They are also important tools for providing face mask ventilation during emergency airway management, such as a patient in cardiac arrest. Though the flow of oxygen is usually necessary, these devices do not require electricity or a source of pressurized gas for their function. There are two types of portable manual resuscitators: self-inflating and flow-inflating systems.
