   Elastomeric masks linked to backpack air tanks: self-contained breathing apparatus, worn by firefighters advancing with a firehose. There are two major application areas for SCBA: firefighting, and industrial use in confined spaces. [20] For SCBAs used in firefighting, manufacturers typically prioritize fire resistance and weight reduction over ...

   Thomson was part of a team that developed a ventilation mask designed to minimize aerosolization, reducing the risk of virus transmission in COVID-19 patients. Created from a modified firefighter's mask, this device can be used with CPAP or BiPAP machines and features a dual seal to prevent air leaks.

4. Continuous positive airway pressure - Wikipedia

   CPAP machines possess a motor that pressurizes room temperature air and delivers it through a hose connected to a mask or tube worn by the patient. This constant stream of air opens and keeps the upper airway unobstructed during inhalation and exhalation. [1] Some CPAP machines have other features as well, such as heated humidifiers.

   A resuscitator is a device using positive pressure to inflate the lungs of an unconscious person who is not breathing, in order to keep them oxygenated and alive. [citation needed] There are three basic types: a manual version (also known as a bag valve mask) consisting of a mask and a large hand-squeezed plastic bulb using ambient air, or with supplemental oxygen from a high-pressure tank.
