The CPR-2+ manual resuscitator features a 1,000 mL capacity and tidal volume markings to align with clinical guidelines and reduce ventilation injuries.


RT’s Three Key Takeaways:

  1. Guideline Alignment: The 1,000 mL bag size follows American Heart Association recommendations to minimize the risk of ventilation-related injuries associated with larger resuscitators.
  2. Enhanced Precision: Integrated tidal volume finger markings provide clinicians with better control and accuracy during manual ventilation for adult and pediatric patients.
  3. Optional Monitoring: The system offers additional clinical support through optional manometers with timing lights and positive end-expiratory pressure valves.


Mercury Medical has introduced the CPR-2+ adult bag valve mask (BVM), featuring a 1,000 mL capacity designed to improve patient safety during resuscitation.

The smaller bag size reflects recent guidelines from the American Heart Association (AHA) aimed at reducing the likelihood of ventilation injuries that larger bags may cause, according to Mercury Medical.

The next-generation resuscitator includes integrated tidal volume (Vt) finger markings. These markings offer clinicians enhanced precision and control for optimal ventilation for both adult and pediatric patients, according to the company.

Healthcare providers can customize the device with additional options, including a LiteSaver manometer with a timing light. The resuscitator also supports the use of a positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) valve, which is available with or without an integrated filter.

The CPR-2+ is intended for use in various clinical settings, including acute care, emergency departments, intensive care units, and during patient transport.
