bag valve mask (bvm) ventilation

How to Properly Use a BVM?

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.
