How to Choose the Right BVM Size?

Pediatric BVMs come in various sizes to accommodate different age groups. The size of the BVM should be appropriate for the child’s age and size:
Infants: Typically use a BVM with a smaller bag (around 250-500 mL).
Children: May require a larger bag (500-1000 mL).
Using the correct size ensures effective ventilation and reduces the risk of barotrauma.
