A Bag-Valve-Mask (BVM) is used to provide positive pressure ventilation to a patient who is not breathing adequately. To use a BVM, ensure the patient is in a supine position, seal the mask tightly over the patient's nose and mouth, and use the bag to deliver air or oxygen by compressing it while maintaining a good mask seal. It’s important to coordinate ventilation with the patient's chest rise and to monitor for effective oxygenation. Always ensure the BVM is properly sized for the patient to achieve an effective seal and ventilation.
