manual resuscitator bag is used to provide air by hand, if your patient is not breathing. The bag can also be used to give large breaths after suctioning, a trach change or when a ventilator circuit is being changed. The bag must always be near your patient in case of an emergency.
patient lifter, also known as a patient hoist or Hoyer lift, is a medical device designed to safely lift and transfer individuals with limited mobility from one place to another, such as from a bed to a chair or wheelchair. These devices reduce the risk of injury to both the patient and caregiver by eliminating the need for manual lifting.
