PRODUCT INFORMATION

MED-TAC · BLS Airway & Ventilation

Adult Bag Valve Mask

A manual pulmonary resuscitator for delivering positive-pressure ventilation to an adult who is not breathing or is breathing inadequately — no electricity, no batteries. Two mask sizes: Size 5 for average to larger adults, Size 4 for smaller adults. 10 oz with the reservoir bag attached.

A BVM that will not seal is a BVM that is not ventilating. Pick the mask size for the face in front of you, not the one that was already in the bag.

What's Included

Two size options, and the mask is what differs between them. Tap the size you are ordering — the SKUs are different.

VIEW ▾Adult - Mask Size 5 — average to larger adults · SKU LX-BVM-A-1

1× Self-inflating manual pulmonary resuscitator (BVM) body with patient valve
1× Face mask, Size 5 — sized by the manufacturer for average to larger adults
1× Oxygen reservoir bag, attached — enables oxygen-enriched ventilation when the unit is connected to a supplemental oxygen supply
Standard 15 mm ID / 22 mm OD patient connection, so the unit mates to standard masks, supraglottic airways and endotracheal tube connectors
NOT INCLUDED: No oxygen cylinder, regulator or supply tubing. The reservoir bag does nothing without an oxygen source you supply.
NOT INCLUDED: No oropharyngeal or nasopharyngeal airway, no suction. A BVM is one part of a BLS airway setup, not the whole of it.

▾Who Carries It

BLS providers, EMTs and EMRs, for whom bag-valve-mask ventilation is a core skill and this is the tool it is performed with · Fire and EMS bag builds · Vehicle and facility response kits where the ventilation capability has to work without power · Workplace and campus emergency response teams operating under a medical director · Training programs stocking practice units alongside instruction.

Bag-valve-mask ventilation is a trained psychomotor skill, and it is one of the skills that degrades fastest without practice. Mask seal, hand position, rate and volume control all have to be taught and rehearsed; owning the device does not confer the ability to use it. Correct mask size is not a comfort question either — a leaking mask reduces delivered volume, which is precisely the failure you cannot see happening. Use of a BVM sits inside your certification level, your scope of practice and your medical direction's protocols.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the difference between mask size 4 and mask size 5 for the Adult BVM?

Mask Size 5 is the standard adult face mask for average to larger-framed adults. Mask Size 4 (Small Adult) is designed for smaller adult faces — smaller females, older adolescents, and smaller-framed adults. Proper mask sizing is critical for achieving an adequate face seal. A mask that is too large will have areas of air leak around the face; one that is too small may not cover the nose and mouth adequately. Both sizes accommodate the standard adult BVM body — only the mask changes.

How much air should I deliver with each BVM breath?

For adult patients, the AHA and CoTCCC guidelines recommend delivering approximately 500–600 mL per breath (approximately 6–7 mL/kg for an average 70 kg adult). With a standard adult BVM (1,900 mL bag), this means squeezing approximately one-quarter to one-third of the bag with one hand. Studies have shown that most providers significantly over-ventilate patients when using adult BVMs, which can cause gastric inflation, aspiration, and lung injury. Controlled, deliberate squeezing technique is essential.

Can the MED-TAC Adult BVM be connected to oxygen?

Yes. The MED-TAC Adult BVM includes an oxygen reservoir bag that connects to a supplemental oxygen source. When connected to oxygen at approximately 10–15 LPM, the BVM can deliver approximately 85–90% FiO2 (compared to 21% with room air). Connect the oxygen tubing to the inlet port on the reservoir bag and ensure adequate flow to keep the reservoir inflated. See MED-TAC's oxygen equipment — including the Mini O2 Regulator and Size D Oxygen Cylinder — for a complete oxygen delivery system.

Is a BVM better than an advanced airway for trauma patients?

Per the 2024 CoTCCC airway update, BVM ventilation provides comparable or better outcomes to advanced airways (supraglottic, endotracheal) for many trauma patients in the prehospital setting. A major Japanese study of 649,359 patients found that BVM ventilation was associated with better neurological outcomes than advanced airway placement. CoTCCC does not recommend advanced airway insertion for non-cardiac-arrest trauma patients when adequate BVM ventilation can be maintained. The BVM remains the first-line assisted ventilation tool.

Do I need two people to effectively use a BVM?

Two-person BVM technique is strongly preferred when available. One provider focuses entirely on mask seal (using a two-hand EC-clamp technique), while the second provider squeezes the bag. This greatly improves tidal volume delivery and mask seal quality compared to one-person technique, especially in patients with challenging facial anatomy (beards, facial trauma, unusual anatomy). When only one provider is available, practice one-hand squeeze technique with focused attention on maintaining mask seal — or use an OPA to help maintain airway patency and reduce leak.
