2018年12月29日 · Short answer: NRB if the patient is breathing, BVM if the patient is not. Actual answer: It depends. The NRB is an oxygen delivery device only. The patient has to moving air adequately for it to be effective. The BVM is a ventilatory device. It provides assisted ventilations to a patient without an adequate minute volume or not moving air at all.

2011年7月11日 · BVM is used when the RATE is not high enough to support life. NRB is used when the RATE is high enough but the body is not absorbing the oxygen properly. An OPA is used when there is no gag reflex in an unconscious patient with an unprotected airway.

A BVM is used to supply positive pressure ventilations, for either an apneic patient or other inadequate ventilation (low or high or shallow). A NRB is the standard for oxygen delivery as it has the largest range, whereas a cannula is used for patients that can’t tolerate a NRB or only need a little bit of oxygen.

2016年3月2日 · so non-rebreathers are used for patients who are currently breathing and BVM are used for physical ventilations, basically your breathing for the patient

2023年8月21日 · To put it simply, inadequate ventilation requires a BVM and inadequate breathing requires an NRB. With some exceptions, if they are breathing on their own but simply not getting enough oxygen, you just give them an NRB. If they are unconscious and breathing inadequately or not breathing, bag em.

Study objective: Recent data suggest that emergency airway preoxygenation with a bag-valve-mask (BVM) device (held with a tight mask seal but without squeezing the bag) is superior to a nonrebreather (NRB) mask at standard oxygen flow rates. We seek to determine whether preoxygenation with an NRB mask with flush rate oxygen (>40 L/min by fully ...

2018年11月14日 · Proper BVM technique is composed of three main principles: 1) consistent mask seal; 2) proper tidal volume; and, 3) controlled rate. Mask seal is best optimized by using a two-person technique.

2024年6月28日 · Preoxygenation before induction of anesthesia increases the amount of oxygen in the lungs and decreases the risk of hypoxemia by prolonging the safe apneic time. Most patients receive preoxygenation in the form of non-rebreather (NRB) masks which do not provide positive pressure or ventilatory support.

2017年8月1日 · Preoxygenation using a BVM is superior to NRB alone prior to intubation in the setting of emergency airway management. The addition of a nasal cannula to NRB with or without mask leak or BVM with mask leak improves end-tidal oxygen concentration

2019年2月10日 · NRB is to increase oxygen levels in someone whose tidal volume is fine. BVM is to increase both oxygen levels and tidal volume when both are deficient. Someone unconscious could be breathing perfectly fine or not breathing at all...or anywhere in between.
