Research has shown that manual ventilation with a bag-valve mask (BVM) can be highly inconsistent and difficult to perform correctly. Delivering the right tidal volume at the correct rate and pressure requires precision, yet even experienced providers often struggle to maintain consistency in high-stress scenarios like cardiac arrest.

In fact, up to 60% of patients are hypoventilated during CPR, a critical issue linked to significantly lower survival rates and poorer neurological outcomes.¹ These findings highlight the urgent need for tools that support rescuers in providing effective, guideline-compliant ventilation.

Ventilation Feedback Devices (VFDs) were developed to address this issue by monitoring and displaying key ventilation parameters in real-time. EOlife® is the only FDA-cleared VFD that measures the actual tidal volume delivered to the lungs, providing rescuers with immediate, actionable feedback to help ensure every breath meets AHA recommendations.

By making manual ventilation both measurable and reliable, EOlife® empowers providers to deliver safer, more effective ventilation and ultimately, better outcomes for patients when every second counts.

EOlife: The only ventilation feedback device (VFD) that calculates the volume of gas reaching the patient’s lung (Tidal Volume)

EOlife X: The ultimate tool for high-performance ventilation training 

FDA-cleared medical device enabling real-time calculation of insufflated volume, tidal volume, and ventilation frequency, along with visual feedback to deliver ventilation in accordance with AHA recommendations. Easy to use and operational in a few seconds, EOlife is ideal for emergency transport and can be used on intubated patients in emergency and intensive care units.

Training tool allowing calculations and recording of insufflated volume, tidal volume, manual ventilation frequency, in real time, to practice ventilation in accordance with AHA recommendations. EOlife X enables training on adult and pediatric (> 1 year) manikins. EOlife X offers two training modes (blind or monitored) that record ventilation parameters. Data can be downloaded via Bluetooth to the EOlife Connect app which offers detailed analysis and allows users to track their skills progress over time.
