Bag mask ventilation is the cornerstone of airway management. It’s often considered a basic procedure, but there is nothing “basic” about BVM ventilation. Skill acquisition requires extensive training and experience. It’s not pretty, sexy, or glamorous. Most people perform it poorly even though it’s an essential part of good airway management. In this tutorial article, ACLS medical go through some great tips and advice on becoming a BVM master. Great work guys! TLDR: Conclusion: - BVM ventilation is a difficult skill for providers at all levels and specialties. - The traditional CE method is not very effective, and sometimes totally ineffective. - Use ETCO2 as an objective measurement. - Adopt the “two thumbs down” technique - Deliver breaths slowly - Only compress 1/3 of the bag - Give breaths quickly during cardiac arrest, but allow full release of BVM
