Resuscitation device for humans comprising:- a sensor for detecting a number of parameter values in a human being- a memory for storing a predetermined function and a number of detected parameter values- a processing unit connected with the sensor and the memory for processing the number of detected parameter values in said predetermined function to establish whether said human being is in a state of developing apnoea- a response device connected with the processing unit for providing a response as a function of the number of processed parameter values by the processing unit when said processing unit has determined that said human being is in said state of developing apnoea.The resuscitation device is designed for wearing on or behind a human ear, the sensor is arranged to detect a breathing signal from said human being, and the response device comprises a stimulation device designed to provoke an induced aspiration reflex by a resuscitating stimulation of the respiratory area of the human brain stem by providing a mechanical or an electrical stimulus to a point on an auricle of a human ear.
