Putting the P back in CPR

Research shows that often, EMS providers have trouble ventilating patients. In this eye-opening session, Bob reviews the latest data for ventilation in cardiac arrest, and then lays out the incredible findings of his ongoing High-Performance Ventilation workshops. Since 2022, Bob collected data from hundreds of classes, coast to coast, thousands of participants, BLS and ALS Providers. Students performed ventilations on high performance simulators, through the Manual Ventilation Academy while monitoring rate, volume, and pressures. Bob gathered baseline data and then used state-of-the art feedback devices to show ways to improve ventilations and help students develop muscle memory and to use real time feedback during ventilations. After the training, marked skill improvements were recorded in all measured parameters. Bob also did control manikin trials: a real person with a BVM versus mechanical ventilators. The results are very interesting! Come see some sweeping recommendations to put the “P” back in CPR and deliver better ventilation performance in all your patients. Is the answer to better ventilation a new device to make it “safe” or “smart”?. Maybe a new all in one design for BVM? Don’t purchase anything until you hear this talk! From this course Bob has launched the Manual Ventilation Academy dedicated to improving manual ventilation through high performance ventilation workshops.
