Boussignac or Bousniac mask is part of a CPAP system. It has no moving parts. Check out this link: http://medgadget.com/2006/02/boussignac_cpap.html
For a video showing the use of a Boussignac mask CPAP system for EMS, check out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1ftWsVGnvQ
Hope this helps!

I like them. Insanely simple and it doesn't sound like the space shuttle is lifting off inside your truck.

Thanks for sharing the link to the handout! It is interesting to see the differences (often slight but not always!) between services....

Somedays I hate this job. If I could find another decent job working in the media, I'd go back to my previous career in a flash.

You're like a PIO or something right now for Sandy relief work, right?

I find it pretty funny that in a group of 353 ambulances I can easily tell which ones are from California just by having them turn on their code 3 lights.

No blue lights on Cali units?

Well that and it seems as if Cali is the only state that requires a steady burning forward facing red light.

A county PIO, but still a lowly field medic most days. :/

Lost my phone on a scene this morning. The patient had fallen 30 feet out of a tree stand, was extracted from the woods by her dad in their Yukon. When I was getting her out of the car, my phone fell out of my otterbox clip into the car.
Now I'm waiting for parents of a messed up trauma patient to get to worrying about me and my phone needs to stop by the station and drop it off.
I keep thinking of people I need to call.

We don't have blue lights on our ambulances either. EMS/fire have red & whites and police have red & blue.
