When using a bvm how often should you give rescue breaths?

For children and infants: once every three seconds For adults: once every five seconds


What does BVW stand for in the CPR module?

Never heard ofa BVW. There is a BVM which is a Bag Valve Mask. This is the device you see people on tv using where they squeeze a bag to deliver breaths to a victim.


What is the compression rate for CPR 2 person rescuers for patient with advanced airway?

The only difference an advanced airway would make is that you no longer have to discontinue compressions after every 30 to administer rescue breaths. You can continue compressions at a rate of 100 per minute, and give the rescue breaths with your BVM without pausing after every 30 compressions.


Compare mouth-to-mask and bag-valve-mask methods?

There is not much to compare for the two as a BVM uses a 2600 ML bag of air squeezed to provide air. A BVM can also be hooked up to O2 and deliver 90% inspired Oxygen. You can see the chest rise in BVM whereas you feel in more in mouth to mask. When giving breaths, you do it over 6-8 seconds which is the same for a BVM. You use either the head tilt chin lift or jaw thrust manuver for both as well.


What do you do when a victim of a foreign body airway obstruction becomes unresponsive?

Agonal gasps are not productive and are not considered breathing. If patient has a pulse then give breaths at a rate of once every 5 seconds using a BVM attached to 100% o2 at 15lpm. CPR would be warranted if they are pulseless.


What technique will work best for ventilating a non breathing stoma patient?

For a non-breathing stoma patient, the best technique for ventilation is to use a bag-valve-mask (BVM) device adapted for stomas. It is crucial to ensure a proper seal around the stoma to deliver effective breaths. If a BVM is not available, using a manual resuscitation bag specifically designed for stoma patients can also be effective. Continuous monitoring of the patient’s oxygen saturation and responsiveness is essential during ventilation.

A bag valve mask ventilation should be performed?

Bag valve mask (BVM) ventilation should be performed when a patient is unable to breathe adequately on their own and requires assistance to maintain oxygenation. It is crucial during respiratory distress, cardiac arrest, or any situation where the airway is compromised. Proper technique involves creating a tight seal around the patient's mouth and nose, using a one-way valve, and delivering breaths while monitoring the chest rise to ensure effective ventilation. Additionally, securing the airway and providing supplemental oxygen can enhance the effectiveness of BVM ventilation.


How would you ventilate a patient using bvm?

To ventilate a patient using a Bag-Valve-Mask (BVM), first ensure that the patient is in a proper position, typically supine, and open the airway by using the head-tilt, chin-lift maneuver or jaw-thrust if spinal injury is suspected. Place the mask over the patient's nose and mouth, creating a tight seal, and squeeze the bag to deliver breaths, aiming for one breath every 5-6 seconds for adults or every 3-5 seconds for infants. Watch for chest rise to confirm effective ventilation, and if necessary, adjust the mask or reposition the airway to maintain a good seal. It’s important to monitor the patient's oxygenation and response throughout the process.
