CPR Mask Response
Heart disease and sudden cardiac arrests in people around the world are rapidly on the increase due to a number of health problems. Knowing how to address the situation on how to perform CPR including the removal of the ventilation mask from the packaging to applying the mask correctly and performing the CPR correctly can be the difference between life and death. When a single rescuer without any CPR training when faced with the problem of performing CPR can face many problems, these problems can be from gastric insufflation, aspiration along with the problem of attempting to position and opening the airway also along with the problems of applying the mask with the appropriate face seal. With all these complications this can increase the time spent trying to provide …show more content…
(Vincent-Lambert, 05/09/2015) The case study precise minute ventilation delivery using a bag-valve mask and audible feedback shows that hyperventilation is a very common occurrence in in-hospital and out of hospital surroundings. This problem still occurs when the bag-valve mask (BVM) is still applied, the bag-valve mask or any CPR mask for that matter is a vital tool in the emergency department. The bag-valve mask was firstly introduced into the market in 1955 and over the years there have been very few changes to the shapes or the basic mechanics to the device. Over the years it has been suggested that excessive positive pressure ventilation applied during CPR may be harmful, in the case of CPR to the airways it is best to have a constant ventilation rate. With a constant ventilation rate of 500 to 600 mL for an adult this can prevent problems like gastric distension, aspiration pneumonia, and high intrathoracic pressure. (Precise minute ventilation delivery using a bag-valve mask, 2011). The face mask is the simplest form of CPR
