When using a bag-mask device for a child during CPR, you should squeeze the bag to deliver breaths every 2 to 3 seconds, which translates to about 20 to 30 breaths per minute. Ensure that each breath lasts about 1 second and results in visible chest rise. It's important to maintain a proper seal and avoid excessive ventilation, which can lead to complications. Always prioritize high-quality chest compressions in conjunction with rescue breaths.
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.
