1.2 Lab Activities
1.2 BVM Lab Activity
- Explain at least three differences between self-inflating and flow-inflating resuscitation bags. When would one be used over the other?
- Using a clear filter, breathe (and have your lab partner give you breaths while you pretend to be apneic) on both the self-inflating and flow -inflating resuscitation bags. Describe how you felt and explain the differences.
- In a separate sheet of paper, draw a BVM (See Figure 4[1]) as shown below and label the parts of an adult self-inflating resuscitation bag using this word bank: Face Mask, Inlet Port and Pressure Release Valve, Oxygen Reservoir, Self-inflating Bag, Oxygen Connector Tubing, Expiratory Valve.
Figure 4. BVM. - Locate a PEEP valve and attach it to an adult self-inflating resuscitation bag. How does it work? When and why would you use it?
- In the laboratory classroom, with a lab partner, practice the manual resuscitator competency using an airway manikin.
