Claim:
1. A device for resuscitating a patient or a victim of cardiorespiratory arrest comprising: an insufflated air inlet, an outlet for said insufflated air provided at a lower end of an air conveying tube designed to penetrate a throat of the patient or the victim through a mouth, wherein said insufflated air inlet is provided in a nozzle for contact with a mouth of a resuscitator, said nozzle including coupling means for coupling to the upper end of said air conveying tube; at least a first one-way valve interposed between said air inlet and air outlet to allow a flow of air from said inlet to said outlet and prevent a flow of a fluid exhaled by the patient or the victim in an opposite direction, a body of said valve including an outlet aperture for an exit of the fluid exhaled by the patient or the victim, characterized in that an upper end of said insufflated air conveying tube comprises a portion of tube which is configured for internally receiving the body of said valve, a wall of said tube including at least one outer hole communicating with an aperture of the body of the valve to allow discharging the fluid exhaled by the patient or the victim to an outside, wherein the body of said valve and said nozzle are integrated in a single part, said part being able to be coupled to and uncoupled from the upper end of said air conveying tube, wherein said first one-way valve comprises an obturating piston which is associated with a spring, said obturating piston being able to move inside the body of said valve to allow the entry of air when the insufflated air pressure exceeds the reaction force of the spring, the body of the valve comprising guides along which said piston moves, said piston closing the outlet aperture of the body of the valve as it moves along said guides due to the insufflated air pressure; and a protective mask for protecting lips and a nose and part of a face of the resuscitator which is configured for being coupled to the air inlet nozzle of the device, said mask being able to rotate together with said nozzle about the axis of the air conveying tube.
