How is Positive Pressure Ventilation Administered?
PPV can be administered using various devices such as a bag-valve-mask (BVM) system or more advanced mechanical ventilators. The healthcare provider places a mask over the infant's nose and mouth or inserts an endotracheal tube into the trachea. The device is then used to deliver breaths at a controlled rate and pressure. Proper technique and monitoring are essential to ensure effective ventilation and avoid complications like pneumothorax.
