Problem
Traditional bag-valve-mask (BVM) devices used during CPR can lead to hyperventilation, causing barotrauma and reduced survival rates in patients experiencing cardiac arrest. Delivering precise and safe tidal volumes with standard BVMs is challenging, even for trained medical personnel.
Solution
Compact Medical Solutions offers the Butterfly BVM, a bag-valve-mask designed to limit tidal volumes and control pressure, aligning with established ventilation guidelines for safer and more effective CPR. The device features an adjustable dial to restrict maximum air output based on patient needs, reducing the risk of hyperventilation and associated injuries. By providing greater control over ventilation parameters, the Butterfly BVM helps medical professionals deliver appropriate air volumes and pressures, improving patient outcomes during emergency resuscitation. The BVM is designed to integrate with standard accessories, offering a familiar workflow for medical professionals.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes paramedics, EMTs, nurses, and other healthcare providers who perform CPR in emergency settings.
Features
- Adjustable tidal volume control via a dial to match patient needs based on Broselow and Handtevy guidelines.
- Variable pop-off valve (PIP dial) for controlling pressure delivered to patients, reducing the risk of barotrauma.
- Compatibility with standard PEEP valves, filters, and ET-CO2 detectors.
- Internal O2 reservoir that delivers a ≥90% oxygen blend without requiring an external reservoir bag.
- Designed to fit all standard patient interfaces.
