“Sotair helps reduce stress-driven hyperventilation, improve consistency, and lower cognitive load.” Ryan Lavender, EMS Lieutenant at Hoover Fire Department, on the value of immediate tactile and auditory feedback during manual ventilation. #EMS #BVM #Sotair #SafeBVM

Ventilation quality matters. Research shows: • 4X survival with favorable neurological outcomes in cardiac arrest. • 2.44X higher survival in opioid overdose. • 3.5X greater odds of survival to discharge in severe TBI. Consistency, timing, and volume matter. #SafeBVM

Building better BVM technique starts with hands-on training. Michael Webster uses Sotair® to help EMS providers experience proper manual ventilation and work on correcting bad habits. #EMS #BVM #Sotair #SafeBVM

Mike Brown of JEMS at FDIC International 2026: "We're always going to need to have good, effective use of bag-valve-mask ventilation." Sotair controls the flow rate of every bag breath. SotairIQ measures technique in training. #BVM #EMS #SafeBVM

From 138 attendees at our last workshop: 75% said BVM booster training happens less than twice a year (20% never). 71% use no gamified training. 80% got the dead-space question right. FREE live workshop Oct 27, 4 PM ET, 1 CAPCE hour. #EMS #BVM #SafeBVM

Same 500 mL breath. Over 1 second, flow peaks near 50 L/min. Rushed in 0.5 seconds, it peaks near 100 L/min. More flow, more pressure. 2025 AHA: it may be reasonable to give each breath over 1 second. #BVM #EMS #SafeBVM

"I think the device helps the practitioner be able to really feel and control their rate." Chief Zach Bowers, Brownsburg Fire Territory, IN, on Sotair. SotairIQ adds "the repetition and training that makes clinicians even better." #EMS #BVM #Sotair

How consistent is your crew's manual ventilation, and how would you know? Free live workshop: Mastering Flow Control in Manual Ventilation Tue Oct 27, 4 PM ET 1 free CAPCE hour Live SotairIQ demo Not recorded hubs.ly/Q04zFvzm0

A Top 50 U.S. Fire Department deployed Sotair® across 50 frontline apparatus after a successful trial. The case study highlights greater consistency, streamlined training, provider confidence, and operational value. Read more at hubs.ly/Q04z4NM40. #FireRescue #SafeBVM

Jennifer Antonucci, RN, EMS Nurse Coordinator with Murrieta Fire & Rescue, says concern about overventilation during cardiac arrest influenced the decision to choose SafeBVM. She describes Sotair® as an important safeguard during manual ventilation. #EMS #Sotair #SafeBVM

At MHSRS 2026, Dr. Nichole Berge explained how haptic and visual feedback reduced the need for providers to mentally track overventilation, underventilation, and rate. Less mental calculation means more capacity to focus on patient care. #MilitaryMedicine #SafeBVM

Join SafeBVM for a free, live workshop on reducing variability in manual ventilation. Topics include flow control, key ventilation concepts, a SotairIQ™ demonstration, and the 2025 AHA Guidelines. Sept. 22 | 11 AM PT / 2 PM ET 1 CAPCE credit hubs.ly/Q04vZ_bY0

Two generations. Two EMS World Innovation Awards. Sotair® was recognized in 2019 and again in 2022—reflecting SafeBVM’s continued commitment to practical innovation and safer, more consistent manual ventilation. #EMSInnovation #Sotair #SafeBVM

Manual ventilation requires balancing the risks of overventilation and underventilation. Dr. Arthur Slutsky describes Sotair® as providing “guardrails” that help protect against overinflation while supporting adequate ventilation. #ManualVentilation #Sotair #SafeBVM

BVM ventilation is difficult—especially during cardiac arrest. Even after an advanced airway removes the mask seal from the equation, the science of every breath still matters. Tools like SotairIQ™ provide real-time feedback clinicians can use. #CardiacArrest #EMS #SafeBVM

One hour. Free CAPCE credit. Practical education you can apply to manual-ventilation training and care. Join SafeBVM Sept. 22 at 11 AM PT / 2 PM ET for expert instruction, a live SotairIQ™ demo, and a review of the 2025 AHA Guidelines. Register: hubs.ly/Q04vZyLg0

Opioids suppress breathing and cause severe oxygen deprivation. In opioid-associated cardiac arrest, CPR combining compressions with ventilation was associated with 2.44X higher odds of survival than compression-only CPR. Every breath matters. #CPR #EMS #SafeBVM

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.

Hoover Fire Department incorporated Sotair® into routine training to provide immediate feedback during manual ventilation. The department reported greater consistency, less supervisory coaching and more confidence across experience levels. Read more at hubs.ly/Q04tdyK00.

Improving ventilation during cardiac arrest starts before the bag is squeezed. In this @fdicevent clip, panelists return to three fundamentals: an open airway, a proper mask seal and an effective jaw thrust. #CardiacArrest #ManualVentilation #FDIC
