How to Use a Bag Valve Mask Effectively?

Effective use of a BVM requires proper technique and practice. Here are the steps:
1. Position the patient supine and ensure the airway is clear.
2. Position yourself at the patient's head.
3. Use the C-E clamp technique to hold the mask securely over the patient's nose and mouth.
4. Squeeze the bag to deliver a breath every 5-6 seconds for adults, and every 3-5 seconds for infants and children.
5. Observe chest rise to confirm effective ventilation.
