I truly appreciate you taking the time to make such informative clinical skills videos! I love your channel, please keep up the great work!!! :) Also, just as a suggestion, in the future I think it would be very helpful if you could cover different oxygen delivery devices. I'm close to graduating with my BSN and I still don't know why a patient would be on a non-rebreather mask.

[@NurseMinder]

Great idea! Thank you so much for sharing and taking the time to write

[@lorieschultz6985]

On Long Island back in the '70s we called it an ambu-bag which is similar to some of the folks from other countries are still calling it..

[@NurseMinder]

A popular one

[@IcedEarth426]

Do you always want to give a ventilation ONLY on the upstroke/recoil during compressions? Or can you still get decent ventilation even if its during a downstroke compression?

[@NurseMinder]

On the upstroke will get more air in. On the downstroke you will be having to work against pressure

[@AlaFefe]

BVM in regional Australia, and some say Ambu bag.

Hello, Is it necessary to use peep during CPR? If I use peep during CPR, what should peep amount be, set at? Thanks

[@NurseMinder]

You won’t see peep in the community. If it is needed in hospital, it is usually anticipated ahead of time

[@wgtsui]

[@jaysoncolipapa954]

Hello Maam can I know how much volume of oxygen can Ambu bag produces for every pump where made? tnx Maam..

[@NurseMinder]

The volume will depend on how much you squeeze the bag: the concentration of oxygen will depend on how much oxygen is being delivered to the device. Here is a resource. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK441924/

[@jaysoncolipapa954]

thank you maam 👍🙂
