BVM stands for Bag Valve Mask. It is a handheld device used in emergency medicine to provide positive pressure ventilation to patients who are not breathing or not breathing adequately. BVM is known as a manual resuscitator or Ambu bag.

2024年10月6日 · Bag-Valve-Mask (BVM) apparatus are also known as manual resuscitators and as self-inflating resuscitation systems; examples include Laerdal TM, Ambu TM, Hsiner TM, Mayo TM, and Air Viva TM; USES. administration of high flow O2; provision of PEEP (positive end-expiratory pressure) provision of controlled ventilation

To achieve lung-protective ventilation for intubated patients, the average tidal volume should be between 5–8 milliliters per kilogram (mL/kg) of ideal body weight. 3,4,5,6 The reservoirs of adult BVMs contain between 1500–2000 mL of air, depending on manufacturer and model, with projected stroke volumes of between 900–1000 mL. 7,8,9 The volume ...

Asthmatics and COPD patients require assisted ventilations at a lower ventilation rate of 4-6 breaths/min to allow better exhalation. Newborn patients should be ventilated with air initially; premature newborn should be ventilated with blended air – …

2023年5月21日 · BVM ventilation can be aided by the use of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) valve attached and titrated from 5 to 15 cm H2O in order to improve oxygenation prior to intubation in patients who are unable to be appropriately pre-oxygenated with standard therapy.

In BVM ventilation, a self-inflating bag (resuscitator bag) is attached to a nonrebreathing valve and then to a face mask that conforms to the soft tissues of the face. The opposite end of the bag is attached to an oxygen source (100% oxygen) and usually a reservoir bag.

2025年2月2日 · Using a bag-valve mask (BVM), breaths are manually delivered by compressing the bag to force air into the patient’s lungs, creating positive pressure. The BVM consists of a self-inflating bag, a one-way valve, and a facemask that fits over the patient’s mouth and nose, ensuring a proper seal.

The self-inflating resuscitator or bag-valve-mask (BVM) is a basic but essential part of an anaesthetist's toolkit for resuscitation. It is used in situations ranging from preoxygenation of the lungs, emergency ventilation for respiratory failure and cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

2022年11月15日 · Bag-valve-mask (BVM) ventilation is used to treat patients with inadequate breathing. These patients usually require emergency management and are admitted to the intensive care unit. It is useful for patients who can breathe …

The range of maximum minute volumes observed in both groups highlights the need for continuous BVM ventilator training.
