  b. Bag volume of at least 800 mL
  c. Bag construction allowing for slow refill
  d. Low inspiratory and expiratory airflow resistance

Question 2

With a manual resuscitator bag, the use of rapid rates causes which of the following? 1. An increase in fractional delivered oxygen concentration (FDO2) 2. A decrease in FDO2 3. An increase in tidal volume delivered 4. A decrease in tidal volume delivered
 
  a. 1 and 4 c. 1 and 3
  b. 2 and 4 d. 2 and 3

Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
A manual resuscitator bag should have low inspiratory and expiratory airflow resistance to ensure ease of use.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Rapid rates with a manual resuscitator will decrease the amount of time the bag has to refill with the appropriate amount of volume and will also decrease the amount of oxygen accumulating in the reservoir thereby decreasing the delivered oxygen concentration and decreasing the tidal volume delivered.
