The Problem
- The manual resuscitator, also known as the bag valve mask (BVM), is the standard means of providing emergency ventilatory support.
- Poor manual ventilation technique is a well-documented problem that occurs irrespective of a provider’s qualifications, training, experience, and confidence.
- There are minimal safeguards on the way a provider can ventilate with a BVM. This results in high provider variability in breath delivery and can lead to serious complications.1
High Provider Variability
Solution
98%
Of responders delivered at least one breath that was inadequate or excessive per 90-second period.1
71%
Of the time, air enters the stomach when ventilating the lungs with a manual resuscitator.2
Sotair
- Air enters the stomach (gastric insufflation) at peak pressures crossing 20-22 cmH2O.
- Sotair blocks the flow of air at 55 L/min. For an adult with normal lung compliance and resistance, this corresponds to a maximum pressure of approximately 20 cmH2O.
- Adult Sotair™ Device received 510 (k) clearance from the US FDA for minimizing gastric insufflation.
- Because Sotair functions based on flow and not pressure, it can safely ventilation patients with a collapsed lung causing lower compliance or obstructed airway with a high resistance.

safeBVM’s device does limit pressure delivered and can be utilized with monitoring devices if needed. This inexpensive accessory to manual ventilation is a must at reducing harmful pressure during emergency care in and out of the hospital. Once approved, this device will be a tool that Respiratory Therapists (RTs) around the world will utilize to provide a safe means for resuscitation. I look forward to a successful collaboration that can assist in making manual ventilation safer in the future
