  2. Bag valve mask - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bag_valve_mask

    The BVM consists of a flexible air chamber (the "bag", roughly 30 cm in length), attached to a face mask via a shutter valve. When the face mask is properly applied and the "bag" is squeezed, the device forces air through into the patient's lungs; when the bag is released, it self-inflates from its other end, drawing in either ambient air or a ...

    Most commercial aircraft that operate at high flight altitudes are pressurized at a maximum cabin altitude of approximately 8,000 feet. On most pressurized aircraft, if cabin pressurization is lost when the aircraft is flying at an altitude above 4,267 m (14,000 feet), compartments containing the oxygen masks will open automatically, either above or in front of the passenger and crew seats ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resuscitator

    A resuscitator is a device using positive pressure to inflate the lungs of an unconscious person who is not breathing, in order to keep them oxygenated and alive. [citation needed] There are three basic types: a manual version (also known as a bag valve mask) consisting of a mask and a large hand-squeezed plastic bulb using ambient air, or with supplemental oxygen from a high-pressure tank.

  8. Basic airway management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_airway_management

    Pocket Masks are used to provide rescue breaths similar to a bag valve mask, but the rescuer is using their own breath instead of a bag. The device consists of a mask attached to a one-way filter valve. The filter valve prevents bodily fluids such as blood vomit from entering the rescuer's mouth. The mask is secured to the face with both hands ...

  9. Airway management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airway_management

    Excessive facial hair, severe burns, and maxillofacial trauma may prevent acquisition of a good mask seal, rendering bag-valve mask ventilation difficult. Edema of the airway can make laryngoscopy difficult, and therefore in those with suspected thermal burns, intubation is recommended in attempts to quickly secure an airway prior to ...
