Optimizing Preoxygenation for Prehospital Emergency Anesthesia and Air Medical Transport: A Comparative Study of Bag Refill Valve and Reservoir Bag
Preoxygenation using either a BVM plus RV or BVM15 achieves adequate EtO<sub>2</sub> in healthy volunteers. The addition of NC further enhances rise in EtO<sub>2</sub> levels. Although more research is needed, the RV may be an alternative device to facilitate preoxygenation in air medical services.
