Has the ResQPOD Circulatory Enhancer been tested with Soda Lime Absorber Closed Circuit anesthetic systems, which are also used in resuscitation areas?
The ResQPOD has not been tested in closed circuit anesthetic systems; however, there is no reason to believe that the ResQPOD would not work. When expiration release pressures are high, minute volume dividers and pressure-cycled resuscitators may respond with a high respiratory rate and low breath volumes. Most EMS ventilators and BVM devices can be fitted with a break valve pressure of between 45 and 60 cmH2O. Does this affect ResQPOD performance? This should not alter the performance of the ResQPOD.
