[New PEEP device--application of PEEP and CPAP during manually operated ventilation (author's transl)].

A new PEEP device has been developed for use with manually operated resuscitators. The PEEP valve can be combined with adult resuscitators as well as with neonatal resuscitators (40 g). The PEEP can be varied between 0 and +10 cm H2O. With this new PEEP device it is now possible to apply PEEP during manually operated artificial ventilation, e.g. during transportation etc.
