National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Use of the Seeler Resuscitator in Man.

AD075187

Publication Date	1955
Personal Author	Hickman, J. B.; Sieker, H. O.; Pryor, W. W.; Frayser, R.
Page Count	59
Abstract	This report covers three topics relating to the Seeler resuscitator. Equations have been developed by means of which it is possible to describe a complete respiratory cycle of the resuscitator and to examine the results of change in the major variables of the subject resuscitator system. Particular attention has been devoted to the problem of providing adequate ventilation to a person with a high respiratory resistance. The successful use of the Seeler resuscitator in cases of carbon dioxide narcosis is described. These patients have an high resistance and a low pulmonary compliance. Since they simulate in this respect persons with 'nerve gas' poisoning, they are valuable subjects for testing the effectiveness of a resuscitator. Some observations are made on the effects on arterial blood pressure and cerebral venous blood oxygen of inducing hypocapnia by over ventilation during resuscitation.
