To apply positive airway pressure to a manual resuscitator bag during patient transport, which of the following are most appropriate?

2. Underwater seal
3. Magnetic valve
4. Weighted ball
a. 1 and 2 c. 2 and 4
b. 1 and 3 d. 3 and 4

The spring-loaded valve and the magnetic valve are the only valves that are able to be used dur-ing patient transport. The water column would be subject to leaks and possible breakage of the cylinder. The weighted ball must always be held upright and is impractical for transport.
