SafeBVM Corp

Why did Murrieta Fire & Rescue choose SafeBVM?

Jennifer Antonucci, RN, EMS Nurse Coordinator, points to a persistent challenge during cardiac arrest care: overventilation.
In a high-stress resuscitation, ventilation can become too fast or forceful. Jennifer describes Sotair® as an important safeguard that helps protect against overventilation during manual ventilation.

We’re grateful to EMS professionals like Jennifer who are committed to strengthening airway-management practices and supporting safer patient care.

One hour could change how you think about every breath.
On September 22, join SafeBVM for a free, live CAPCE-accredited workshop exploring the science and practice behind safer, more consistent manual ventilation.

Mastering Flow Control in Manual Ventilation will help participants better understand what influences every BVM squeeze—from flow and pressure to resistance, compliance, volume, and rate.
The session also includes a live SotairIQ™ demonstration showing real-time pressure and flow waveforms and a discussion of the 2025 AHA Guidelines.

Two generations. Two EMS World Innovation Awards.
The first generation of Sotair® was recognized in 2019, followed by the second-generation device in 2022.

Each milestone reflects SafeBVM’s continued commitment to addressing variability in manual ventilation and developing practical innovations that support EMS professionals when every breath matters.

Because meaningful innovation isn’t simply about creating something new. It’s about creating something that helps providers deliver safer, more consistent care.

Safer manual ventilation requires balancing two risks: overventilation and underventilation.

Arthur Slutsky, CM, MASc, FRSC, FCAHS, MD, Professor Emeritus at the University of Toronto, describes Sotair® as providing “guardrails” that help protect against overinflation while allowing providers to focus on delivering adequate ventilation.

That balance matters. Providers need practical safeguards that support safer, more consistent ventilation without adding complexity when every breath counts.

Manual ventilation is a foundational skill—but controlling every breath consistently can be more complicated than it appears.
Join SafeBVM for Mastering Flow Control in Manual Ventilation: Reducing Variability & Improving Outcomes, a free, live workshop designed for EMS and fire clinicians, educators, training officers, medical directors, and QA/QI leaders.

Participants will explore:

• Common causes of variability during manual ventilation
• The relationship between flow, pressure, resistance, and compliance
• How flow control and forcing functions can support greater consistency
• Real-time pressure and flow waveforms through a live SotairIQ™ demonstration
• Updates from the 2025 AHA Guidelines

🗓 Tuesday, September 22
⏰ 11:00 a.m. PT | 2:00 p.m. ET
🎓 One hour of free CAPCE credit

Did you know ventilation plays a particularly important role during opioid-associated cardiac arrest?

Opioids can suppress respiratory drive, leading to severe oxygen deprivation before cardiac arrest occurs. Research presented during a SafeBVM workshop discussed many important clinical trials. One clinical trial showed that CPR combining chest compressions with ventilation was associated with 2.44X higher odds of survival than compression-only CPR.

The takeaway: When opioid toxicity is involved, restoring circulation is not be enough. Delivering effective ventilation is critical.

This finding represents an association and does not establish causation.

What happens when emergency response professionals experience flow-control training firsthand?

Following our most recent free CAPCE-credit webinar, 91% of respondents said they would recommend Sotair® to their leadership.

That feedback reflects a growing interest in practical tools that can help reduce variability and support safer, more consistent manual ventilation.

Consistency When Every Breath Matters | Hoover Fire Department

Manual ventilation can be difficult to standardize during a high-stress cardiac arrest. Adrenaline, provider handoffs and differences in training can lead to breaths that are delivered too quickly or forcefully—and monitors alone still require someone to recognize and correct the problem.

This case study explores how Hoover Fire Department incorporated Sotair® into its existing BVM workflow. During routine weekly training, providers quickly learned to respond to the device’s tactile and auditory feedback by delivering slower, gentler breaths while maintaining appropriate chest rise.

The department reported:

• Less need for supervisory coaching
• Greater confidence in providers across experience levels
• An added safeguard against returning to stress-driven technique
• No added screen or disruption to existing protocols

Swipe through to see how immediate feedback at the breath level supported greater consistency when it mattered most.
