The oxygen reservoir bag that is attached to an adult bvm typically holds up to 2600 ml or cc's of air. The bag part on it's own can hold around 1475 mls. The "bag" section only delivers the air during ventilatons. It is either attached directly to an oxygen source, be it a tank or wall outlet with out a reservoir bag or there is a reservoir bag attached, that fills up with oxygen from a source. With out an oxygen source or the reservoir bag attached it only delivers "room air".

What else can I help you with?
How many cc's of air does the pediatric bvm hold?
My cheeks..
When using a BVM how often do you give breaths?
Breaths don't change when using a BVM; 1 breath every 5 seconds for an Adult & 1 breath every 3 seconds for an Infant & Child.
When you use the BVM how much air are you deliver to the patinet in one squeeze?
In the adult patient, the volume is 500 to 1000 cc's/ml The percentage is 95% without an advanced airway 100% with ETT, or combi.
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.
When was Nativity BVM High School created?
Nativity BVM High School was created in 1955.
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
How do you use a BVM?
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.
What can an EMT do for cardiac arrest?

What is BCLS Certification?
BCLS is basic cardiac life support and is a certification for professional rescuers or health care providers. It includes adult, child, infant, 2-rescuer CPR, and use of the BVM and O2.
What does bvm stand for?
A bag valve mask (also known as a BVM or Ambu bag) is a hand-held device used to provide positive pressure ventilation to a patient who is not breathing or who is breathing inadequately. The device is a normal part of a resuscitation kit for trained professional, such as ambulance crew. The BVM is frequently used in hospitals, and is an essential part of a crash cart. The device is used extensively in the operating room to ventilate an anaesthetised patient in the minutes before a mechanical ventilator is attached. The device is self-filling with air, although additional oxygen (O2) can be added.Use of the BVM to ventilate a patient is frequently called "bagging" the patient.[1] Bagging is regularly necessary in medical emergencies when the patient's breathing is insufficient (respiratory failure) or has ceased completely (respiratory arrest). The BVM resuscitator is used in order to manually provide mechanical ventilation in preference to mouth-to-mouth resuscitation (either direct or through an adjunct such as a pocket mask).

Where do Catholics go on pilgrimages?
