Abstract

A device and a method for artificial respiration in emergencies are proposed. The device comprises respiratory mask (40) which can be placed onto the nose and mouth section of a person to be provided with artificial respiration, a mouth section mouthpiece (41), through which respiratory air from an aider can be supplied, a flow tube (2) disposed between the respiratory mask (40) and the mouthpiece (41), which flow tube forms a continuous flow channel for the supplied respiratory air from the mouthpiece (41) to the respiratory mask (40), at least one sensor (10) disposed in the flow channel of the flow tube (2), which sensor measures parameters of the gases flowing through the flow channel, a processor disposed on the flow tube (2) and an output device (124). Here, the processor processes the mass or volumetric flow registered by the flow sensor (19) to form an output signal. The output device (124) emits the output signal.
