Rescue Breaths: Demystifying the Physiology of Safe and Effective BVM Ventilation

Melody Bishop helps us simplify the physiology of bag-valve-mask (BVM) techniques. This episode highlights common mistakes like insufficient exhalation time, discusses driving pressure, and explains the importance of proper technique to avoid lung injury. We also explore the nuances of endotracheal tube size, laminar flow, and the transition from BVM to mechanical ventilation. From FASTCAN in Calgary this episode will enhance your understanding and skills in respiratory care.
