Proper usage of a BVM involves several steps: 1. Position the Patient: Place the patient in a supine position. Ensure the airway is open using techniques like the head-tilt-chin-lift or jaw-thrust maneuver. 2. Seal the Mask: Place the mask over the patient’s nose and mouth. Ensure a tight seal to prevent air leakage. 3. Ventilate: Squeeze the bag to deliver breaths. Provide one breath every 5-6 seconds for adults and every 3-5 seconds for children and infants.
