How much tidal volume is recommended to produce visible chest rise in an adult patient using a bag-mask device?

The recommended tidal volume for producing visible chest rise in an adult patient using a bag-mask device is 6-7 mL/kg. This volume is considered effective for ensuring appropriate ventilation while minimizing the risk of complications such as barotrauma or gastric insufflation.

Using a tidal volume in this range allows for the delivery of adequate ventilation to meet the patient's needs, as this volume typically helps achieve effective chest rise. Proper chest rise is a critical indicator that air is being adequately delivered to the lungs. Excessively low volumes may not result in sufficient air exchange, while excessively high volumes can lead to potential harm by over-inflating the lungs.

Therefore, aiming for 6-7 mL/kg strikes a balance between effectiveness and safety when ventilating an adult patient in a resuscitation scenario.
