A bag valve mask (BVM), sometimes known by the proprietary name Ambu bag or generically as a manual resuscitator or "self-inflating bag", is a hand-held device commonly used to provide positive pressure ventilation to patients who are not breathing or not breathing adequately.

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

2020年9月15日 · The equipment that is required for bag valve mask ventilation includes a bag valve mask, a PEEP valve (i.e., a simple spring-loaded valve against which the patient exhales), an oxygen source along with oxygen tubing, and elementary airway adjuncts (like nasopharyngeal airway and oropharyngeal airway).

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.

2023年8月14日 · Breaths are delivered using a bag mask device by manually squeezing an oxygen-filled reservoir bag that is attached to an oxygen source and mask. The mask is firmly placed over the patient’s nose and mouth to form an airtight seal.
