Based on this @emcrit post and the excellent material on the EMCrit webpage we decided to try this set up using our equipment. Thanks for the great information Scott! Once again thank you to @williatar & @BBaumber for putting up with me. 😁

Regular set up, minus the flexible ETT extender. PEEP setting didn’t matter and O2 flow didn’t matter... pressure 0. 2/5
Additional O2 via M port created a pressure that matched the PEEP valve setting regardless of O2 flow through BVM. 3/5
Additional O2 via HME port created a pressure that matched the PEEP valve setting regardless of O2 flow through BVM. 4/5
Finally, CPAP with our set up. Whether O2 via M port or HME port, didn’t feel different or create different results. Our “patient” felt that supplemental O2 was a must. Too much resistance breathing through BVM alone and no noticeable CPAP. 5/5
