>A reanimation device consists of a reanimation bag which is placed on the chest of the patient and which has a tube connected to the lungs of the patient, e.g. by a mouthpiece. When the bag is compressed heart massage may be effected through the bag by the operator. Thus, a single person may carry out resuscitation and heart massage alternately.

Just something I found on google, not sure if this is 100 percent accurate, but it sounds like a manual, limited use heart/lung machine.
- mike_d 7y agoI think it is a poor translation of "resuscitation device" like an AED or likely a bag valve mask.
- Waterluvian 7y agoI think the idea is that you perform chest compressions and pump a bellows at the same time with the same motion so you don't need a second person to breathe air into them. Just a guess.
- mattkrause 7y agoYup. It's a not-quite-false cognate in French too (https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/french-english/réanimation https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/french-english/...) Was very disappointed when the reanimation class wasn't taught by Dr. Frankenstein and only covered CPR.
- Vinnl 7y agoHuh, in Dutch as well. That might be useful knowledge if I ever get in a situation where I need an AED in an English-speaking country.
