Advancing Manual Ventilation Training: SafeBVM’s CAPCE-Accredited Workshop Featuring SotairIQ
Source: SafeBVM
BOSTON—Manual ventilation remains one of the most common—and most variable—interventions in resuscitation. Yet it is also one of the least standardized. Over-ventilation, hyperventilation, and inconsistent pressures continue to compromise outcomes in cardiac arrest, traumatic brain injury, and opioid-related respiratory failure. A growing body of evidence highlights the urgent need for improved training and real-time feedback for providers at every level
SafeBVM is addressing that gap through its CAPCE-accredited virtual workshop series, with the next session scheduled for Sept. 30, 2025. This interactive program, “Mastering Flow Control in Manual Ventilation: Reducing Variability & Improving Outcomes,” will feature expert instruction from Dr. Lauren Maloney and Thomas Piraino, RRT. The workshop is designed for EMS medical directors, chiefs, educators, trainers, and frontline EMS providers, giving participants practical tools to improve safety and effectiveness in manual ventilation.
Every participant who participates will receive one hour of free CAPCE credit.
A New Approach to Training
In addition to evidence-based instruction, the workshop integrates SotairIQ—SafeBVM’s advanced training platform and a 2025 EMS World Innovation Award finalist.
SotairIQ provides real-time feedback on critical parameters including rate, tidal volume, inspiratory time, pressure, and flow. This transforms ventilation from “feel-based” guesswork into measurable performance. Through simulation, guided repetition, and real-world case applications, SotairIQ reinforces safe practices and builds confidence in manual ventilation.

Looking Ahead
As EMS systems continue to face challenges such as opioid overdoses, cardiac arrest survival, and resource limitations, manual ventilation training is gaining overdue focus. SafeBVM’s CAPCE-accredited manual ventilation workshop provides agencies with an opportunity to strengthen skills, reduce preventable harm, and align with the latest evidence in resuscitation science—while also earning free CAPCE continuing education credit.
The September 30th workshop is open to EMS leadership, educators, trainers, and frontline providers worldwide.
