Why Are Resuscitation Masks Important in Toxicology?
Resuscitation masks serve several purposes in toxicology:
Protection for the Rescuer: They provide a barrier protection that prevents the rescuer from being exposed to potentially harmful substances that the patient might have inhaled or ingested. Effective Ventilation: These masks ensure that the patient receives adequate ventilation, which is crucial when dealing with respiratory toxins or substances that impair breathing. Oxygen Delivery: Some masks are equipped to deliver supplemental oxygen therapy, which can be lifesaving in cases where toxic exposure leads to hypoxia.
