Zusammenfassung:The invention belongs to the field of medical sciences and respiratory masks. It is a cardiopulmonary resuscitation device that delivers assisted ventilation via a foot- or compressor-controlled bellows mechanism. This device frees the use of the hand used to compress the conventional self-inflating Airway Mask Bag Unit (AMBU), so that the free hand can be used to fit the mask over the patient's face and reduce the mechanical fatigue generated by the manual compression of current mechanisms. The unit attaches to ventilation masks, can have a frequency meter and is compatible with accessories comprising conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation devices; inside it has a valve that controls the filling of the oxygen reservoir and the time at which oxygen is released to be supplied to the patient.
