ER
Everyone who works in the ER knows it can go from quiet to chaotic in seconds and there isn’t always staff on hand to help you ventilate. NuMask’s intraoral design creates a dependable, snorkel-like seal in seconds, unaffected by facial hair, lack of dentition, obesity or facial trauma. When things get truly busy, Numask is always at the ready.
TESTIMONIALS
“I have used the NuMask on several occasions and it had never failed to provide a seal that was as good or better than a conventional external mask. In fact, I have used it to effectively ventilate patients who were impossible to ventilate adequately by any other means. We have decided to include the NuMask in every bag-valve-mask kit in our Emergency Department.”
Lee Shockley, MD, FACEP, Emergency Dept. Medical Director, Denver Health Medical Center, Denver, CO
“The NuMask made ventilating even our most difficult patients an easy one man job.”
Gerard Pineiro, MD, Emergency Physician, Erie, PA
“I could not imagine an airway in which NuMask would not be superior to using a traditional mask.”
John Kendal, MD, Emergency Physician, Denver, CO
“This makes it so much easier to manage ventilation with my small hands.”
Amy Hanna, RN, ED Nurse, Santa Clarita, CA
“It makes mask ventilation simple for all levels of providers.”
Gregory Pousson, MD, Emergency Physician, Los Angeles, CA
