Calf Resuscitator Instructions:

Aspiration:

1. Attach the aspirator mask on the wide end and place over the muzzle.
2. One-way induction valves draw air into the unit on the out-stroke.
3. A vacuum is created when the unit is pumped to remove mucus or fluids that may be blocking the airway.
4. Tilt head back to open airway.
5. Four or five pumps will draw the mucus or fluids into the aspirator mask.
6. Remove the aspirator mask from the pump and follow resuscitation instructions.

Resuscitation

1. Attach the resuscitator mask to the small end of the unit and place over the muzzle.
2. The one-way valve will induct air into the unit on the out-stroke and drive it down through the two-way valve into the lungs on the in-stroke.
3. The two-way valve then opens and allows oxygen-depleted air to escape to the side and NOT be reintroduced to the patient.
4. Resuscitator should be pumped every 5 to 10 seconds to allow full exhalation.
5. Breathing should be stimulated with as few as 5 to 10 pumps. Check for breathing every few pumps.
6. If not breathing after 4 to 5 pumps, turn the calf over and repeat. This will allow the lung previously closer to the ground and weighed-down by internal organs to inflate more easily.
7. Continue while heartbeat remains.
