Can you effectively bag a pt in a semi-fowlers position?

    • It's worth a shot assuming you can get a seal with the BVM

I wrote my reply to this thread when I was still a second year resident and under 30 years old.

Well, feel free to contribute to the conversation now. I'm glad I bumped it so you could see it!:D

Oh I was a member of the page back then lol.  We bag people sitting up all the time, especially the exacerbations that we are prepping to intubate, RT will bag them in fowlers while we're drawing up the RSI meds.

yep..no reason not too, there. Intubating sitting up, or semi fowler's makes things a little easier too.

There is no reason it can't be done.  If you can get a good seal supine, you can get a good seal sitting upright.  I've done it a few times.
