The Importance of Having CPR Masks Ready in the Workplace

The work environment is filled with people who are working for the success of the company. When the job is in a production or manufacturing plant, it would mean dealing with large machineries, hazardous chemicals, or volatile liquids. Aside from that, this would also mean that the worker would be doing other types of manual labor processes.

If the workplace deals with these things, the risk for accidents is relatively higher. Hence, it is very important to have first aid kits on hand because these kits can greatly help in saving lives. Accidents can happen anytime but it is most common at these types of workplace. It is very important to have medical personnel on standby in order to provide immediate first aid in case an accident happens. It can also help if the employees are knowledgeable in some basic first aids in case there aren't any medical personnel available to administer it.

One important first aid that should always be readily available would be CPR masks. A CPR mask is used whenever cardiopulmonary resuscitation is needed. The procedure of CPR is essential since it supplies oxygen and promote blood flow to the lungs and the heart. The mask can be used to make sure that the person who will be delivering cardiopulmonary resuscitation will be safe from infectious diseases, bacteria, and transfer of blood and other bodily fluids from the patient or vice versa.

There are numerous types of CPR masks on the market today which can provide various safety options for performing CPR.

The CPR mask is a device that is used to safely deliver CPR or rescue breaths in case a person suffers from cardiac arrest or respiratory arrest. This is just a small device but it can help a lot especially during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. This should always be present in the first aid kit of a manufacturing plant or a production plant where accidents are most likely to happen. Oxygen is administered to the patient by the emergency responder or medical personnel in that workplace. The emergency responder will exhale through the one-way filter valve.

There are some modern CPR masks wherein there could either be a built-in one-way valve or there could also be an attachable disposable filter that will help in protecting the person who will be responding to the first aid from the potentially infectious bodily fluids like vomit or blood of the patient. There are also some masks that have their built-in oxygen intake tube which allows administration of at least 50-60% oxygen.

Although using CPR masks such as a pocket mask may not be as effective as using a bag valve mask, it has its own advantages especially when used for first aid. The bag valve mask type may require two persons to respond to the emergency while the pocket mask can be used by a single person and provide first aid effectively.  However, these two are still regarded as a type of CPR mask and can be effectively used when initiating first aid.

SFF FitSeal N-99 Respirator Masks, 10/pk $59.81 Features of the SFF FitSeal N-99 Respirator Masks: A triumph of science and technology, the Fitseal™ respirator (mask) takes personal respiratory protection to new levels. The Fitseal™ difference is found in its revolutionary approach. The result of 5 years of R & D by leading medical professionals and scientists in Canada and the US, the Fitseal™ respirator is entirely different from conventional masks. Its difference is its fit and protection. Made with patent pending materials, its advanced strapless adhesion technology conforms to most facial contours and creates a seal (face seal) that offers unsurpassed protection and comfort. One size fits all means that, unlike conventional masks most people can wear the Fitseal™ respirator with ease. Breathing is easy, speech is clear and it doesn't interfere with other protective headgear. The adhesion seal means that inward leakage, (the amount of particulate matter carrying disease causing bacteria, viruses, allergens and toxins that seep in through gaps around nose, sides and chin areas) is significantly minimized. The Fitseal mask is the only true protection as it forms a skin sensitive seal around your nose and mouth — proven to be 100 times more effective than traditional N95 and N99 masks. The new FitSeal mask is approved by NIOSH under rule 42 CFR part 84 and has met the additional testing standards for new technology as part of respirator certification. Effective against: SARS, Swine Flu, Avian Bird Flu, Hurricane/Weather clean up, Disasters, Emergency Responders, Terrorism, Medical, Industrial. Protection: * Two-way multi-layered advanced filtration media captures toxic, allergenic, and infectious airborne particles. * Extremely low particle penetration of 0.3 micron-sized particles at an airflow rate of 85L/min. * Meets CDC guidelines for M. tuberculosis exposure control. * Puncture-, crush-, tear-, and fluid-resistant. * Synthetic Blood Penetration tested (ASTM F1862); no penetration observed in 32 samples. * Flame-resistant tested (FDA 16 CFR Part 1610 Class 1); no flame spread. * No exhalation valve that can spread disease-causing germs. * "N" type Fitseal™ respirators can be used for up to 8 hours against particulate aerosols free of oil. * Minimal accumulation of heat, carbon dioxide, and moisture.
