The VT Select is a manual resuscitator with a tactile feedback system. It is recommended by the AHA to deliver 10 BPM of 500-600mL to a standard adult. When activated, the valve restricts the refill of the bag to ~4 seconds. This provides your patient ~10 BPM, helping to eliminate hyperventilation of the patient.
The valve comes pre-activated so the user can begin using the bag immediately once opened. When the valve is activated, press your thumb and three fingers simultaneously together utilizing the finger ridges to deliver approximately 500-600mL to the patient.
Additionally, the BVM is smaller (1200mL) than most adult bags on the market. This helps to reduce the risk of hyperinflation or barotrauma.
When using the VT Select BVM, the delivered volume range for a 1 handed technique is 530mL and 690mL for a 2-handed technique. The VT Select BVM hand strap is designed to be low profile, so a user can grip around the strap if desired.
