Live Ventilator

Properly ventilating a patient is a difficult task, even under ideal conditions. The need for an easy-to-use reliable Automated ventilatory device is highlighted by the fact that the first time many medics ventilate a patient will be in non-hospital environments. The LIVe is built to save lives by improving the triage capabilities of medics and elevating the standard of care in the far forward environment by replacing bag valve masks (BVM) with a simplified automated ventilation device. The LIVe can be deployed by a medic in less than 30 seconds. If triage priorities dictate the medic help other patients, a combat life-saver who is trained to keep the patient’s head tilted and how to hold a two handed seal can remain with The patient. This frees up the medic to apply a tourniquet, start fluids, administer drugs or attend other patients with life threatening wounds.
