How you apply bag mask device?

Answer 1

To apply a bag-mask device, first ensure the patient is in a supine position and open their airway using the head-tilt, chin-lift maneuver or jaw-thrust if a spinal injury is suspected. Place the mask over the patient’s mouth and nose, creating a tight seal with your thumb and index finger. Squeeze the bag slowly while watching for chest rise, ensuring that the mask remains sealed. Continue delivering breaths at a rate of 10-12 per minute for adults, adjusting as necessary based on the patient's response.
