CAREvent® ALS - User Manual

3.2. Manual Ventilation and Cardiac Compressions.

The CAREvent® ALS Handheld Resuscitator has a Manually 

Actuated, Automatic Ventilation Override button (Manual Button) 

to assist in the timing of ventilations in conjunction with external 

cardiac compressions.

By using the Manual Button, the operation of the ventilator can 

be easily timed with the chest compressions so as to avoid the 

potential problem of the aspiration of stomach contents due to 

gastric distension which may occur if overlap of chest compression 

and inflation occurs.  (It has been shown in some studies that, 

in patients that are intubated, this overlap of compression and 

inflation may increase cardiac output without the danger of gastric 

distension.) The flowrate provided is equivalent to the setting on 

the automatic setting selector  providing flowrates equivalent to the 

size of patient being ventilated, thereby reducing airway pressures 

and the risk of aspiration of stomach contents still further.

 

1.  If no respiratory effort is observed, position yourself above 

the patient’s head and apply the face mask over the patients 

mouth and nose. The thumb and index fingers are used to 

hold the mask to the face while the remaining three fingers of 

each hand are placed along the angle of the jaw.  A tilt action 

is used to hyperextend the neck and move the jaw forward. 

This helps displace the tongue away from the back of the 

throat and maintains an open airway.

2.  Select the tidal volume/frequency of ventilation for the size 

of patient being resuscitated. Depress the manual button and 

observe the rise of the patient’s chest. Release the button 

when chest rise is adequate.

3.  If the patient’s chest does not rise or gas escapes around 

the mask or the pateint valve(A) (Fig.3) operates, reposition 

the patients head and adjust your hand position to obtain an 

effective mask seal and an open airway.

4.  Monitor the patient’s skin, nailbed and lip colour.
5.  If mask indicates  signs of vomitus, remove immediately and 

clear the airway. Restart ventilation immediately after clearing 

airway.

6.  Continue   ventilation at an appropriate rate until relieved or 

until spontaneous breathing returns.
