Abstract
Manually operated resuscitators are used to maintain or restore respiration in an emergency situation; therefore, as a matter of principle, they must funcion independently of external sources of power — especially in disaster situations. Progress can constantly be seen with respect to the function, applicability, construction conditions, practicability, etc., of such equipment; this is certainly in part a result, for example of Nobel’s (5,6) basic suitability criteria for manual resuscitators, as well as a result of test criteria that have been worked out for comparative testing and evaluation of manually operated resuscitator (4) (Table 1).
