Unless its your loved one and your prepared to contract one for the team, a pocket mask will not work. A bag valve mask is the only way to protect yourself. And current CPR is now all about chest compressions anyway. And almost every single person who is resuscitated will vomit on you, themselves, and those standing next to you and them.

If the ebola virus comes to this country and you have to give CPR and the person has the disease, what do you do? Suggestion: purchase a CPR barrier mask to protect yourself and avoid the ethical decision of whether to give CPR or not.
