Disadvantage of Long Bite Block
- Long bite blocks, longer than 3/4 inches, require labeling: USA "Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
- Long bite blocks increase the risk of trauma and bleeding to mucus membrane if not inserted correctly.
- Long bite blocks can push the tongue back and block the airway. (Australian Standard AS4359-19)
- Long bite blocks can induce the gag reflex and vomiting if the patient is not fully unconscious.
- Long bite blocks can limit their use in certain patients, i.e. small children.
How good are FILTERS on Masks?
- Test results on microbiological filters which were published in The Journal of Emergency Medicine, Vol. 9 1991, were shown not to be effective in CPR devices.
- Filters are porous and allow moisture to pass through.
- Filters have a very short shelf life.
- The efficiency of filters are measured under dry conditions, not the moist conditions that are found during CPR. The efficiency under dry conditions can even drop as much as 3% during the first six months of shelf life.
- Filters will wick moisture from a wet surface which it may touch, i.e. a patient's mouth or a manikin face, to the operator side.
