It is an assembly of components that connect the patient airway to the anesthesia machine creating an artificial atmosphere. It is termed a lightweight convenient device that helps in controlled ventilation.

• Artificial Resuscitators: Ambu bag or generically called a manual resuscitator or "self-inflating bag", is a hand-held device commonly used to provide positive pressure ventilation to patients who are not breathing or not breathing adequately.
