AB Providing  effective  ventilation  and  oxygenation  using  a  bag  mask  is  probably  the  single  most  important  component  of  airway  management.  Bag-mask-ventilation  (BMV)  refers  to  the  use  of  a  bag-mask  unit,  most  of  which  but  not  all  have  valves  (in  which  case  they  are  referred  to  as  Bag-Valve-Mask  units  or  BVMs)  system/device  to  deliver  gas  rich  in  oxygen  either  passively  or  actively  by  manually  ventilating  the  patient  using  a  face-mask  interface.  Examples  of  non-valved  bag-mask  devices  include  Mapleson  E  (Jackson  Rees  Modification  of  Ayres  T-piece)  and  other  t-piece  occlude  systems.  Manual  noninvasive  ventilation  also  accurately  describes  the  use  of  a  BMV  device  to  provide  positive  pressure  ventilation  (PPV).  This  should  be  differentiated  from  mechanical  noninvasive  ventilation,  which  also  uses  a  face-mask  interface  but  provides  respiratory  effort  assistance  (PPV)  delivered  by  specialized  ventilator.
