1.3 Special Features of the COMBIBAG
COMBIBAG, the first manual resuscita-
tor with segmental division for adults
and children.
Hitherto, at least 2 resuscitation bags were required
to ventilate patients of all age groups, a child resus-
citation bag and a large adult resuscitation bag.
Now the special design featuring the COMBIBAG
covers both functions. The bag is divided into two
segments (one large and one small) by two longitu-
dinal troughs, marked with appropriate symbols.
The tidal volume required can be obtained by
squeezing the adult or child segment:
• up to 500 ml in child ventilation
• 500 - 1200 ml in adult ventilation.
The usual, separate child bag becomes unnecessary.
The principle of “two bags in one” is extremely eco-
nomical and saves space in each emergency kit.
