Resuscitation aids are tools that assist in the restoration of breathing and circulation to a person who has stopped breathing or whose heart has stopped beating. They include various devices and equipment used in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and advanced cardiac life support (ACLS), such as bag valve masks, automated external defibrillators (AEDs), endotracheal tubes, suction devices, and more.
These aids are crucial in emergency situations, where prompt and effective resuscitation can mean the difference between life and death. It is important for healthcare providers, emergency responders, and even members of the general public to have access to and be trained in the use of these aids.
