Measuring ventilation in pediatric simulations using a novel adjustable bag-valve-mask resuscitator: a comparative study with the Butterfly BVM and the traditional Ambu bag
The Butterfly BVM significantly improves delivery of MV and Vt during simulated pediatric resuscitations compared to a traditional BVM. Its adjustable controls for respiratory parameters offer a promising solution to prevent volutrauma during pediatric ventilation. Further studies are warranted to validate these findings in real-world settings.
