Basic Life support to help patient

1. MANUAL
RESPIRATORY
BYPASS

2. History
▶The bag valve mask concept was developed in
1953 by the German engineer, Dr. Holger Hesse,
and his partner, Danish anaesthetist Henning Ruben,
following their initial work on a suction pump.
• The word “AMBU“ came from “
Ambulance ”

3. History
▶They named their resuscitator Ambu bag,and
then formed their own company, also called
Ambu, to manufacture and market it, starting in
1956.
▶This position as first to market has led to the
name Ambu becoming a generic trademark, with
bag valve masks from any manufacturer being
referred to as 'ambu bags'.

4. ⦁ AMBU Bag
⦁ Manual Resuscitator
⦁ Self inflating bag

5. Artificial Manual Breathing Unit
Air Mask Bag Unit

6. ⦁ Adult, Pedia & Infant

7. • A hand held device commonly used to
provide positive pressure ventilation to
patients who are not breathing or not
breathing adequately.
• Using ambu bag to ventilate the patient
is called “ Bagging”.

8. MANUAL RESPIRATORY BYPASS
 It is an essential emergency skill.
 Basic airway management technique allows for
oxygenation and ventilation of patients untill a more
definitive airway can be established and/or in cases
where endotracheal intubation or other definitive
control of the airway is not possible.
 Use of the MRB to ventilate a patient is frequently
called "bagging" the patient

9. PURPOSES
 Additional oxygen may be administrated by
means of tubing from an oxygen source to the
bag.
 It is used as part of CPR when breathing is absent
or inadequate.
 It is also used to temporarily increase oxygen
supply as part of routine respiratory care for a
patient on a ventilator or with a tracheostomy
tube.
 Manually ventilate client when off ventilator
and unable to breath independently

10. ⦁ Respiratory Failure
⦁ Respiratory Arrest
⦁ In case of Ventilator failure
⦁ Transfer of critical patients between wards.
⦁ In between suctions

11. ⦁ Paralysis
⦁ Complete upper Airway Obstruction

12. INDICATIONS OF MRB???
▶ Acute respiratory distress or arrest requiring assistance
to reach adequate ventilation.
▶ No respirations or brief irregular, 'gasping' breaths.
▶ Unconsciousness.
▶ transfer the patient one unit to other unit

13. COMPONENTS OF MRB….
I. Ambu Bag
II. Valve
III. Face Mask

14. SELF INFLATING BAG

15. AMBU BAG AND MASK

16. SELF INFLATING BAG

17. AMBU BAG
▶ Itis a hand-held device used to provide positive pressure
ventilation to a patient who is not breathing or who is
breathing inadequately.
▶ Is a normal part of a resuscitation kit for trained
professionals, such as ambulance crew.
▶ The device is self-filling with air, although additional oxygen
(o2 ) Can be added.

18. AMBU

19. PARTS OF AMBU BAG

20. VALVE
▶ Valve prevents the backflow of air or secretions into the bag.
▶ Prevents the bag from contamination.

21. BVM sizes
 500cc bag if weight less than 60 pounds
 800 cc bag if weight less than 100 pounds
 1200 cc if the weight over 100 pounds

22. •BVM not connected to Oxygen
& reservoir (Room Air)
21%
•BVM connected to Oxygen
source of 5-10L
•BVM with reservoir & 15L of
oxygen connection
40-60%
100%

23. Additional components
Filters
▶ A filter is sometimes placed between the mask and the bag .
▶ Can be placed before or after the valve
▶ To prevent contamination of the bag.

24. Positive end-expiratory pressure
▶ Some devices have PEEP valve connectors, for better positive
airway pressure maintenance.
▶ A covered port may be incorporated into the valve assembly, to
allow inhalatory medicines to be injected into the airflow.

25. Additional components
contd......
Pressure relief valves
▶ A pressure relief valve (often known as a "pop-up
valve") is often included in pediatric versions, and
sometimes in adult versions, to prevent overinflation of
the lungs.

26. Additional components
contd......
 A bypass clip is typically incorporated into this valve
assembly, in case medical protocol calls for inflation at a
rate beyond the maximum pressure cuttoff allowed by the
pop-up valve.
 A connection for a pressure or flow meter may be included
in the valve or mask assembly. Some bags have a built-in
strap to assist the pressure provider.

27. Additional components
contd......
Device storage features
▶ Some bags are designed to collapse for storage.
▶ A bag not designed to store collapsed may lose
elasticity when stored compressed for long periods,
reducing its effectiveness.

28. How does it work?????
 The BVM directs the gas inside it via a one-
way valve when compressed by a rescuer;
 the gas is then delivered through a mask and into the
patient's trachea, bronchus and into the lungs.
 In order to be effective, a bag valve mask must
deliver between 500 and 800 millilitersof air to an
adult patient's lungs,

29. Contd…..
▶ If oxygen is provided through the tubing and if the
patient's chest rises with each inhalation 400 ml may
still be adequate.
indicating that adequate amounts of air are reaching
the lungs

30. Contd….
 For an adequate respiratory rate
 Squeezing the bag once every 5 seconds for an
adult
 once every 3 seconds for an infant or child
 12 respirations per minute in an adult
 20 per minute in a child or infant

31. FACE MASK
 An oxygen mask provides a method to
transfer breathing oxygen gas from a storage tank to
the lungs.
 Oxygen masks may cover the nose and mouth (oral
nasal mask) or the entire face (full-face mask).
 They may be made of plastic, silicone, or rubber.

33. Face mask

34. MASK

35. Features of silicon face
mask
▶ Ambu Silicone Face Masks are self-inflating for an easy
and tight seal. The cuff pressure may be regulated.
▶ The mask size 0 with boring impedes ventilation
pressures higher than approx. 40 cm H2O, enabling
ventilation with an Ambu Mark IV Resuscitator on small
children with a body weight down to approx. 15 kg.
(approx. 3 years).

36. Features of silicon face
mask contd..
▶ The transparent dome of the Ambu Silicone Face Mask
enables you to check the patient's condition, e.g.
bleeding, vomit, spontaneous breathing and cyanosis.
▶ The transparent dome (sizes 6, 5, 4, 2 and 0) is made of
unbreakable plastic (polysulphone).

37. Features of silicon face mask contd..
▶ The texture of the surface of the Ambu Silicone Face
Mask ensures that the cuff does not slip, and makes it
comfortable to hold during use.
▶ The dome has been designed to allow a soft rest for the
thumb, thus creating an easier grip and ensuring a tight
fit on the face (sizes 6, 5, 4 and 2).

38. Specifications of face
mask....
▶ The Ambu Silicone Face Masks are made of latex free
material. Mask dome and cuff are made of polysulphone
and silicone, respectively.
▶ The buttoned-on cuff enables easy removal for cleaning.
The mask can be autoclaved repeatedly at 134°C.
▶ The Ambu Silicone Mask is available in 6 sizes: sizes 6,
5, 4, 2, 0, and 0 with boring.

39. Bag valve mask
.
▶ Part 1 is the flexible mask to seal over the patients face,
▶ part 2 has a filter and valve to prevent backflow into the bag
itself (prevents patient deprivation and bag contamination)
▶ part 3 is the soft bag element which is squeezed to expel
air to the patient

40. ARTICLES
A tray containing
▶ Hand held Ambu bag.
▶ Cuffed face mask or tracheostomy adapter.
▶ Oxygen source, if needed.
▶ Oxygen tubing.
▶ Gloves
▶ Mask
▶ Gauze
▶ Gown .

41. PROCEDURE
1. Check for responsiveness and adequacy of
breathing.
▶ If unresponsive or not breathing, instruct someone to
call EMS, and begin CPR.
▶ Call for assistance or instruct someone to bring
emergency equipment including AED and oxygen (if
available) and a manual resuscitation bag and mask.

42. Procedure contd..
2. Position head to open airway using the head tilt-chin lift
method. (Use the jaw thrust only if neck injury is
suspected.)
▶ Do mouth-to-mouth resuscitation while awaiting arrival
of the resuscitation bag and mask.
3.As soon as the bag and mask arrive, place the mask
with bag attached over the mouth and nose to make a
tight seal.
▶ Attach oxygen tubing if available.

43. Procedure contd…
4.Compress the bag at the prescribed rate with
slow even motions. Allow the bag to reinflate
between compressions.
5. It is helpful to have two people, one to position
the head and hold the mask firmly in place to
keep a tight seal, the other person to compress
the bag with two hands.

44. Procedure contd…
▶ If only one person is available to provide breaths
he/she may hold the mask in place with one hand and
compress the bag with the other, steadying the bag
against the leg if necessary.
▶ Or he/she may hold the mask with two hands if
necessary and hold the bag and compress it against the
body with the upper arm. It is important to maintain a
tight seal with the mask at all times.

45. Procedure contd…
5. In case 2 persons are there, one to position the head
and hold the mask firmly in place to keep a tight seal,
the other person to compress the bag with two hands.

46. Procedure contd…
6. Watch to see if the chest rises with each breath. If
not, reposition the head and assure there is a good
seal of the mask over the mouth and nose.
7. Rate for breaths:
a. Under 8 years of age: one breath every three (3)
seconds
b. 8 years of age and older: one breath every five (5)
seconds

47. Procedure contd…
▶ Breathing rate per minute
▶ 20 – 24 for infants
▶ 16 – 20 for children
▶ 12 – 16 for adolescents
8.Continue use of resuscitator until individual is able to
adequately breath on his/her own or until EMS arrives
to take over.
9. Document the incident including all pertinent
information.
