Bag Valve Mask Resuscitator | BVM

It is available in adult, pediatric, and infant sizes, each matched to the patient’s lung volume and mask fit. Using the correct size matters: too large a bag can over-inflate a child’s lungs, so match the device to the patient.

Yes. The included oxygen reservoir and tubing connect to an oxygen source so the bag can deliver a high concentration of oxygen with each squeeze. Without oxygen connected, it still ventilates with room air, which is better than no ventilation in an emergency.

It is a disposable, single-patient-use device, which supports infection control between patients, and it is latex-free to reduce allergy risk. For repeated practice, use a dedicated trainer rather than a single-use clinical BVM.

A CPR pocket mask relies on your own breath to ventilate; a bag valve mask uses a squeezable bag, so you can deliver controlled volumes and connect oxygen. This resuscitator includes a CPR mask as well, covering both basic and more advanced ventilation.

Over-ventilation can force air into the stomach. This resuscitator is designed for accurate pressure delivery to help reduce gastric insufflation, and the pliable bag gives you feel for the patient’s lung compliance, so you can ventilate at a controlled rate and volume.
