Abstract

An apparatus, system and method of actuating a manual ventilator system bag to cause patient ventilation. The apparatus, system and method include a pressure exerter proximate to the manual ventilator system bag; and an actuator suitable for remote actuation of said pressure exerter. In embodiments, actuation of the actuator remotely causes the pressure exerter to make contact with and exert pressure against the manual ventilator system bag to thereby execute ventilation of the patient associated with an inlet hose/tube.

Claims

1. An actuator system for a manual ventilator system bag, comprising:

a mount suitable for maintaining a position of the manual ventilator system bag and at least an inlet hose, tube or cable associated with the manual ventilator system bag;

a pressure exerter proximate to the manual ventilator system bag; and

an actuator suitable for remote actuation of said pressure exerter, wherein actuation of said actuator remotely causes said pressure exerter to make contact with and exert pressure against the manual ventilator system bag to thereby execute ventilation of a patient associated with the inlet hose.

2. The actuator system of claim 1, wherein the pressure exerter comprises pressure paddles aside the manual ventilator system bag.

3. The actuator system of claim 1, wherein the pressure exerter comprises an air-filled ring around the manual ventilator system bag.

4. The actuator system of claim 1, wherein the actuator comprises a pedal.

5. The actuator system of claim 1, wherein the actuator comprises a handle.

6. The actuator system of claim 1, wherein the actuator comprises a button.

7. The actuator system of claim 1, further comprising a cable within a sheath traversing from said actuator to the manual ventilation system bag.

8. The actuator system of claim 7, further comprising a plurality of springs physically associated with the pressure exerter, wherein actuation of said actuator activates the springs.

9. The actuator system of claim 8, wherein the activation comprises compression of the springs.

10. The actuator system of claim 8, wherein the activation comprises decompression of the springs.

11. The actuator system of claim 7, wherein the cable comprises an air-filled cable comprising at least one valve, wherein actuation of said actuator actuates the at least one valve.

12. An actuator system for actuating a manual ventilator system bag suspended from a bag mount suitable for maintaining a position of the manual ventilator system bag and at least an inlet house associated with the manual ventilator system bag, comprising:

a pressure exerter proximate to the manual ventilator system bag; and

a pedal actuator suitable for remote actuation of said pressure exerter, wherein actuation of said pedal actuator remotely causes said pressure exerter to make contact with and exert pressure against the manual ventilator system bag to thereby execute ventilation of a patient associated with the inlet hose.
