Question

how should you deliver breaths when using a bag - mask device?
choose the correct answer
1 breath over 3 seconds
2 breaths over 1 second
1 breath over 1 second
2 breaths over 3 seconds

Explanation:

When using a bag - mask device, breaths should be delivered slowly. Each breath should be given over 1 second. Delivering 1 breath over 3 seconds is too slow and may not provide adequate ventilation in a timely manner. Delivering 2 breaths over 1 second is too fast and can lead to gastric inflation. Delivering 2 breaths over 3 seconds is also not the correct standard. The standard is to give each breath (whether in a sequence of breaths) over 1 second.

Answer:

1 breath over 1 second
