Description
– “Boussignac Cardiac Arrest Resuscitation Device” is a non-invasive open-system & has been designed specifically for the treatment of cardiac arrest.
– Works by facilitating Alveoli Ventilation via Continuous Chest Compression (AV-CCC), improving haemodynamics & ventilation.
– With b-card your hands become the ventilator so there is no need for BVM ventilation.
No pause is your cause!
– As a consequence there is no requirement to stop chest compressions.
– Can be used by a first responder via a face mask & Guedel airway, or by a clinical specialist via a supraglottic device or endotracheal tube.
– B-card can be used irrespective of whether chest compressions are performed manually or mechanically (via automated mechanical chest compression device).
– This device works on the principle of a virtual valve generated by the acceleration of a flow of oxygen passing through micro-jets.
– The presence of this virtual valve maintains positive intra-thoracic pressure during the thoracic compression phase of chest compressions, and a negative intra-thoracic pressure during the thoracic decompression phase of chest compressions.
– The intra-thoracic pressure which is obtained allows preserving the Functional Residual Capacity (FRC), to improve gas exchanges and to reduce the risk of rib and sternum damage.
– The variations of the intra-thoracic pressure improve venous return and haemodynamic.
– Designed to work with a flowrate of oxygen of 15 l/min, regardless of the patient size or pre-existing medical conditions.
Can be used from patients weighing 10kg or more
