The Mercury Medical Small Adult CPR-2 Bag is available in a variety of configurations to best meet the needs of the patient and emergency medical team.

When it comes to tidal volumes, less is better when comparing an adult size (1600 mL) self-inflating bag/BVM to a small adult (1000 mL) bag. Smaller self-inflating bags can help reduce the incidence of over inflation, gastric distention and regurgitation. It is becoming more evident that larger tidal volumes and ventilation rates can be associated with these complications whereas smaller tidal volumes are becoming safer and more acceptable.

Adult self-inflating bags/BVM as typically had a max capacity between 1000-1600 mL since the long past standards had recommended larger tidal volume delivery of 10-12 mL/kg. Current AHA guidelines recommend delivering tidal volumes of 400 to 500 mL or 6-7 mL/kg per ACEP as a strategy to avoid over inflation, gastric distention and regurgitation. *(Ref studies). Clinicians can more easily comply with delivered tidal volume guidelines by using the Mercury Small Adult bag.

For example, according to CDC, an average adult weighs approximately 195.5 lbs which is 88.8 kg (195.5/2.2) 88.8 kg x 6 mL = 532.8 mL (7 mL = 621.6 mL).

Larger bag volumes may lead to vomiting or aspiration, barotrauma, volutrauma or reduction in blood pressure. A small adult bag is not only easier to squeeze, it offers adequate stroke volume.

Furthermore, standard ventilator volume settings are in the 500-600 mL range. Studies are showing the same may be true using self-inflating manual resuscitators.

Features:

• Streamlined Inventory: SMALL ADULT size bag also helps streamline inventory, saving space and costs by not having to purchase multiple bag sizes! (Save space: Crash carts, Pediatric ICU, EMS departments & trauma bags)
• Pop-Off (Override Button with Lock-clip): A configuration with a pop-off valve and override clip (on the patient valve) enables the use for pediatrics! It prevents accidental over ventilating by keeping peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) below 40 cm H2O. The popoff comes with an override button and lock-clip which allows the option of ventilating a patient over 40 cm H2O PIP pressure if needed. (Pop-off is an ISO standard for pediatric patients.)
• LiteSaver Manometer Helps Meet AHA Guidelines for Ventilation Rate: Adding a color-coded manometer is critical for reducing the risk of aspiration which typically occurs between 20-25 cm H2O; and at the same time, reduces chances of lung injury such as barotrauma. But when adding the ONLY ONE LiteSaver Manometer with integrated timing light to the equation, it offers one more measure of safety. LiteSaver Manometer assists in reduced stacking of breaths, helping to maintain correct respiratory rate (every 6 seconds, 10 breaths/minute, recommended by AHA) for advanced airway patients and allows the patient to completely exhale. It virtually takes the guess work out of when to deliver ventilation. All in all, a winning combination to keep track of rate, volume and pressure.

The Mercury Medical CPR-2+ Bag w/ Tidal Volume Marking is a positive pressure ventilation and self-inflating bag that fills spontaneously after it is squeezed, pulling oxygen or air into the bag. This bag offers all of the benefits of the original CPR-2 Bag with the added benefit of tidal volume markings at 200, 300, and 400 mL. This BVM remains inflated at all times and can deliver positive pressure ventilation without a compressed gas source, although it does require the attachment of an oxygen reservoir to deliver 90% – 100% oxygen. 

Features:

• Positive pressure ventilation
• Fills spontaneously after the bag is squeezed
• Does not require a compressed gas source unless 90-100% oxygen delivery is needed
• Tidal volume markings directly on the bag
