Key benefits of the Ambu Mark IV adult resuscitator

Reusable resuscitation bags save money and protect the environment: the Ambu Mark IV resuscitation bag for adults can be disinfected and sterilised. This is particularly advantageous for rescue workers, emergency doctors and medical facilities that have to ventilate frequently and have an autoclave (steam sterilisation device), saving you money and reducing the amount of environmentally harmful waste. The double chamber principle protects the patient from excessive ventilation pressure: Excessive ventilation pressure can lead to overstretching of the lung parenchyma and lung damage. Has a connection for demand valve and inlet valve as well as PEEP valve connection with pressure relief valve: The demand valve is a professional replacement for the oxygen reservoir. It makes it possible to save oxygen with a 100 % oxygen supply. The PEEP valve ensures that the pressure in the lungs remains at the desired level and does not drop to the pressure level in the environment.

Overview of the Ambu Mark IV resuscitator

The Ambu Mark IV resuscitator, also known as a manual resuscitator, is a medical device used in emergency medicine and anaesthesia. It is designed to ventilate patients when they are no longer able to breathe themselves or their breathing is insufficient. The resuscitation bag consists of a flexible rubber bladder connected to a valve and a breathing tube. By squeezing the rubber bladder, air is pumped into the patient's lungs, enabling artificial respiration. The Ambu Mark IV resuscitator is characterised by its user-friendly handling, high quality and reliability. It is easy to clean and can be reused, making it particularly cost-effective. It is also available in different sizes to meet the individual needs of patients. Due to its compact and lightweight design, the Ambu Mark IV resuscitator is also well suited for use in difficult conditions, making it an indispensable tool in emergency medicine and anaesthesia.

History of Ambu

History of Ambu: Ambu is a medical technology company that was originally founded in Denmark in 1937. It was founded by the Danish engineer Jan V. Larsen, who specialised in the development of medical devices.

A significant Ambu product in the company's history is the Ambu Mark IV Baby Resuscitator. This special infant resuscitator was developed to support the breathing of newborn babies.

The special feature of the Ambu Mark IV Baby resuscitator is the double chamber principle. It consists of two chambers that allow both oxygenated air to enter the baby's lungs and carbon dioxide to be expelled. This ensures effective ventilation.

Another important feature of this resuscitator is the integrated pressure limiter. This mechanism ensures that the ventilation pressure does not become too high so as not to damage the baby's fragile lung tissue.

Ambu's historical background

Ambu's historical background dates back to 1937, when Danish engineer Dr Holger Hesse developed the world's first disposable resuscitation bag. This bag became known as the "Ambu bag" and revolutionised medical ventilation technology. Before the introduction of the disposable bag, ventilators consisted of heavy metal boxes, which made them difficult to transport and handle.

Over the following decades, Ambu continued to develop the reusable bag to meet the needs of the medical industry. An important milestone was the introduction of the Ambu Mark IV resuscitator in 1956. The Mark IV was characterised by its double-chamber principle, in which the respiratory gases were contained in one chamber and the air flowed out into a separate chamber. This enabled efficient ventilation with controlled breathing volumes and pressures.

Another important feature of the Ambu Mark IV resuscitator was the single-membrane patient valve, which enabled safe and controlled gas exchange. The valve opened only when the bag was squeezed and closed automatically when the bag was released. This function ensured effective ventilation and protected the patient from over-expansion of the lungs.

The Ambu Mark IV resuscitator was autoclavable, meaning that it could be sterilised at high temperatures. It also had a port for the demand valve to customise ventilation to the patient's individual needs and a port for the PEEP valve to maintain positive end-expiratory pressure and improve oxygen uptake.

Overall, the continuous development of the Ambu Mark IV ventilator bag has improved medical care worldwide and contributed to the reduction of ventilation complications. Ambu's innovations have paved the way for more advanced ventilators and made it easier to treat patients.
