Summary
Spireta laid the foundation for mobile ventilation equipment for resuscitation in Czechoslovakia in the late 1970s and 80s. The first version of the apparatus was made for military use (1977). It worked on the proven principle of intermittent positive pressure using O2 as the driving medium and featured original, reliable mechanical devices for the timing of the respiratory phases (Czechoslovak patent by Ing. Rumánek and his technician Sláma, 1976). It was manufactured by the Chirana company based in Stará Turá. The emergency services (briefcase) version weighed 15 kg and allowed mechanical ventilation and oxygen inhalation by face mask. It also included a suction unit, a two-liter pressurized oxygen tank and airway management devices such as plastic airways and face masks. Fixed mechanical ventilation could be used separately for children and adults of different sizes (using simple switch controls).
