New Orleans EMS Airway Lecture Series: Lecture 2Oxygenation and Bag-Mask Ventilation Jeffrey M. Elder, M.D. Deputy Medical Director
100% Nonrebreather?? • What is the Fi02 that this device will deliver to your patient? • Approaches 70% • A tight fitting BVM in a spontaneously breathing patient will deliver close to 100% Fi02
Patients that Desaturate • Extremes of Age – young and old • Co-Morbid patients – CHF, COPD, DM, Chronic illness • Pregnancy • Morbid Obesity
Successful BMV • Depends on 3 things • A patent airway • Adequate mask seal • Too large a mask better than too small • Proper ventilation
What type of mask to you have? • Duck Bill inspiratory valve • Permits constant one way flow of oxygen • One way expiratory valve • Prevents entrainment of room air/accumulation of carbon dioxide • Improves oxygenation and Fi02 can approach 97%
Goals of using the BVM • BVM seal only if saturations < 100% with NRB • 100% BVM bagging if saturations less than 90% or failure with BVM seal
Bagging the Patient • Insufflates and distends the stomach increasing the risk of emesis and aspiration • If performed – Use 1 hand • If spontaneously breathing, use a mask seal technique
Ventilation • Standard BVM = 1500cc of oxygen • Delivering the entire volume will insufflate the stomach • Goal = Deliver 10-12 reduced tidal breaths (500cc) per minute without insufflating the stomach • Use 1 Handed Technique
Ventilation • High Airway pressure from: • Short inspiratory time • Large tidal volumes • Incomplete airway opening • Increased airway resistance • Decreased compliance
Ventilation • Minimizing Gastric Inflation: • Deliver each breath over 1 second • Tidal volume 500-600cc to produce chest rise • Sellick’s maneuver • Pressing cricoid cartilage posteriorly • May impair ventilation and distort visualization
