The Manual Ventilation Academy (MVA) is proud to highlight an extraordinary three-day training event held in Hawaii last July, led by Bob Page, that showcased both the transformative power of real-time ventilation feedback and the unmatched dedication of Hawaiian EMS professionals. Over just 72 hours, 52 new providers were trained in evidence-based manual ventilation techniques,...
We have reached a pivotal moment in the world of resuscitation science. A newly published Expert Opinion in the European Journal of Emergency Medicine sends a strong, unified message: It’s time to integrate Ventilation Feedback Devices (VFDs) into standard CPR training and clinical practice. 👉 Read the full article here What makes this publication truly...
During CPR, manual ventilation can save lives, but only when done right. In cardiac arrest situations, bag-valve-mask (BVM) ventilation is one of the most critical and complicated skills a rescuer has to master. Yet despite its importance, it’s still often poorly performed—even by experienced professionals. Indeed, a recent study by the Paris Fire Brigade showed...
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) saves lives. Yet, even this cornerstone of emergency care hides a persistent and often overlooked danger: hypoventilation during manual ventilation. In the earliest and most critical minutes of cardiac arrest—before intubation, before hospital care—ventilation is typically delivered using a bag-valve mask (BVM). A technique that looks simple on the surface but is surprisingly complex in practice....
Over the past week, the Manual Ventilation Academy (MVA) has launched one of its most ambitious training sessions yet — in partnership with the Fort Worth Fire Department — and the energy on the ground is nothing short of transformational. With 10 new MVA instructors, trained by renowned lead instructor Bob Page, the team has...
