Evaluation of Bag-Valve-Mask Ventilation in Manikin Studies: What Are the Current Limitations?
Table 3
Ventilation parameter values measured during all the 5-minute ventilation tests (
), realized with 140 participants ventilating with two different BVM.
| Variable | Mean (SD) | Lower quartile | Upper quartile |
| Instantaneous ventilation rate (, bpm) | 24.09 (9.47) | 17.20 | 29.09 | Tidal volume (, mL) | 333.94 (124.19) | 245.60 | 419.95 | BVM insufflation volume (, mL) | 590.20 (193.31) | 458.11 | 723.40 | Gastric tidal volume (, mL) | 37.58 (25.13) | 18.92 | 52.43 | Lung peak flow (, L⋅min−1) | 39.99 (16.53) | 28.40 | 50.16 | BVM peak flow (, L⋅min−1) | 69.26 (28.07) | 49.16 | 85.92 | Gastric peak flow (, L⋅min−1) | 5.35 (4.33) | 2.53 | 7.34 |
