The Results Are In: Users Love the ButterflyBVM™ Resuscitator
The ButterflyBVM™ Is Redefining What a Bag Valve Mask Is
“The problem we are trying to solve is hyperventilation and injury from bag valve masks (BVMs),” said Compact Medical Co-founder and CEO Jonathan Merrell, MD.
Traditional BVMs depend entirely on the user’s skill. There is very little built into these devices to help control the volumes, pressures or rates at which breaths are delivered to patients. In nearly every resuscitation attempt, at least one of these variables is often administered incorrectly, resulting in patients receiving too much air. Since the invention of the traditional bag valve mask in the 1950s, there has been very little innovation in its design and functionality.
The ButterflyBVM is designed to assist life savers in delivering each breath correctly. What distinguishes it from traditional BVMs is its slower inflation rate and the built-in ability for users to adjust the maximum pressure and volume settings for infants, pediatrics and adults. The device serves as a three-in-one bag valve mask, eliminating the need to choose the appropriate bag size for the patient. Learn more.
“A firefighter was given the BVM on his arrival. Even though he had not yet used the ButterflyBVM, it was explained and utilized appropriately in under 10 seconds. All responders were impressed with the ease of use and function. The ButterflyBVM made the management of this patient’s airway both simple and accurate to allow for her best chance at recovery.“
~ Jacob Johnson, Paramedic, Carmel Fire Department, IN
“I’m very impressed with the ButterflyBVM. We used the ButterflyBVM in a cardiac arrest and it worked beautifully. The EMTs reported it was comfortable in their hands and removed the stress of worrying about over-inflating the patient’s lungs. This is one of the best new pieces of medical equipment I’ve used in a long time.“
~ Paul Martin, Chief, Morrow County Health District, OR
“Patient was unconscious, unresponsive, and very cyanotic with an O2 sat in the low 70s. We were able to start bagging her with the ButterflyBVM, and it performed exceptionally well. I was really impressed with the ease of setting it up and performing ventilations.“
~ Eric Burns, Chief, Tri-Village Rescue, OH
