A cardiopulmonary resuscitation device and method that combines artificial, emergency
ventilation of a patient's lungs with chest compressions on the patient's sternum
area. The device includes a self-inflating bag having a top side, a bottom side,
and an outlet port through which the content of the bag is forced when the top
side of the bag is pushed toward the bottom side of the bag; target indicia on
the self-inflating bag to indicate the proper position of the self-inflating bag
on the patient's sternum area and to indicate the proper location on the self-inflating
bag for applying force to the top side of the self-inflating bag; a face mask for
placement over the patient's mouth and nose; and a tube extending from the outlet
port of the self-inflating bag to the face mask.
