The Problem
The manual resuscitator, or bag valve mask (BVM), represents the standard means for providing emergency ventilatory support. Despite its widespread use and the essential role it plays, it remains a skill with high variability regardless of a healthcare provider’s qualifications, training, experience, or confidence.
This may be attributable to inherent challenges in an emergency situation, coupled with the minimal safeguards available with BVM. Such variability can lead to hyperventilation, including overventilation, and/or hypoventilation, including underventilation, each carrying risks of severe complications such as aspiration pneumonia, lung injury, Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) and even death.
The Solution:
The ADULT Sotair® Device
- FDA 510(k) cleared for Adult, single patient use
- Sotair is a flow control valve that fits between a manual resuscitator and a patient mask/airway. The valve prevents flow rates of air from exceeding 55 LPM during manual ventilation
- Regulation of airflow helps reduce peak airway pressures, excessive tidal volumes¹ and excessive breath delivery rates,² minimizing the risk of over-pressurisation, over-ventilation and hyperventilation
- Sotair acts as a ‘Forcing Function,’ constraining the provider to deliver safer manual ventilation with less variability. This is most effective in ensuring system-wide change¹ ³
- 100% activation and flow limiting testing ensures reliability in performance
