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.
