Ventilation with Face Mask and Bag-Valve Device Video

The New England Journal of Medicine in their Videos in Clinical Medicine section have released a video that covers performing positive pressure ventilation with bag-valve and face mask.

This video demonstrates how to perform orotracheal intubation. Specific indications are discussed, along with contraindications, troubleshooting, and complications.

Specific topics covered in the video include:

  • Overview
  • Indications
  • Contraindications
  • Equipment
  • Procedure
  • Complications

The video can be viewed and downloaded at the NEJM. The video also has a PDF summary to accompany it.

Some previous Videos in Clinical Medicine include endotracheal intubation, arterial line insertion, nasogastric tube insertion, lumbar puncture and thoracentesis.

These are great learning/teaching tools and I definitely recommend checking them out.
