A pocket mask is designed with a one-way valve to provide mouth-to-mask ventilation, ensuring that the rescuer can breathe into the mask to deliver breaths to the patient without the risk of cross-contamination. It is sealed similarly to a bag-valve mask (BVM), with the clinician ensuring a tight seal around the patient's mouth and nose to effectively deliver breaths. It does not operate similarly to a simple face mask, which is used to deliver higher concentrations of oxygen to a breathing patient and does not facilitate mouth-to-mask ventilation.
