Get Insight for Better Patient Care

Manual ventilation is a critical but recognized variable intervention in emergency medicine. Real BVM Help® technology and AccuVent® sensors provide objective, real-time ventilation feedback to help EMS professionals and hospital clinicians deliver more consistent care in high stress environments.

Manual Ventilation Is Difficult to Standardize

Even experienced clinicians benefit from real-time insight. In dynamic field environments, providers must monitor airway management, scene safety, team coordination, and patient assessment at the same time. When clinicians don’t have objective feedback, ventilation rates and volumes can unintentionally drift outside recommended ranges.

The challenges of manual ventilation persist even among trained providers. Aufderheide and Lurie found that rescuers trained and regularly recertified in BLS CPR still had difficulty delivering BVM ventilations at the recommended rate, potentially compromising patient care.¹

The 2025 American Heart Association Guidelines recommend manually ventilating an adult patient at a rate of 10 breaths per minute until spontaneous breathing returns or advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) measures are taken.²

Immediate, Actionable Feedback

Real BVM Help and AccuVent sensors provide immediate, actionable feedback during manual ventilation, supporting providers in delivering consistent care when seconds matter.

Real BVM Help gives providers:

• Real-time ventilation rate monitoring
• Visual and audible feedback cues
• Support for guideline-aligned performance

AccuVent Sensors allow:

• Airway flow monitoring
• Ventilation rate visibility
• Objective performance data
• Integrated analytics for post-event review

Real BVM Help and AccuVent sensors are designed for seamless integration into existing workflows. Attach the sensor to the BVM circuit , deliver manual ventilation as normal, and receive real-time feedback that helps support consistent performance.
