Abstract
INTRODUCTION Bag-Valve-Device (BVD) is the most frequently used device for pre-oxygenation and ventilation during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). A minimal expired fraction of oxygen (FeO2) above 0.85 is recommended during pre-oxygenation while insufflated volume (VTi) should be reduced during manual ventilation. The objective was to compare the performances of different BVD in simulated conditions. METHODS Nine BVD were evaluated during pre-oxygenation: spontaneous breathing patients were simulated on a test lung (mild and severe conditions). FeO2 was measured with and without positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP). CO2 rebreathing was evaluated. Then, manual ventilation was performed by 36 caregivers (n = 36) from three hospitals on a specific manikin; same procedure was repeated by 3 caregivers (n = 3) on two human cadavers with three of the nine BVD: In non-CPR scenario and during mechanical CPR with Interrupted Chest Compressions strategy (30:2). RESULTS Pre-oxygenation: FeO2 was lower than 0.85 for three BVD in severe condition and for two BVD in mild condition. FeO2 was higher than 0.85 in eight of nine BVD with an additional PEEP valve (PEEP 5 cmH2O). One BVD induced CO2 rebreathing. Manual ventilation: For non-CPR manual ventilation, mean VTi was within the predefined lung protective range (4-8 mL/kg PBW) for all BVD on the bench. For CPR manual ventilation, mean VTi was above the range for three BVD on the bench. Similar results were observed on cadavers. CONCLUSIONS Several BVD did not reach the FeO2 required during pre-oxygenation. Manual ventilation was significantly less protective in three BVD. These observations are related to the different BVD working principles.

Abstract
A bag-valve-mask (BVM) is a portable handheld medical device commonly used in airway management and manual ventilation. Outside of the operating theatre, BVM devices are often used to pre-oxygenate spontaneously breathing patients before intubation to reduce the risk of hypoxaemia. Pre-oxygenation is considered adequate when the end-tidal expiratory fraction of oxygen is greater than 0.85. There are reports that some BVM devices fail to deliver a satisfactory inspired oxygen (FiO2) in spontaneously breathing patients due to variability in design. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of oxygen delivery of a broad range of adult and paediatric BVM devices at increasing tidal volumes using a mechanical lung to simulate spontaneous ventilation. The secondary aim was to evaluate the effect of BVM design on performance.Forty BVM devices were evaluated in a laboratory setting as part of a safety assessment requested by HealthShare New South Wales. The oxygen inlet of each BVM device was primed with 100% oxygen (15 l/min) for two min. The BVM device was then attached to the mechanical lung and commenced spontaneous breathing at a fixed respiratory rate of 12 breaths/min with an inspiratory: expiratory ratio of 1:2. For each device FiO2 was measured after two min of spontaneous breathing. This process was repeated with small (250 ml), medium (500 ml) and large (750 ml) tidal volumes simulating adult breathing in adult BVM devices, and small (150 ml), medium (300 ml) and large (450 ml) tidal volumes simulating paediatric breathing in paediatric BVM devices. The test was repeated using up to five BVM devices of the same model (where supplied) at each tidal volume as a manufacturing quality control measure.Eight of the 40 devices tested failed to deliver a FiO2 above 0.85 for at least one tidal volume, and five models failed to achieve this at any measured tidal volume. Concerningly, three of these devices delivered a FiO2 below 0.55. Six of the eight poorly performing devices delivered reducing concentrations of inspired oxygen with increasing tidal volumes. Devices which performed the worst were those with a duckbill non-rebreather valve and without a dedicated expiratory valve.Several BVM devices available for clinical use in Australia did not deliver sufficient oxygen for reliable pre-oxygenation in a spontaneously breathing in vitro model. Devices with a duckbill non-rebreather valve and without a dedicated expiratory valve performed the worst. It is imperative that clinicians using BVM devices to deliver oxygen to spontaneously breathing patients are aware of the characteristics and limitations of the BVM devices, and that the standards for manufacture are updated to require safe performance in all clinical circumstances.

Design and Analysis of a Low-Cost Electronically Controlled Mobile Ventilator, Incorporating Mechanized AMBU Bag, for Patients during COVID-19 Pandemic. JOURNAL OF HEALTHCARE ENGINEERING 2022; 2022:6436818. [PMID: 35368917 PMCID: PMC8968386 DOI: 10.1155/2022/6436818] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2021] [Revised: 02/05/2022] [Accepted: 02/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
The outbreak of novel COVID-19 has severely and unprecedentedly affected millions of people across the globe. The painful respiratory distress caused during this disease calls for external assistance to the victims in the form of ventilation. The most common types of artificial ventilating units available at the healthcare facilities and hospitals are exorbitantly expensive to manufacture, and their number is fairly inadequate even in the so-called developed countries to cater to the burning needs of an ever-increasing number of ailing human subjects. According to available reports, without the provision of ventilation, the novel COVID-19 patients are succumbing to their ailments in a huge number of cases. This colossal problem of the availability of ventilator units can be addressed to a great extent by readily producible and cost-effective ventilating units that can be used on those suffering patients during an acute emergency and in the absence of conventional expensive ventilators at hospitals and medical care units. This paper has made an attempt to design and simulate a simple, yet effective, mechanized ventilator unit, which can be conveniently assembled without a profuse skillset and operated to resuscitate an ailing human patient. The stepper motor-controlled kinematic linkage is designed to deliver the patient with a necessitated discharge of air at optimum oxygen saturation through the AMBU bag connected in a ventilation circuit. With the associated code on MATLAB, the motor control parameters such as angular displacement and speed are deduced according to the input patient conditions (age group, tidal volume, breathing rate, etc.) and thereafter fed to the controller that drives the stepper motor. With a proposed feedback loop, the real-time static and dynamic compliance, airway resistance values can be approximately determined from the pressure variation cycle and fed to the controller unit to adjust the tidal volume as and when necessary. The simplistic yet robust design not only renders easy manufacturability by conventional and rapid prototyping techniques like 3D printing at different scales but also makes the product easily portable with minimal handling difficulty. Keeping the motto of Health for All as envisioned by the WHO, this low-cost indigenously engineered ventilator will definitely help the poor and afflicted towards their right to health and will help the medical professionals buy some time to manage the patient with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) towards recovery. Moreover, this instrument mostly includes readily available functional units having standard specifications and can be considered as standard bought-out items.

Abstract
Background Self-Inflating Resuscitation Bags (SIRB) are common and essential tools in airway management and ventilation. They are often used in resuscitation and emergency anaesthesia outside the operating theatre. There is a common notion that all SIRBs applied with a tight sealed mask will deliver close to 100 % oxygen during spontaneous breathing. The aim of the study was to measure the oxygen delivery of six commonly used SIRBs in a mechanical spontaneous breathing adult in vitro model. Methods Three SIRBs of each of the six models were evaluated for oxygen delivery during simulated breathing with an adult mechanical lung. The test was repeated three times per device (54 tests in total). The breathing profile was fixed to a minute volume of 10 L/min, a tidal volume of 500 mL and the SIRBs supplied with an oxygen fresh gas flow of 15 L/min. The fraction of delivered oxygen (FDO2) was measured over a three-minute period. Average FDO2 was calculated and compared at 30, 60 and 90 s. Results At 90 s all models had reached a stable FDO2. Average FDO2 at 90 s; Ambu Oval Plus 99,5 %; Ambu Spur II 99,8 %; Intersurgical BVM Resuscitator 76,7 %; Laerdal Silicone 97,3 %; Laerdal The Bag II 94,5 % and the O-Two Smart Bag 39,0 %. All differences in FDO2 were significant apart from the two Ambu models. Conclusions In simulated spontaneous breathing, four out of six (by Ambu and Laerdal) Self-Inflating Resuscitation Bags delivered a high fraction of oxygen while two (Intersurgical and O-two) underperformed in oxygen delivery. These large variations confirm results reported in other studies. It is our opinion that underperforming Self-Inflating Resuscitation Bags might pose a serious threat to patients’ health if used in resuscitation and anaesthesia. Manufacturers of Self-Inflating Resuscitation Bags rarely provide information on performance for spontaneous breathing. This poses a challenge to all organizations that need their devices to deliver adequate oxygen during spontaneous breathing.

Abstract
Recent surges in COVID-19 cases have generated an urgent global demand for ventilators. This demand has led to the development of numerous low-cost ventilation devices, but there has been less emphasis on training health professionals to use these new devices safely. The aim of this technical report is twofold: first, to describe the design and manufacturing process of the automated inflating resuscitator (AIR), a 3D-printed ventilator training device which operates on the principle of pushing a bag valve mask; second, to present a simulation scenario that can be used for training health professionals how to use this and similar, low-cost, 3D-printed ventilators in the context of ventilator shortages caused by COVID-19. To this end, the AIR was designed in an expedient manner in accordance with basic functionality established by the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (United Kingdom) for provisional clinical use in light of COVID-19.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Preoxygenation prior to intubation aims to increase the duration of safe apnea by causing denitrogenation of the functional residual capacity, replacing this volume with a reservoir of oxygen. In the operating room (OR) the criterion standard for preoxygenation is an anesthetic circuit and well-fitting face mask, which provide a high fractional inspired oxygen concentration (FiO2 ). Outside of the OR, various strategies exist to provide preoxygenation. The objective was to evaluate the effectiveness of commonly used preoxygenation strategies outside of the OR environment. METHODS This was a prospective randomized unblinded study of 30 healthy staff volunteers from a major trauma center emergency department (ED) in Sydney, Australia. The main outcome measure is fractional expired oxygen concentration (FeO2 ) measured after a 3-minute period of tidal volume breathing with seven different preoxygenation strategies. RESULTS The mean FeO2 achieved with the anesthetic circuit was 81.0% (95% confidence interval [CI] = 78.3% to 83.6%), bag-valve-mask (BVM) 80.1% (95% CI = 76.5% to 83.6%), BVM with nasal cannula (NC) 74.8% (95% CI = 72.0% to 77.6%), BVM with positive end-expiratory pressure valve (PEEP) 78.9% (95% CI = 75.4% to 82.3%), BVM + NC + PEEP 75.5% (95% CI = 72.2% to 78.9%), nonrebreather mask (NRM) 51.6% (95% CI = 48.8% to 54.4%), and NRM + NC 57.1% (95% CI = 52.9% to 61.2%). Preoxygenation efficacy with BVM strategies was significantly greater than NRM strategies (p < 0.01) and noninferior to the anesthetic circuit. CONCLUSIONS In healthy volunteers, the effectiveness of BVM preoxygenation was comparable to the anesthetic circuit (criterion standard) and superior to preoxygenation with NRM. The addition of NC oxygen, PEEP, or both did not improve the efficacy of the BVM device.

Abstract
Manual ventilation is a vital procedure, which remains difficult to achieve for patients who require ventilatory support. It has to be performed by experienced healthcare providers that are regularly trained for the use of bag-valve-mask (BVM) in emergency situations. We will give in this paper, a historical view on manual ventilation's evolution throughout the last decades and describe the technical characteristics, advantages, and hazards of the main devices currently found in the market. Artificial ventilation has developed progressively and research is still going on to improve the actual devices used. Throughout the past years, a brand-new generation of ventilators was developed, but little was done for manual ventilation. Many adverse outcomes due to faulty valve or misassembly were reported in the literature, as well as some difficulties to ensure efficient insufflation according to usual respiratory parameters. These serious incidents underline the importance of BVM system routine check and especially the unidirectional valve reassembly after sterilization, by only experienced and trained personnel. Single use built-in devices may prevent disassembly problems and are safer than the reusable ones. Through new devices and technical improvements, the safety of BVM might be increased.

Abstract
OBJETIVO: O reanimador manual autoinflável é um dispositivo que fornece ventilação com pressão positiva. Pesquisas mostram que, apesar da padronização dos reanimadores manuais autoinfláveis pela American Society for Testing and Materials, diversos fatores afetam o desempenho da ventilação, porém, os resultados são conflitantes. O objetivo desse estudo foi verificar as evidências dos fatores que influenciam a ventilação pulmonar com reanimadores manuais infantil/adulto por meio de uma revisão sistemática da literatura. FONTES DE DADOS: Foram incluídos artigos indexados nas bases Medline, Lilacs e SciELO publicados entre janeiro de 1986 e março de 2011. Utilizaram-se as palavras-chaves: "reanimador manual", "ressuscitador manual", "ventilação manual", "ventilação com pressão positiva", em inglês e português, além de "bag-valve". SÍNTESE DOS DADOS: Foram selecionados 45 artigos, sendo a maioria experimental. Os trabalhos compararam os reanimadores manuais por marcas, modelos e analisaram as características dos profissionais que os utilizam. Estudos verificaram que a eficácia da ventilação com os reanimadores manuais depende da marca, modelo e características funcionais do aparelho utilizado, assim como formação, treinamento e experiência do profissional que os manipula. Outros fatores que podem influenciar são a forma de compressão dos reanimadores manuais, o uso da válvula limitadora de pressão e o fluxo de oxigênio fornecido aos aparelhos. CONCLUSÕES: A variabilidade nos parâmetros ventilatórios fornecidos durante a ventilação com reanimadores manuais não permite uniformizar a técnica, o que prejudica a reanimação cardiopulmonar. Apesar da maioria dos reanimadores manuais parecer estar de acordo com padrões internacionais, os equipamentos devem ser avaliados antes de utilizados no ambiente clínico. Pouco se sabe sobre os modelos pediátricos e neonatais.

Abstract
Patients requiring emergency airway management are at great risk of hypoxemic hypoxia because of primary lung pathology, high metabolic demands, anemia, insufficient respiratory drive, and inability to protect their airway against aspiration. Tracheal intubation is often required before the complete information needed to assess the risk of periprocedural hypoxia is acquired, such as an arterial blood gas level, hemoglobin value, or even a chest radiograph. This article reviews preoxygenation and peri-intubation oxygenation techniques to minimize the risk of critical hypoxia and introduces a risk-stratification approach to emergency tracheal intubation. Techniques reviewed include positioning, preoxygenation and denitrogenation, positive end expiratory pressure devices, and passive apneic oxygenation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the oxygen outflow delivered by seven different models of manually operated self-inflating resuscitation bags (with and without an oxygen reservoir connected), which were tested using different oxygen supply rates without manipulating the bag, by simulating their use in patients breathing spontaneously. METHODS The oxygen outflow was measured using a wall oxygen flow meter and a flow meter/respirometer attached to the bag, together with another flow meter/respirometer attached to the patient connection port. The resuscitation bags that allow the connection of an oxygen reservoir were tested with and without this device. All resuscitation bags were tested using oxygen supply rates of 1, 5, 10, and 15 L/min. Statistical analyses were performed using analysis of variance and t-tests. RESULTS The resuscitation bags that allow the connection of an oxygen reservoir presented a greater oxygen outflow when this device was connected. All resuscitation bags delivered a greater oxygen outflow when receiving oxygen at a rate of 15 L/min. However, not all models delivered a sufficient oxygen outflow even when the two previous conditions were satisfied. CONCLUSIONS Of the resuscitation bags studied, those that allow the connection of an oxygen reservoir must have this reservoir connected to the bag when used as a source of oxygen in nonintubated spontaneously breathing patients. All of the models studied should receive oxygen at a rate > 15 L/min. It is not safe to use manually operated self-inflating resuscitation bags for this purpose without knowing their characteristics.

In this application, the bag is not compressed and oxygen is assumed to flow freely from the patient outlet through a mask positioned loosely over the patient's face. We tested 11 resuscitators to determine the delivery of oxygen from the patient outlet using different inlet flows. DESIGN Bench test. SETTING A pediatric intensive care unit. INTERVENTIONS Patient outlet flow was measured at inlet flows of 5, 10, and 15 L/min at two different orientations of the reservoir valve assembly (upright and inverted). MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Patient outlet flow varied between resuscitators but was always less than the inlet flow and, in some cases, was as little as approximately 20% of the inlet flow. As the inlet flow rate was increased, the percentage of outlet flow that a patient received decreased, particularly in the upright position. At inlet flows of 5, 10, and 15 L/min, patient outlet flow ranged from 1.1 to 4.6 L/min, 1.6 to 5.1 L/min, and 2.0 to 6.5 L/min, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Self-inflating resuscitators deliver a significantly lower flow of oxygen than the provided inlet flow and should not be relied on to deliver a precise amount of flow of oxygen to spontaneously breathing patients.
