A bag valve mask (BVM) with a reservoir typically has a volume capacity of about 1,000 to 1,500 milliliters. The reservoir bag allows for a greater volume of air to be delivered to the patient, ensuring adequate oxygenation. When used properly, it can provide positive pressure ventilation and can help maintain effective tidal volumes during resuscitation efforts. It's essential to ensure the reservoir is fully inflated before delivering breaths to maximize oxygen delivery.
