👉 The apnic weapon, also known as the apnificator, is a specialized device designed to temporarily halt the breathing process in animals or humans during medical procedures. It works by delivering a controlled, high-flow stream of oxygen while intermittently blocking the airway, effectively causing the individual to stop breathing. This is achieved through a valve system that can be rapidly opened and closed, allowing for precise control over the duration of apnea. The apnic weapon is particularly useful in surgeries where anesthesia is required but continuous breathing is necessary, such as in cardiac procedures or when dealing with patients who have difficulty maintaining a consistent airway. Its use minimizes the risk of hypoxia and allows for safer, more effective medical interventions.
