Fig 1 (a) Two-piece Laerdal mask showing the component parts side-on. (b) Assembled mask showing the absence of a rubber flange (see arrow), which was responsible for equipment failure in Case 1. (c) Correctly assembled mask en face. (d) Incorrectly assembled mask on too small a face-piece. The arrows indicate the gap responsible for equipment failure in Case 2.
