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.

Did you know ventilation plays a particularly important role during opioid-associated cardiac arrest?

Opioids can suppress respiratory drive, leading to severe oxygen deprivation before cardiac arrest occurs. Research presented during a SafeBVM workshop discussed many important clinical trials. One clinical trial showed that CPR combining chest compressions with ventilation was associated with 2.44X higher odds of survival than compression-only CPR.

The takeaway: When opioid toxicity is involved, restoring circulation is not be enough. Delivering effective ventilation is critical.

What happens when emergency response professionals experience flow-control training firsthand?

Following our most recent free CAPCE-credit webinar, 91% of respondents said they would recommend Sotair® to their leadership.

That feedback reflects a growing interest in practical tools that can help reduce variability and support safer, more consistent manual ventilation.

Consistency When Every Breath Matters | Hoover Fire Department

Manual ventilation can be difficult to standardize during a high-stress cardiac arrest. Adrenaline, provider handoffs and differences in training can lead to breaths that are delivered too quickly or forcefully—and monitors alone still require someone to recognize and correct the problem.

This case study explores how Hoover Fire Department incorporated Sotair® into its existing BVM workflow. During routine weekly training, providers quickly learned to respond to the device’s tactile and auditory feedback by delivering slower, gentler breaths while maintaining appropriate chest rise.

The department reported:

• Less need for supervisory coaching
• Greater confidence in providers across experience levels
• An added safeguard against returning to stress-driven technique
• No added screen or disruption to existing protocols

Swipe through to see how immediate feedback at the breath level supported greater consistency when it mattered most.

Ventilation in Cardiac Arrest | The Basics Matter

Improving bag-valve-mask ventilation doesn’t always begin with more advanced equipment. It begins with getting the fundamentals right.

During this FDIC discussion, panelists break down three essentials:

✓ Establish and maintain an open airway
✓ Create a proper face-mask seal
✓ Use an effective jaw thrust

A mask leak can make it difficult to know how much ventilation is actually reaching the patient—and attempting to compensate with more gas may introduce even more variability.

Before the squeeze, focus on the airway, seal and technique.

Flow-Limiting vs. Pop-Off Valves | Why the Difference Matters

These valves do not function the same way—and the distinction becomes especially important when ventilating noncompliant lungs.

In this clip from his MHSRS 2026 presentation, “Feasibility of Prolonged Manual Ventilation,” CAPT Mark F. Brady explains how a flow-limiting valve responds when a breath is delivered with excessive flow. Instead of releasing gas like a pop-off valve, it temporarily limits the flow, acting as a forcing function to help providers ventilate within targeted pressure and tidal-volume parameters.

For patients with reduced lung compliance, including those with ARDS, higher pressures may be required to deliver the intended tidal volume. Understanding how each valve functions can help providers make more informed decisions during manual ventilation.

Did you know adequate ventilation during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest was associated with up to 4X greater survival?

But another study raises an equally important point: smaller doesn’t automatically mean safer.

Among 1,994 adult OHCA cases, return of spontaneous circulation occurred in:

• 40% of patients ventilated with standard adult BVMs
• 33% of patients ventilated with small adult BVMs

The takeaway? Avoiding overventilation matters—but so does avoiding underventilation. Bag size alone cannot ensure that every breath is adequate.

Swipe through to explore the research and learn why effective manual ventilation requires proper technique, consistent training, and objective feedback.

Both studies were observational and found associations rather than proving causation.

Why BVM skills aren’t going anywhere.

During an FDIC International panel discussion on ventilation in cardiac arrest, one speaker shared a simple reality: a mechanical ventilator may not be available to every prehospital provider treating a patient in sudden cardiac arrest.

The bag-valve mask will remain an essential tool—and the ability to use it effectively will remain an essential skill.
