Figure 1: PEEP valve attached to bag-valve mask. Notice nasal cannula under the mask, as well as hand positioning of operators. The first operator holding the bag has his hand under the bag for balance. The second operator is holding the mask tightly against the patient’s face while actively moving the mandible forward at the same time. This patient positioning and two-operator coordination are far superior to trying this flat and pushing the mask down onto the mandible.
