The single-use O-Two Adult Ventilation Timing Light provides not only timing for the initiation of the breath but also indicates the duration of the ventilation by remaining illuminated for the duration of the inspiratory time. This provides a safe, slow delivery of the breath. The off phase provides adequate expiration time to avoid breath stacking.

Ventilation timing during CPR or respiratory arrest has been shown to be poorly performed, overly aggressive and potentially detrimental to patient survival. Providing ventilations at too fast a rate, or with inspiration and expiration times that are too short, decreases venous return to the heart by stacking breaths, increasing and maintaining high intrathoracic pressures. It also risks increasing brain ischemia by decreasing carbon dioxide levels in the blood, causing peripheral cerebral vasoconstriction.In the mask ventilated patient, high airway pressures and flows risk gastric insufflation and the subsequent aspiration of stomach contents. The O-Two Adult Ventilation Timing Light offers a simple and quick to apply solution to assist in the reduction of all of these negative effects.
