For treatment of High Altitude Pulmonary Edema (HAPE) only. Patient breathes normal air through one-way inlet valve, while expired air is forced out through a resistance valve. The slight pressure upon exhalation results in increased air volume in lungs during breathing resting stage. The EPAP mask/PEEP valve may be beneficial as a temporizing measure until descent is accomplished or a hyperbaric chamber can be used. Studies on Denali indicated improved oxygen saturation using this system. Very compact and lightweight, this system is a must for every high-altitude medical kit.
Mask weight: 3-1/2 oz.
PEEP Valve weight: 1-1/4 oz. PEEP valve is single use.
This item is EPAP Mask Only.
