I ahve used btoth the "Seal Easy" type face mask, and Laerdal type
pocket Mask for resuscitaction.
The Seal Easy is a an example of a high volume, low pressure,
cuffed mask. It is circular, clear and has a standard connection
for attachment to the Flynn resuscitator or BVM. The inflated
cuff (air cushion donut) is normally less than completely full
and the mask is very flexible in order to accommodate a wide variety of
facial shapes.
There are many EMT's that like the Seal Easy type mask, and many others that
like the moulded face mask such as Laerdal Pocket mask. If you
prefer one to the other, could you send me an email.
Also tell me *WHY* you like the type you have selected.
I am doing a little study to see which one comes out on top. I'll post
the results in about a week.
