摘要

Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) has an acute onset, mainly affects the respiratory tract,and can progress to acute respiratory distress syndrome, which necessitates management inthe intensive care unit. This pandemic has created an unprecedented need for ventilatorsacross the globe. Of every 100 patients diagnosed, at least three patients require mechanicalventilation [1]. This has led to a widespread demand for ventilators in a bid reduce mortalityrates. In the United States alone, there is an acute ventilator shortage of 300,000–700,000 unitsaccording to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Pandemic Response Plans Report[2]. This has prompted policy makers to settle for cheaper alternatives for mechanicalventilators, specifically automated artificial manual breathing units (AMBU) bags or resuscitators.An automated AMBU resuscitator is a device with a built-in mechanism that alternatelysqueezes and releases the AMBU bag at a specific frequency in a cyclical fashion, thusobviating the need for a person to do the same (Figure 1). Many manufacturers have begunproducing automated AMBU bags, which are light weight, self-contained, rechargeable orbattery powered, and provide controlled breaths to the patient. They claim to provide cost-effectiveventilation in times of a pandemic crisis like COVID-19. When compared to its manualcounterpart, automated AMBU bags do provide an advantage to healthcare workers in thatthey are hands-free, allowing staff to perform other critical tasks relevant to patient care whileavoiding high intra-thoracic pressure and gastric insufflation, which may be associated withmanually bagging patients.
