Why does 1 second matter when you squeeze a BVM?
Same 500 mL. Different breath.

Squeeze it over 1 second and flow peaks near 50 L/min.
Rush it in half a second and flow peaks near 100 L/min.
Average flow is volume divided by time, so 30 vs 60 L/min. But a hand squeeze speeds up and then slows down, so the peak runs higher than the average.

Higher peak flow means higher peak airway pressure. That can push air into the stomach, injure the lungs and potentially cause a pneumothorax or pneumomediastinum.

The 2025 AHA Guidelines say it may be reasonable to give each breath over 1 second for adults in cardiac arrest without an advanced airway. They list both too little and too much ventilation as Class 3: Harm.

SotairIQ™ shows inspiratory time, peak flow, pressure and volume on every practice breath, so providers can see their 1 second instead of guessing it. On the real bag, Sotair® controls the flow rate of every breath as it is delivered.
Swipe for the takeaway.

"I think the device helps the practitioner be able to really feel and control their rate."

Zach Bowers, Division Chief of EMS at Brownsburg Fire Territory in Indiana, on what Sotair® adds to a standard BVM.
When a squeeze is too fast, Sotair limits the flow and the provider feels it in their hands. The feedback is built into the bag itself. No screen to watch.

SotairIQ™ adds the practice. Providers see their flow, pressure, volume and timing on every training breath and repeat until good technique is automatic.

Thank you, Chief Bowers.

How does a major fire department introduce safer manual ventilation across an entire frontline fleet—without adding operational complexity?

A Top 50 U.S. Fire Department needed a solution that was cost-effective, easy to learn, straightforward to use, and compatible with its existing procedures.

After a successful trial, the department deployed Sotair® across 50 frontline apparatus and adopted SotairIQ™ to help providers build consistency and muscle memory through training.

The department reported:

• Easier, more consistent manual ventilation
• Greater provider confidence
• Streamlined training and workflow
• More effective use of personnel during airway management
• Meaningful operational and financial value

Swipe through to see how a simple, scalable intervention helped this department strengthen manual-ventilation practices across its system.

Why did Murrieta Fire & Rescue choose SafeBVM?

Jennifer Antonucci, RN, EMS Nurse Coordinator, points to a persistent challenge during cardiac arrest care: overventilation.
In a high-stress resuscitation, ventilation can become too fast or forceful. Jennifer describes Sotair® as an important safeguard that helps protect against overventilation during manual ventilation.

We’re grateful to EMS professionals like Jennifer who are committed to strengthening airway-management practices and supporting safer patient care.

Less mental calculation. More attention for patient care.

At MHSRS 2026, Nichole S. Berge, Ph.D., NRP, who researched Sotair and SotairIQ, shared feedback from providers who used a real-time manual ventilation feedback device in a military field hospital setting.

The device’s haptic and visual feedback reduced the need for providers to continually think:

“Am I overventilating?”
“Am I underventilating?”
“Am I counting the breaths correctly?”

By making ventilation performance visible in the moment, Sotair’s real-time feedback can help reduce cognitive load and support safer, more consistent manual ventilation.

In a demanding operational environment, that additional capacity matters.

One hour could change how you think about every breath.
On September 22, join SafeBVM for a free, live CAPCE-accredited workshop exploring the science and practice behind safer, more consistent manual ventilation.

Mastering Flow Control in Manual Ventilation will help participants better understand what influences every BVM squeeze—from flow and pressure to resistance, compliance, volume, and rate.
The session also includes a live SotairIQ™ demonstration showing real-time pressure and flow waveforms and a discussion of the 2025 AHA Guidelines.

🗓 Tuesday, September 22
⏰ 11:00 a.m. PT | 2:00 p.m. ET
🎓 One hour of free CAPCE credit
⚠️ Live attendance required; no recording available

Two generations. Two EMS World Innovation Awards.
The first generation of Sotair® was recognized in 2019, followed by the second-generation device in 2022.

Each milestone reflects SafeBVM’s continued commitment to addressing variability in manual ventilation and developing practical innovations that support EMS professionals when every breath matters.

Because meaningful innovation isn’t simply about creating something new. It’s about creating something that helps providers deliver safer, more consistent care.

Safer manual ventilation requires balancing two risks: overventilation and underventilation.

Arthur Slutsky, CM, MASc, FRSC, FCAHS, MD, Professor Emeritus at the University of Toronto, describes Sotair® as providing “guardrails” that help protect against overinflation while allowing providers to focus on delivering adequate ventilation.

That balance matters. Providers need practical safeguards that support safer, more consistent ventilation without adding complexity when every breath counts.

BVM ventilation is difficult—and cardiac arrest does not make it any easier.

During an FDIC International panel discussion on ventilation in cardiac arrest, Dr. Jeff Beason explains how providers must manage manual ventilation while actively participating in a complex, high-pressure resuscitation.

Even when an advanced airway removes the challenge of maintaining a mask seal, the science behind each breath still matters. Providers must consider flow, pressure, volume, rate, and how consistently ventilation is being delivered.

That is where objective feedback tools can help. Systems like SotairIQ™ provide real-time ventilation intelligence, helping professionals see their performance, recognize variability, and strengthen their technique.
Because safer ventilation begins with understanding what happens during every breath.
