Oxygen Masks
- Ambu-bag (Laerdal resuscitator) – used to provide positive pressure ventilation
- Simple face mask
- Nasal prongs – assist in providing oxygen
- Non-rebreather mask – enables to delivery of high concentrations of oxygen
- Venturi mask with oxygen ports – mask used for the delivery of oxygen
Intubation Equipment
- Laryngoscope handle – an instrument used to visualize the larynx
- Macintosh III laryngoscope blade
- Miller laryngoscope blade
- Cuffed endotracheal tube – a catheter that is placed inside the trachea to maintain a patent airway.
- Stylet – a probe that assists with intubation
- Large oral airway – a device that opens an airway by preventing the tongue from covering the epiglottis
- Small oral airway – same as the large oral airway (but smaller)
- Nasal airway – similar to the oral airway, but goes through the nose
- Yanker suction tip – oral suctioning tool
- McGill Forceps – aid passage of endotracheal tubes
- Face mask
- Syringe
- Carbon dioxide detector
- Tracheal light
- Bougie – similar in function to a stylet but more elastic
