What does bvm stand for?
A bag valve mask (also known as a BVM or Ambu bag) is a hand-held device used to provide positive pressure ventilation to a patient who is not breathing or who is breathing inadequately. The device is a normal part of a resuscitation kit for trained professional, such as ambulance crew. The BVM is frequently used in hospitals, and is an essential part of a crash cart. The device is used extensively in the operating room to ventilate an anaesthetised patient in the minutes before a mechanical ventilator is attached. The device is self-filling with air, although additional oxygen (O2) can be added.Use of the BVM to ventilate a patient is frequently called "bagging" the patient.[1] Bagging is regularly necessary in medical emergencies when the patient's breathing is insufficient (respiratory failure) or has ceased completely (respiratory arrest). The BVM resuscitator is used in order to manually provide mechanical ventilation in preference to mouth-to-mouth resuscitation (either direct or through an adjunct such as a pocket mask).

When you use the BVM how much air are you deliver to the patinet in one squeeze?
In the adult patient, the volume is 500 to 1000 cc's/ml The percentage is 95% without an advanced airway 100% with ETT, or combi.
What is the preferred means of providing artificial ventilation by a healthcare provider to a nonbreathing patient?
The preferred order is as follows: 1.) Mouth-to-Mask Ventilation. 2.) BVM with two people. 3.) BVM with one person. 4.) Flow-Restricted, Oxygen-Powered Ventillation device. Note: #4 is the last because you cannot control the amount of air you push into the patient, it cannot be used on children, and you cannot feel the compliance of your ventilation efforts. This puts this method as a last resort when the above three options are available.
How many cc's of air does the pediatric bvm hold?
