Mercury's Only One Small Adult bag Adds Value, Offering BETTER Patient Outcomes...
How oftern are patients either ventilated too fast, with too high of a pressure or too much volume? When it comes to tidal volume less is better when comparing an adult size (1600ml) self-inflating bag/BVM to a small adult (1000ml) bag. Smaller self-inflating bags can help reduce the incidence of over inflation, gastric distention and regurgitation. It is becoming more evident that larger tidal volumes and ventilation rates can be associated with these complications whereas smaller tidal volumes are becoming safer and more acceptable.
