I've been unsuccessful in finding a unit on the web that can be used as a CPAP device or used as a vent for intubated patients. Does anyone know of such a product?

Take care and be safe,

An "Autovent" is a brand name for a timed demand valve.... good for codes, stinks for everything else.

I would think that any 'real" vent could do CPAP and vent at the same time.... it might be cheaper, if you don't need a real vent, but something to releive you of the need to bag a patient who is coding, then a autovent and a seperate CPAP generator might work for you.... I've seen this whole system store with a portable cylinder in a clamshell duffel bag.
