When providing bag and mask ventilation, the nurse should extend the patient's neck to open the airway by pulling the chin and jaw upward and squeeze the bag to its full volume with the hand opposite that holding the mask. Providing bag and mask ventilation to a patient during the perioperative procedure may be necessary if the patient unexpectedly develops respiratory distress and cannot get enough oxygen without support. Perioperative nurses typically must practice using bag and mask ventilation to review and keep their skills up to date.
