Abstract
A manually-operated surgical breathing bag for artificial respiration of human beings. The subject bag includes a gas tight, elastomeric, self-expanding and preferably elongated hollow body and an attached port which serves as both a gas inlet and outlet opening. The bag's elongated hollow body is provided with an 'hourglass' configuration having a narrowed central portion as an aid for grasping. In order to apply artificial respiration to an individual, the hollow body is grasped with one hand, the fingers spanning the periphery of the hollow body at its narrowed central portion, and compressed with this hand thereby expelling gas toward an individual's lungs.
