“Why have we not used this before?”
Lieutenant Ryan Lavender from Hoover Fire Department shares how Sotair® helps providers reset during stressful manual ventilation.
Slow it down. Take your time. Slow breaths.

Chief Mike Antonucci said it best: “You gotta try this thing.”
SafeBVM is proud to join CFED 2026 with Sotair and SotairIQ — flow-control technology paired with advanced training for manual ventilation.

Are your tools practical in EMS chaos?
High-acuity EMS calls are loud, stressful, and distracting.
In real EMS resuscitation, manual ventilation tools need to be simple.

How were you taught to ventilate when you first entered EMS?
EMS Lt. Ryan Lavender from Hoover Fire Department reflects on what he was taught early in his career — and how that thinking has changed.
Were you taught that faster breathing was better?

High-stress calls can make BVM ventilation too fast and aggressive.
EMS Lt. Ryan Lavender, Hoover Fire Department, explains why training, feedback, and control matter.

what would actually help providers in the field? That feedback helped spark an approach aimed at reducing gastric insufflation during manual ventilation. #EMS #NAEMSP #ManualVentilation #Sotair #Innovation #MedTech

In this NAEMSP Florida Chapter discussion, Dr. Peter Antevy speaks with Dr. Mark Brady about flow control, pressure, and a key reality in medtech: human data takes time. Since then, anesthesia data was presented at ERC Resuscitation 2025. #MedicalDevice #Anesthesia #sotair

Dr. Mark Brady: overinflation remains a problem in manual ventilation. In his study of 200 EMS providers, experience and confidence were inversely correlated with performance. He describes Sotair® as a potential solution, including in decreased compliance states

[SafeBVM @SafeBVM]

Bag-valve ventilation is often undertaught and undertrained, leading to critical errors like over-squeezing and poor seals. Proper technique and training are vital for effective resuscitation. #EMS #Resuscitation

James O. Page Award recipient Chad Massie of Rhodes State says SotairIQ™ has helped him learn to ventilate better and continue that work with his students.

Training that builds consistency matters. #SotairIQ #EMS #EMSEducation #ManualVentilation

[SafeBVM @SafeBVM]

Even with decreased compliance, the Sotair® flow-controlled device still showed a safer profile than bagging without it on pressure and tidal volume.

Squeezing manual resuscitation bags too hard is a common problem. The Sotair® valve by prevents excessive force, helping to optimize breath delivery and lowering peak airway pressures. A simple fix for a critical issue. #MedicalDevices #EMS #resuscitation

David Pecora shares why he's attended 3 Mastering Manual Ventilation workshops. Each time, he learns something new from expert educators presenting in different formats, with clear examples of past errors and practical improvement tips. #ManualVentilation #EMSeducation

[SafeBVM @SafeBVM]

Dr. Brady explains how Sotair® improved both peak inspiratory pressure and tidal volume delivery in manual ventilation, even in states of decreased lung compliance. #MedicalDevices #Sotair #EMS

[SafeBVM @SafeBVM]

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

[SafeBVM @SafeBVM]

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
