Bag Valve Mask(BVM)

A Bag Valve Mask (BVM) is a handheld device used in medical emergencies to provide ventilation to patients who are not breathing adequately or at all. It consists of a self-inflating bag connected to a face mask or endotracheal tube. Medical professionals manually squeeze the bag to deliver oxygen to the patient’s lungs. BVMs are crucial in resuscitation efforts, such as during cardiac arrests, trauma cases, or instances of respiratory failure. They come in various sizes to accommodate patients of different ages, from infants to adults. Proper training is essential for medical personnel to effectively utilize BVMs and ensure optimal patient care.
