(Medical-NewsWire.com, September 17, 2015 ) Clearwater, Florida -- Anna Loehwing, COO of First Aid Shoppe, distributors of advanced first aid and survival gear, reports that the fold-out breathing barrier (face shield) has been shown to act as an effective safeguard against the transmission of harmful bacteria when performing CPR. Contact with the victim is one of the chief dangers when administering rescue breathing. CPR masks are designed to minimize or eliminate this contact.
"Our small, pocket sized mask solves two problems," says Ms. Loehwing. "The first, and probably the most critical, is having a CPR mask handy at all. Most breathing barriers are simply too bulky, and having one on hand or even nearby is often a problem. These masks are so small, you clip one of the little pouches to your key ring and you're done. Forget about it until you need it, and when you do it's right there."
The ResQue1st CPR Mask Key Chain by First Aid Shoppe is stowed in a small, nylon pouch, which is about the size of an average key fob. The pouch has an attached key ring so it can be clipped to an existing key chain.
"The second problem we solve is contact," says Ms. Loehwing. "The mask is a semi-clear barrier that goes right over the victim's mouth. In the center is a one-way breathing valve which controls airflow, making sure your air goes in, and anything they spit up doesn't come out."
Operating instructions for the mask are printed on the outward facing side, and the semi-transparency allows the rescue breather to monitor the color and condition of the victim, while avoiding direct contact. The one-way valve is a full-function valve, not a simple filter, which ensures the proper flow of air during administration of rescue breathing. The ResQue1st CPR Mask Key Chain is available on packs of ten (10) on Amazon.
