Laurknee13 0 Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 When using a BVM on a patient with COPD, do you use 10-15 Lpm if they’re on a set amount of O2? For example, if the patient has written orders for 2 lpm of O2 through nasal cannula and you are needed to use a BVM, do you use 2 lpm on the BVM or 10-15 lpm? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Just Plain Ruff 477 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Hi Laurknee13 - I've seen that you have posted a couple of basic questions that honestly should have been answered in your EMT class. But since you are asking no - you should open the oxygen up to 15lpm for the BVM. Have you asked your instructor these questions? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
