🫁 AMBU BAG (Bag-Valve-Mask / BVM) — পূর্ণ পরীক্ষামুখী নোট
১. সংজ্ঞা (Definition)
Ambu Bag (Artificial Mask Breathing Unit) হলো একটি self-inflating manual resuscitator যা দিয়ে হাত দিয়ে চেপে রোগীর ফুসফুসে বাতাস প্রবেশ করানো হয়। এটি Bag-Valve-Mask (BVM) নামেও পরিচিত।
ইতিহাস (History): ১৯৫৩ সালে Dr. Henning Ruben ও Dr. Holger Hesse প্রথম self-inflating portable manual ventilator তৈরি করেন - এর নাম রাখেন AMBU (Artificial Mask Bag Unit)।
২. উপাদান/যন্ত্রাংশ (Components of Ambu Bag)
| উপাদান | বর্ণনা |
|---|---|
| Self-inflating Bag | চাপ দিলে চুপসে যায়, ছাড়লে আপনিই ফুলে ওঠে |
| Non-rebreathing Valve (One-way Valve) | রোগীর নিঃশ্বাস-ছাড়া বায়ু Bag-এ ঢুকতে দেয় না |
| Face Mask | মুখ ও নাক ঢেকে airtight seal তৈরি করে |
| Oxygen Inlet Nipple | Oxygen supply সংযুক্ত করার জন্য |
| Oxygen Reservoir Bag | উচ্চমাত্রার O₂ (৮৫-১০০%) সরবরাহ নিশ্চিত করে |
| PEEP Valve (Optional) | Positive End-Expiratory Pressure প্রদান করে |
৩. আকার/সাইজ (Sizes Available)
| রোগীর বয়স | Bag Volume | Rate (breaths/min) |
|---|---|---|
| Neonatal (নবজাতক) | ~250 mL | 40-60 |
| Pediatric (শিশু) | ~500 mL | 20-25 |
| Adult (প্রাপ্তবয়স্ক) | 1000-1500 mL | 10-12 |
৪. Tidal Volume (শ্বাসমাত্রা)
- Adult: প্রতিবার ~500 mL বায়ু, 1 থেকে 1.5 সেকেন্ড ধরে চাপ দিতে হবে
- Pediatric: 6-8 mL/kg (যেমন: 20 kg শিশু → মাত্র ~160 mL)
- বেশি জোরে বা দ্রুত চাপলে Gastric Insufflation (পেটে বাতাস) ও Barotrauma হয়
৫. Oxygen Delivery (অক্সিজেন সরবরাহ)
| O₂ সংযোগ | দেওয়া সম্ভব FiO₂ |
|---|---|
| Room Air (কোনো O₂ নেই) | ~21% |
| O₂ সংযুক্ত, Reservoir ছাড়া | ~40-60% |
| O₂ সংযুক্ত + Reservoir Bag সহ | ~85-100% |
পরামর্শ: সর্বোচ্চ Oxygenation-এর জন্য সবসময় Reservoir Bag সহ O₂ flow 10-15 L/min ব্যবহার করুন।
৬. Indications (ব্যবহারের কারণ)
- Apnea - শ্বাস সম্পূর্ণ বন্ধ হয়ে গেলে
- Respiratory Failure - শ্বাসক্রিয়া অপর্যাপ্ত
- Cardiac Arrest - CPR-এর সময় ventilation
- Pre-oxygenation - Endotracheal Intubation-এর আগে
- Rescue Ventilation - Intubation fail হলে
- Post-ictal Apnea - খিঁচুনির পর শ্বাস বন্ধ
- Drug-induced Respiratory Depression - ওষুধে শ্বাসকষ্ট (যেমন morphine overdose)
- Anesthesia Induction - অজ্ঞান করার সময়
৭. Contraindications (ব্যবহার করা যাবে না কখন)
-
Impossible face mask seal - যখন মুখে মাস্ক বসানো সম্ভব নয়:
- Significant facial trauma (মুখমণ্ডলের গুরুতর আঘাত)
- Thick beard (ঘন দাড়ি)
- Severe facial deformity (বিকৃতি)
-
Relative Contraindications:
- Full stomach / Risk of aspiration (উচ্চ aspiration ঝুঁকি)
- Rapid Sequence Intubation (RSI) - পেটে বায়ু যাওয়ার ভয়ে
⚠️ মনে রাখুন: Emergency-তে Oxygenation সবসময় অগ্রাধিকার পায়। Aspiration risk থাকলেও BMV দিতে হবে।
৮. কৌশল / Technique
ধাপ ১: সরঞ্জাম প্রস্তুত (Preparation)
- সঠিক আকারের Bag, Mask, Oral/Nasal Airway বেছে নিন
- O₂ সংযুক্ত করুন (10-15 L/min)
- Reservoir Bag inflate হয়েছে নিশ্চিত করুন
ধাপ ২: রোগীর অবস্থান (Positioning)
- মাথা Sniffing Position বা Head-tilt, Chin-lift করুন
- Infant ও ছোট শিশুদের ক্ষেত্রে বড় Occiput-এর কারণে ঘাড় বাঁকে; তাই কাঁধের নিচে Pad দিন
- Jaw Thrust - mandible সামনে টেনে airway খুলুন
ধাপ ৩: Mask Seal তৈরি
EC-Clamp Technique (একক হাত):
- E - চার আঙুল দিয়ে mandible ধরে টানুন (E আকৃতি)
- C - বুড়ো আঙুল ও তর্জনী দিয়ে Mask চেপে ধরুন (C আকৃতি)
- Little finger → jaw-এর angle-এ রেখে jaw সামনে তুলুন
Two-handed Technique (দুই হাত - বেশি কার্যকর):
- উভয় হাত দিয়ে jaw thrust + mask seal করুন
- সহকারী Bag squeeze করেন
- Difficult airway-তে এটি বেশি কার্যকর
V-E Technique (Thenar Eminence Technique):
- হাতের Thenar eminence দিয়ে Mask চাপেন
- কঠিন ক্ষেত্রে ভালো seal পাওয়া যায়
ধাপ ৪: Ventilation দেওয়া
- Bag ধীরে চাপুন → Chest rise দেখুন
- প্রতি breath: 1-1.5 seconds ধরে squeeze করুন
- Airway Pressure < 20 cm H₂O রাখুন
- Gastric inflation এড়াতে জোরে/দ্রুত চাপবেন না
৯. Mask Seal নিশ্চিত করার উপায় (Ensuring Proper Seal)
- Chest rise পর্যবেক্ষণ করুন
- Bilateral breath sounds Auscultate করুন
- Bag-এ proper resistance অনুভব করুন
- SpO₂ monitor করুন
- ETCO₂ (End-tidal CO₂) দেখুন (যদি available থাকে)
১০. Airway Adjuncts (সহায়ক যন্ত্র)
BMV-এর সাথে ব্যবহার করুন:
| যন্ত্র | কাজ |
|---|---|
| OPA (Oropharyngeal Airway) | মুখ দিয়ে airway খোলা রাখে |
| NPA (Nasopharyngeal Airway) | নাক দিয়ে airway খোলা রাখে |
| LMA (Laryngeal Mask Airway) | যখন face mask seal সম্ভব না |
১১. জটিলতা (Complications)
| জটিলতা | কারণ |
|---|---|
| Gastric Insufflation | বেশি চাপ বা দ্রুত ventilation |
| Aspiration Pneumonia | Gastric inflation → উল্টো বমি |
| Barotrauma | অতিরিক্ত Airway Pressure |
| Hypoxia | অপর্যাপ্ত বা ব্যর্থ ventilation |
| Pressure Injury | দীর্ঘক্ষণ mask চাপলে মুখের nerve ক্ষতিগ্রস্ত হয় (Trigeminal/Facial nerve) |
| Eye Injury | মাস্ক চোখে চাপলে |
| Hypoventilation/Hyperventilation | ভুল Rate বা Volume |
১২. Difficult BVM-এর স্মৃতিসূত্র (ROMAN Mnemonic)
ROMAN = Difficult Bag-Mask Ventilation-এর কারণ
| অক্ষর | English | বাংলা অর্থ |
|---|---|---|
| R | Radiation/Restriction | গলার Radiation বা বুকের Restriction |
| O | Obesity / Obstruction | স্থূলতা বা airway বাধা |
| M | Mask seal problem | দাড়ি, মুখের বিকৃতি |
| A | Age (>55 years) | বয়স্কদের mask seal কঠিন |
| N | No teeth (Edentulous) | দাঁত না থাকলে mask বসে না |
১৩. শিশু ও নবজাতকের বিশেষ বিষয় (Pediatric Considerations)
- Mask Size: নাকের সেতু থেকে থুতনির খাঁজ পর্যন্ত আকারের Mask বেছে নিন
- ছোট শিশুদের Tidal Volume খুব কম লাগে; শুধু Chest Rise দেখলেই যথেষ্ট
- Pediatric bag (500 mL) দিয়ে পুরো bag কখনো চাপবেন না
- Asthma রোগীতে Expiratory time বাড়ান
- শিশুদের Needle Cricothyrotomy (<10 বছর) - Surgical cricothyrotomy নয়
১৪. Ventilator vs Ambu Bag
| বিষয় | Ambu Bag | Ventilator |
|---|---|---|
| বিদ্যুৎ লাগে? | না | হ্যাঁ |
| Portable? | হ্যাঁ | না |
| Tidal volume নির্ভুল? | না (চাপের উপর নির্ভর) | হ্যাঁ |
| Emergency ব্যবহার | উপযুক্ত | সীমিত |
১৫. গুরুত্বপূর্ণ পয়েন্ট (Key Points for Exam)
| পয়েন্ট | মান |
|---|---|
| Adult Tidal Volume | ~500 mL / 6-8 mL/kg |
| Adult Rate | 10-12 breaths/min |
| Inspiratory Time | 1-1.5 seconds |
| Max Airway Pressure | <20 cm H₂O |
| O₂ Flow Rate | 10-15 L/min |
| FiO₂ with Reservoir | 85-100% |
| Pediatric Rate (Infant) | 20-25 breaths/min |
| ROMAN mnemonic | Difficult BVM |
| EC-Clamp | BMV হাত কৌশল |
১৬. BMV vs LMA vs ETT (তুলনামূলক)
| বিষয় | BVM | LMA | ETT (Intubation) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Skill লাগে | কম | মাঝারি | বেশি |
| Aspiration Protection | নেই | আংশিক | সম্পূর্ণ |
| Long-term ব্যবহার | না | সীমিত | হ্যাঁ |
| Emergency 1st choice | হ্যাঁ | Facial trauma | Failed airway |
১৭. মনে রাখার মতো তথ্য (Quick Recall)
✅ BMV = Emergency Airway Management-এর সবচেয়ে গুরুত্বপূর্ণ ও প্রথম কৌশল
✅ ধীরে, কম চাপে, Chest rise দেখে Bag squeeze করুন
✅ Two-handed technique > One-handed technique (better seal)
✅ Reservoir Bag + O₂ = সর্বোচ্চ FiO₂
✅ Intubation-এর আগে সবসময় BMV দিয়ে Pre-oxygenate করুন (RSI ছাড়া)

🫁 AMBU BAG (Bag-Valve-Mask / BVM) — Complete Exam-Oriented Notes
1. Definition
Ambu Bag (Artificial Mask Breathing Unit) is a self-inflating manual resuscitator used to deliver positive-pressure ventilation to a patient who is not breathing adequately. It is also called Bag-Valve-Mask (BVM) device.
History: In 1953, Dr. Henning Ruben and Dr. Holger Hesse developed the first self-inflating, portable, manual ventilator that could work without electricity or an oxygen supply — named AMBU (Artificial Mask Bag Unit).
2. Components of Ambu Bag
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| Self-inflating Bag | Collapses when squeezed; re-expands automatically when released due to internal spring mechanism |
| Non-rebreathing Valve (One-way Valve) | Prevents exhaled gas from re-entering the bag; ensures unidirectional flow |
| Face Mask | Creates an airtight seal over nose and mouth |
| Oxygen Inlet Nipple | Port for connecting external O₂ supply |
| Oxygen Reservoir Bag | Stores O₂ to allow delivery of FiO₂ of 85-100% |
| PEEP Valve (Optional) | Delivers Positive End-Expiratory Pressure to prevent alveolar collapse |
3. Available Sizes
| Patient | Bag Volume | Ventilation Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Neonatal | ~250 mL | 40-60 breaths/min |
| Pediatric | ~500 mL | 20-25 breaths/min |
| Adult | 1000-1500 mL | 10-12 breaths/min |
4. Tidal Volume Delivery
- Adult: ~500 mL per breath delivered over 1 to 1.5 seconds
- Pediatric: 6-8 mL/kg body weight (e.g., a 20 kg child needs only ~160 mL per breath)
- Squeezing too hard or too fast causes Gastric Insufflation and Barotrauma
- In pediatric patients: squeeze only enough to produce visible chest rise
5. Oxygen Delivery (FiO₂)
| O₂ Setup | FiO₂ Delivered |
|---|---|
| Room Air only (no O₂) | ~21% |
| O₂ connected, no Reservoir Bag | ~40-60% |
| O₂ + Reservoir Bag | 85-100% |
Tip: For maximum oxygenation, always use a Reservoir Bag with O₂ flow rate of 10-15 L/min.
6. Indications
- Apnea - Complete cessation of breathing
- Respiratory Failure - Inadequate spontaneous ventilation
- Cardiac Arrest - Ventilation during CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation)
- Pre-oxygenation - Before Endotracheal Intubation
- Rescue Ventilation - After failed intubation attempt
- Post-ictal Apnea - Apnea following a seizure
- Drug-induced Respiratory Depression - e.g., Opioid or Benzodiazepine overdose
- Anesthesia Induction - Induction period ventilation support
- Hypoventilation - Any cause of severely decreased respiratory effort
7. Contraindications
Absolute Contraindication:
- Impossible Face Mask Seal - when applying a face mask is not feasible:
- Significant facial trauma / deforming facial injury
- Thick beard
- Severe facial deformity
- In these cases, use an LMA (Laryngeal Mask Airway) as first-line device
Relative Contraindications:
- Full stomach / High aspiration risk
- Rapid Sequence Intubation (RSI) - BMV avoided to prevent gastric inflation
- Patients with active hemoptysis or vomiting
⚠️ Key Principle: In any emergency, oxygenation always takes priority over aspiration risk. BMV must be performed even if relative contraindications exist.
8. Technique / Procedure
Step 1 - Equipment Preparation
- Select appropriate size Bag, Mask, and Airway Adjunct (OPA/NPA)
- Connect O₂ at 10-15 L/min
- Confirm Reservoir Bag is inflated
Step 2 - Patient Positioning
- Place patient supine
- Perform Head-tilt, Chin-lift maneuver (unless cervical spine injury suspected)
- Use Jaw Thrust if spinal injury is possible
- In infants/small children: place a pad/roll under the shoulders (large occiput causes neck flexion in supine position, which obstructs the airway)
- Aim for "Sniffing Position" - neck slightly flexed, head extended at atlanto-occipital joint
Step 3 - Mask Application and Seal
EC-Clamp Technique (Single-hand):
- "C" shape: Thumb and index finger hold mask down over the face
- "E" shape: Middle, ring, and little fingers placed along the mandible
- Little finger hooks under the angle of jaw and lifts it anteriorly (most important step for airway opening)
- Finger pressure must be on bony mandible only - NOT on soft tissues
Two-Handed Technique (Preferred for difficult airways):
- Both thumbs hold mask down
- All fingertips or knuckles displace jaw forward
- An assistant squeezes the bag
- Provides superior mask seal compared to single-hand technique
V-E (Thenar Eminence) Technique:
- Thenar eminences (base of both thumbs) hold the mask
- Fingers perform jaw thrust
- Especially useful when single-hand EC-clamp fails
Step 4 - Ventilation
- Squeeze bag slowly and gently over 1 to 1.5 seconds
- Observe bilateral chest rise with each breath
- Keep airway pressure < 20 cm H₂O to avoid gastric inflation
- Do NOT squeeze entire bag in adults (only ~500 mL needed)
- Maintain appropriate rate (Adult: 10-12/min; Pediatric: 20-25/min)
9. Confirming Adequate Ventilation
| Sign | Method |
|---|---|
| Chest Rise | Visual inspection with each breath |
| Bilateral Breath Sounds | Auscultation |
| Bag Resistance | Feel appropriate resistance while squeezing |
| SpO₂ | Pulse oximetry monitoring |
| ETCO₂ | End-tidal CO₂ capnography (gold standard confirmation) |
| Improved Heart Rate | Especially in neonates |
10. Airway Adjuncts Used with BMV
| Device | Purpose | When to Use |
|---|---|---|
| OPA (Oropharyngeal Airway / Guedel Airway) | Keeps tongue away from posterior pharynx | Unconscious patient, no gag reflex |
| NPA (Nasopharyngeal Airway) | Maintains nasal airway passage | Semi-conscious, gag reflex present |
| LMA (Laryngeal Mask Airway) | Supraglottic airway device | When face mask seal is impossible |
| Cricoid Pressure (Sellick's Maneuver) | Reduces gastric regurgitation risk | Used during RSI |
11. Complications
| Complication | Cause / Mechanism |
|---|---|
| Gastric Insufflation | High airway pressure / excessive tidal volume / fast squeeze |
| Aspiration Pneumonia | Gastric contents regurgitate due to gastric inflation |
| Barotrauma | Excessive airway pressure → pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum |
| Hypoxia | Inadequate ventilation or failed mask seal |
| Hyperventilation | Too rapid a rate → respiratory alkalosis, hypotension |
| Pressure Injury | Prolonged mask application → injury to branches of Trigeminal or Facial nerve |
| Eye Injury | Mask or finger contact with eye |
| Hypoventilation | Insufficient tidal volume |
| Cervical Spine Injury | Excessive neck extension in trauma patients |
12. ROMAN Mnemonic - Predictors of Difficult BMV
| Letter | Meaning |
|---|---|
| R | Radiation / Restriction (neck radiation, chest restriction) |
| O | Obesity / Obstruction (airway obstruction, OSA) |
| M | Mask seal problem (beard, facial trauma, edentulous) |
| A | Age > 55 years |
| N | No teeth (Edentulous patients - cheeks collapse inward) |
Note: Presence of 2 or more ROMAN factors predicts significantly difficult BMV.
13. Special Considerations in Pediatric Patients
- Mask Size Selection: Mask should cover from bridge of nose to cleft of chin without covering the eyes
- Small children need very small tidal volumes - squeeze only until chest visibly rises
- Pediatric 500 mL bag - never compress the entire bag
- Asthma: Allow longer expiratory time to prevent air trapping (Auto-PEEP)
- Infants: Position with roll under shoulders to achieve neutral airway alignment
- Failed airway in children <10 years: Use Needle Cricothyrotomy (NOT Surgical Cricothyrotomy - cricothyroid membrane is too small)
14. Ventilation Parameters Summary Table
| Parameter | Neonate | Infant/Child | Adult |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tidal Volume | 6-8 mL/kg | 6-8 mL/kg | 6-8 mL/kg (~500 mL) |
| Rate (breaths/min) | 40-60 | 20-25 | 10-12 |
| Inspiratory Time | - | 1 sec | 1-1.5 sec |
| O₂ Flow | 5 L/min | 8-10 L/min | 10-15 L/min |
15. BMV vs LMA vs ETT - Comparison
| Feature | BVM | LMA | ETT (Endotracheal Tube) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Skill required | Low | Moderate | High |
| Aspiration protection | None | Partial | Complete |
| Long-term use | No | Limited | Yes |
| First-line emergency | Yes | Facial trauma/failed BVM | Definitive airway |
| Gastric inflation risk | High | Low | None |
| Confirms placement | Chest rise, SpO₂ | Chest rise | ETCO₂, CXR |
16. Ambu Bag vs Mechanical Ventilator
| Feature | Ambu Bag | Mechanical Ventilator |
|---|---|---|
| Electricity required | No | Yes |
| Portable | Yes | No |
| Tidal volume accuracy | Inconsistent (operator-dependent) | Precise |
| Best use | Emergency / Transport | ICU / Prolonged ventilation |
| FiO₂ control | Limited | Precise |
