The American Red Cross has just added use of the bag-valve-mask (BVM) to
the CPR/FPR (CPR for the Professional Rescuer Course.)  Pretty interesting.

CPR/FPR replaces the old BLS level qualification.  It is one step above
the standard course level (Community CPR, or Adult CPR + Infant & Child CPR.)
CPR/FPR is intended for people who may be in a position where they are
required to perform CPR etc. - such as a cop, a fire fighter, a lifeguard,
a sports trainer, or per NAUI a rescue diver.
