Step B – Clear airway Step 1 – Insert airway or connect mask Step 2 - Connect breathing circuit to device Step 3 – Turn on SAVe II Step 4 – Connect breathing circuit to airway Step 5 – Verify chest rise. Monitor Alarms Step 6 –... - Page 8 Step 1 – Insert Airway The use of an ET tube, surgical or supraglottic airway is preferred over a mask. This will help reduce the risk of airway collapse or leakage around the seal of the mask. If this can’t be done, immediately ventilate with a mask until an airway can be inserted.
- Page 9 Tip: Practice until you can pull out and fully deploy the SAVe II with a mask in less than 20 seconds. Consider teaching Combat Lifesavers or others on your team how to head tilt or jaw thrust and hold a...

- Page 14 Step 6 – If desired, connect low pressure O2 via reservoir connector 1. Remove port cap (Port cap provides extra protection to the filter. It should remain in place unless the reservoir tube or the attenuator are in use) 2. Do not remove filter (Do not run the device without a filter(s) in place as sand or dirt may get into compressor)
- Page 15 Step 6 – If desired, connect low pressure O2 via reservoir connector The amount of Supplement O required to achieve a desired FIO is determined by the minute volume being delivered to the patient. For instance, at 5’9” the default setting is to deliver 420 mL at a rate of 15 BPM. That is a minute volume of 6.3 LPM.
