face and therefore very easy to handle on administering the rescue procedure. You must make sure that every kit fits this design.

In special cases where the user needs to first learn the use of a resuscitation kit before trying to use, users prefer the kit which is easy to learn and use. In many occasion one needs to take a long time to learn how to use some of the rescue kits but in the case of using a disposable kit, one is not necessarily supposed to take a long time learning about it as its design is user friendly thus on learning the user is able to easily understand by its look.

It is easy to clean. To clean you will need to discard the valve after single-patient use. Also, the valve may be cleaned and reused, the mask may then be reused only if cleaned. It is however not advisable to use the mask for a long time since they are built to be useful for only a short period. This because due to wear and tear they may not offer sufficient protection to the wearer thus compromising their safety.
