2011年7月11日 · BVM is used when the RATE is not high enough to support life. NRB is used when the RATE is high enough but the body is not absorbing the oxygen properly. An OPA is used when there is no gag reflex in an unconscious patient with an unprotected airway. An NPA is used when there is mouth trauma or defect that prevents the proper mounting of the OPA.

2016年3月4日 · Short answer: NRB if the patient is breathing, BVM if the patient is not. Actual answer: It depends. The NRB is an oxygen delivery device only. The patient has to moving air …

A BVM is used to supply positive pressure ventilations, for either an apneic patient or other inadequate ventilation (low or high or shallow). A NRB is the standard for oxygen delivery as it has the largest range, whereas a cannula is used for patients that can’t tolerate a NRB or only need a little bit of oxygen.

To evaluate and compare the effectiveness and tolerability of preoxygenation with the self-inflating bag-valve-mask (BVM) and non-rebreather mask (NRM) as are used before emergency anaesthesia.

2019年2月10日 · BVM fixes a ventilation problem, i.e. they are not getting enough air in/out. NRB is to increase oxygen levels in someone whose tidal volume is fine. BVM is to increase both oxygen levels and tidal volume when both are deficient. Someone unconscious could be breathing perfectly fine or not breathing at all...or anywhere in between.

The general rule is patients with minor SOB or hypoxia generally only need a nasal cannula while patients with moderate to severe SOB or hypoxia will need a NRB. If the patient is apneic or breathing with an insufficient rate or tidal volume, a BVM is often used.

2023年2月28日 · Complete discussions for several devices, including non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) and mechanical ventilation can be found separately. Here we divide oxygen delivery devices by the amount of flow delivered to the patient:

2016年3月2日 · Because BVM's are more for CO2 removal, they can work perfectly fine without an oxygen source. To clarify the above statement, BVM's do breathe for the patient as they …

2013年12月25日 · FWIW, I seriously question whether any clinically significant benefit is offered by a BVM vs. a NRB anyway. I know a BVM with a good seal can theoretically deliver 90% 02 vs. the 70% (maybe 80% on a good day) you might get with a NRB, but that 90% is best case scenario, meaning you consistently maintain a great seal and have no room air ...

2023年8月21日 · If they are moving enough air, but simply need oxygen, a NRB is reasonable. If they need help moving air, a BVM or other PPV device is appropriate. It all comes down to the differences and relationship between oxygenation and ventilation.
