Bag valve mask (BVM) resuscitators are essential tools in emergency medicine used to provide positive pressure ventilation to patients who are apneic or have inadequate breathing. They consist of a self-expanding bag, a unidirectional valve, and a facial mask. Effective use requires proper technique to ensure a good seal and adequate ventilation, typically needing two rescuers for optimal performance. BVMs are crucial in both pre-hospital and hospital settings for respiratory support until advanced airway management can be established.

How many CPR barriers are there?
There are numerous barriers; some more effective and safe than others. Short answer is 3 types; a mask, a non-rebreather mask, and a BVM. The older microshield and other types without a 1-way valve should no longer be used. At least, you want a CPR mask that has a 1-way valve. The next better would be the CPR mask with the O2 connection (and1-way valve). As you get more into the clinical setting, a non-rebreather and BVM would be the other types.
Identify three things that if found on the outlet valve cover on a protective mask would require replacement on the outlet valve?
Rips Cracks Improper Seal
When performing pressure check on your protective mask what should do if the lens remain deflected after holding your breath?
You covered the inlet valve with your hand, breathed in, took your hand away from the valve, and it's still sucked in? That means no air is getting in. Take the mask off and remove the inlet valve cover. See if somehow the inlet valve got stuck. If that's not it, change the filter. The only way air gets into a serviceable pro mask is through the filter, and if air isn't getting into the face piece that means it's either not getting through the inlet valve or it's not getting through the filter.

Is mouth to mouth required for CPR?
Breathing is required for CPR. You can use a breathing barrier such as a mask; or use a bag valve mask for the breaths. Mouth to mouth, per se, is not recommended.
