A bag-mask is a medical device designed to ventilate a patient in respiratory arrest.

It must be on hand in an emergency department of the hospital or an ambulance.

It can be used before or after intubation while waiting for a mechanical respirator.

It can be used in CPR.

The bag-mask is preferably connected to a source of oxygen.

To use it requires 2 hands:

The right-hand holds the ball and exerts pressure with the 4 fingers to push the air (press with the thumb is an error).

The left hand applies the mask to the mouth and the nose, keeping a good seal, then putting the hand on the chest of the victim to check if there is an expansion/shrinkage of the rib cage due to the entry of the air.

At this time, i have chosen to talk about what i look forward to as a Nurse practitioner in a new role a a Primary Care nurse practitioner:

1, I understand that a primary care nurse practitioner is a generalist who work in family health clinics or hospitals. So i look forward to the time when i will be given the opportunity to  provide preventive care support, conduct check-ups and treat illnesses of both children and adults.

2, The concern i have about transitioning into this role will include how best to work with difficult patient and the physical and emotions demanding nature of the job.

3, No it did not because the major difference of an Advanced Practice Nurse is the post graduate educational qualification possessed. I believe with proper self training and on the job learning, a diligent nurse can assume the same position..
