“They didn’t even know it was there.” Augusto da Silva (Centennial College) on realistic EMS training without cables or clutter. #EMS #Paramedic #AirwayManagement #CPR #MedEd #FirstResponder

Nearly every clinician showed variability in BVM ventilation during pressure testing. Colorado Springs Fire implemented Sotair® to improve consistency when it matters most. #EMS #AirwayManagement #cpr

Colorado Springs Fire Department has implemented the Sotair® device to improve BVM ventilation. It helps prevents over-ventilation and excessive pressure, reducing gastric distention and enhancing oxygenation. #FirefighterTech #EMS #PatientCare #Sotair

“The biggest problem with the bag-valve mask? It’s unregulated.” Dr. Mark F. Brady (UT Health Science Center) explains why over-ventilation is so common during resuscitation. #EMS #Resuscitation #CPR #EmergencyMedicine

200 EMS providers. 90 seconds of ventilation. Many delivered pressures high enough to inflate the stomach and volumes >2× recommended. From the NAEMSP Florida Chapter discussion with Dr Mark Brady & Dr. Peter Antevy. #EMS #CPR #EmergencyMedicine

60% of manual breaths exceed safe pressure. From the NAEMSP Florida Chapter discussion with Dr. Peter Antevy highlighting research from Dr. Mark F. Brady and the Manual ventilation practices during simulated study. #EMS #Resuscitation #CriticalCare

“During COVID, hospitals had one fear: running out of ventilators.” Dr. Mark Brady discussing the early pandemic with Dr. Peter Antevy during a National Association of EMS Physicians Florida Chapter discussion. #EMS #EmergencyMedicine #sotair #safebvm

“A BVM that stops you from squeezing too hard.” Dr. Mark Brady explaining a mechanical flow limiter (Sotair®) to Dr. Peter Antevy during a NAEMSP Florida Chapter discussion. The valve occludes and stops flow over 55LPM #EMS #Resuscitation #sotair

High-pressure barotrauma during manual ventilation? Airway pressure below 20 is safe. Above 35 risks lung injury. Avoid vomit and seek optimal pressure for patient safety. Learn more at our workshop! #Ventilation #MedicalTips #Airway

Even today, when technology fails, clinicians fall back on the most fundamental tool in airway management — the BVM #mechanicalventilation #BVM

Bad bagging vs safe bagging. Dr. Mark Brady explaining ventilation pressure data to Dr. Peter Antevy during a NAEMSP Florida Chapter discussion. 🔴 Without device → higher pressures 🟢 With device (Sotair®)→ closer to targets

Dr. Arthur Slutsky on flow-limiting ventilation devices. Limit peak flow → reduce pressure & tidal volume → prevent over-ventilation. Smart design can help prevent dangerous breaths before they happen. #EMS #CriticalCare #Ventilation #Sotair

Providers understood Sotair® in minutes because the device slows overly aggressive squeezing. #EMS #Paramedic #EmergencyMedicine #AirwayManagement #Resuscitation #PatientSafety #NAEMSP #Sotair

Provider performance dramatically improved after a short training session with the Sotair® device. Before, 36.5% of breaths were delivered above the gastric insufllation threshold; after, it was only 0.3%. #ProviderPerformance #SotairDevice #Healthcare #sotair

Using a flow control device like Sotair® prevents over-ventilation, giving providers the confidence to squeeze harder and address the common problem of under-ventilation. #MedicalTech #PatientCare #sotair

Excessive PEEP can cause airway closure during out-of-hospital CPR. Understanding these potential issues is crucial for effective resuscitation. #CPR #Medical

Experience the Sotair® device: a new flow-limiting valve for manual resuscitators. 'Experience the Squeeze!' See it in action. #MedicalTech #EMS #FIRE

Dr. Alejandro Gomez Alvarez shares why the Sotair® flow control device stands out: it supports slow, controlled breaths, helps prevent overly rapid ventilation. In his view, every manual resuscitator should have it. #Sotair #SafeBVM #EMS #ManualVentilation

Skepticism meets appreciation with new medical innovations. Experienced providers initially cautious about Sotair® now ask, "Why wasn't this available sooner?" It guides better ventilation in real-time. #MedTech #Innovation #Healthcare
