Ritu Sahni, EMS Medical Director:
"If the answer to a problem is always, "You all just need to do a better job," then that problem is screaming for an engineered solution. The Goldilocks Valve takes the human element out of stressful situations and prevents dangerous over-ventilation."
Justin Cook, Emergency Medicine Physician/Director of Education for MD Group:
"This device is an ingeniously elegant solution to a vexing problem in resuscitation. Years from now, Goldilocks will be acknowledged as an indispensable win for the care of critically ill patients."
Tim Janchar, MD, Emergency Medicine:
"This product will greatly help to prevent overbagging during stressful code situations."
Noah McManus, Trauma/Emergency RN & Clinical Nurse Educator:
"In my professional experience, hyperventilation and over use of a standard BVM have been detrimental to vulnerable patient population such as those who have just achieved ROSC. The use of the Goldilocks Valve could mitigate this problem and lead to focused neuro protection and better patient outcomes."
Rhanda Zigler, RN Educator/Emergency Services:
"This is a user-friendly device that removes adrenaline-induced hyperventilation, allowing healthcare providers to provide the best patient care despite factors that make doing so difficult."
Mike Verkest, EMS Training Officer/A.A.S./FP-C/CCP-C/Paramedic:
"As an EMS Educator and Training Officer, I can tell you the best way to manage rate and volume during a resuscitation is putting the patient on a mechanical ventilator. Unfortunately, that is NOT a reality for most EMS Systems in the United States.
What we rely on, is our professionals knowing that they should put "x" amount of volume and “x" amount of breaths per minute. That is fine and dandy, but I can tell you, this is not trainable. We think it is...practice makes perfect right? Not in this case. I’ve seen it over and over, and it’s really no fault of the providers, it’s just a complex skill and very few have mastered it. The more we tell our providers to "do a better job" the more it becomes apparent the tool we have is not correct for the job. Once the human factors (adrenaline, stress, etc.) enter the picture, all bets are off...not to mention, we (EMS) tend to put the least trained person on the manual resuscitator (BVM). Now, rate and volume can be all over the place. Even when we are our most diligent, we can lose track on where we are when delivering breaths.
The Goldilocks Valves device is absolutely critical in making sure we do not hyperventilate or hyper-inflate our patients. Mismanagement of just 1 of those 2 conditions can have dire consequences and can really be the difference between saving or losing a life.
This is a slam dunk. Let's get the Goldilocks Valves to production and in the hands of providers NOW."
Jeff Birrer, Paramedic/Regional Course Director of the Difficult Airway Course, EMS:
"I have been a paramedic and EMS educator for over 30 years. When Bobbi Sue first showed me the Goldilocks I was in!!! This device will save lives and more importantly brains!!! I believe the Goldilocks Valves will without a doubt stop hyperventilation, not only of cardiac arrest patients, but also of other at risk patients. Examples of these patients are Traumatic Brain Injury and Severe shock patients just to name a couple."
Terra Buchanan, Master CPR Trainer/EMT-B/ED Tech:
"As a trainer and an active working EMT, I was blown away by how simple the Goldilocks was to use. It allowed me to focus on other patient care instead of counting in my head for timing of breaths. It allowed me to keep a better eye on all vital signs instead of worrying about how much volume the patient was getting. Its honestly fool proof and will make teaching my students easier and more efficient. I would recommend it to our ambulance company and to the hospital I work at. Amazing device."
Jen Krebsback, Emergency RN:
"When a patient stops breathing a medical responder is trained to provide life sustaining breaths with precise volume and timing. The current functionality of a bag valve mask offers no assistance with this required precision. When left to human estimating in the setting of an emergency, hyperventilation is a common result that undermines resuscitative efforts and has negative impacts on the health outcomes of our loved ones. In the medical community the problem is known to be long standing, well researched and solution-less, until now!
The Goldilocks Valve is revolutionary for emergency medicine. It functions simply and effectively; allowing a medical responder to administer breaths with the required precision known to optimize healthy outcomes. It's an essential medical device that allowed me to administer CPR with a level of confidence I have never experienced after nearly a decade of training. I want to experience this level of confidence every time I resuscitate knowing that I am offering my patient the opportunity for the highest quality recovery--To do so, I need access to the Goldilocks Valve in my emergency department."
Alan Oulman, RN/Emergency Services Educator:
"I feel that the Goldilocks valves will be the gold standard BVM when needing to assist a patient with respirations!"
Dawn Poetter, Paramedic/Educator:
"I do both patient care and Education. Healthcare providers are not good at controlling BVM rate and volume. This device does both, takes the guesswork out and our patients get what they need. This device has been needed for a long time. I am excited to have it available. It will become the gold standard."
Mike Mann, Firefighter:
"As a person who uses BVMs in a multitude of situations, the Goldilocks Valves take the guess work out of ventilation. So easy to use and precise."
Endrea Koehn, RN:
"Despite training and familiarity with code situations providers can hyperventilate a patient. By simply adding this device to the resuscitation, the risk of hyperventilation can be eliminated, providing a better outcome for every patient."
Katie Schafer, Emergency RN:
"I was super impressed with how easy it was to use. This device makes proper ventilation techniques a breeze."
Mitch Porterfield, Emergency Department Technician:
"The Goldilocks Valve fills a critical role in emergency resuscitation adding a level of protection that helps caregivers deliver the appropriate amount of ventilation to patients. This will help ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients, and is a product that we are eagerly awaiting."
Melanie Hamlin, RN:
"During the research study, I took part in two mock codes. When providing breaths with a regular bag, I had to continuously watch the clock, to provide a breath every 6 seconds. With the Goldilocks valve, which has a timer that re-inflates itself in 5 seconds, I was able to participate in the code while providing breaths since I didn't have to continuously watch the clock.
This invention is brilliant and I cannot wait until it is in use!!!"
Susan Myers, Emergency/Critical Care RN:
"Hyperventilation is so easy to do! Resuscitations are noisy and chaotic. Trying to count and pay attention to the rapidly changing needs of a patient while adrenaline is pumping is nearly impossible to do perfectly. Goldilocks Valves makes you bag at the proper rate and reduces some of the stress. Most importantly it protects patients and will contribute to better outcomes and less secondary problems."
Tracy Strylewicz-Crossman, RN:
"In my 25 years of nursing I have seen way too many patients "over bagged". Either too fast, too much air, wrong size bag. This device could potentially help millions of people."
Tyler Mitchell, EMT/Hospital Security:
"I was fortunate enough to physically touch and use the Goldilocks Valve next to the current standard BVM. Goldilocks takes a substantial (nearly all) of the human error out of bagging a patient. "
Dawn Wallace, Emergency RN:
"I have 14 years of RN experience and I am excited for the Goldilocks valve to come into the hospital setting. I believe this system will prevent hyperventilation in many environments (EMS and Critical Care situations all over the hospital) where things happen fast and actions/reactions sometimes even faster. This appears to be a fool-proof system that will provide safer ventilation for all and, most importantly, better outcomes for our patients."
Kyle LaClair, Paramedic:
"Due to our current knowledge of airway management this is an much needed upgrade to an outdated product."
Michael Herbert, Paramedic:
"This will save lives!"
Renee Storm, RN:
"I appreciate that the guesswork is removed by using the Goldilocks Valves. When using it I KNOW that I'm giving the correct volume of air to the patient (based on my assessment of the patient size and then turning the value to that volume ) and I'm not over or under bagging the patient."
Niki Finley, Emergency RN:
"This would be an invaluable device during a chaotic code situation."
Vonda Bitikofer, Emergency/Trauma Resuscitation RN:
"The Goldilocks Valve is a simple solution to a major problem. Anytime medical procedures can be improved in a simple manner, especially when it does not require any additional training or education for the provider, it is better for the patient."
Evan Kogen, Emergency RN:
"This has to become a reality. It's common sense. There is enough to worry about when your in a code. It's one less thing to think about when a life is at stake."
Jeannie Jacobs, Emergency/Critical Care RN:
"After having had the opportunity to use a bag valve mask (BVM) equipped with the Goldilocks valve, I am stunned there is even a question regarding its value. It is so superior to a traditional BVM. The Goldilocks Valve system creates a safer mechanism for proper ventilation of patients who are unable to breathe on their own. BVMs without the Goldilocks valve are way too collapsible. I would even describe them as floppy. This easy collapsibility makes it way too likely to over-oxygenate a patient by squeezing the bag too quickly. I see this happen often, especially during codes where tensions are high and people tend to do things quickly. It should be the standard of care for all BVMs to be fitted with a Goldilocks valve. Everyone deserves to have their best chance at survival, and this will certainly help. "
Bree Chatwin, RN:
"As a newly graduated Registered Nurse with little experience with bag-valve mask ventilation, I appreciated the consistency and accuracy of the Goldilocks valve. During the mock code, I found myself not only losing track of time, but my pressure varied with the standard bag. I believe that the Goldilocks valve has solved a simple but deadly problem and I am proud to have been a part of improving best practice standards."
Jen Hawes, RN/BSN/CEN/Trauma:
"You don't have to think about rate and volume while bagging, this valve does it for you! Freeing up the mind to think about the critical condition of the patient."
Amy Ristoff, RN:
"This new equipment NEEDS to be introduced to healthcare world wide! It will literally change the standard of care for resuscitation!"
Janelle Woolard, RN:
"The Goldilocks Valves provides time to think and multitask during high stress situations. Why make a mistake and potentially destroy someone's life when the goal is to save and improve it. While using the product I felt so at ease, anyone could use it!"
Matt King, Critical Care Paramedic:
"Our current BVM models and styles have great safety features that have been built into them over the years, but they are not safe enough. They are too large for their respective patient populations(at least the adult versions are) and easily allow too large of Vt to be delivered w/o knowing it. They give zero feedback on volumes delivered and no regulation on rate and timing of breaths delivered. They are at best an ancient design. Well here is the answer to address all these patient safety issues. Please help this company get their feet off the ground and allow them to fly through development, research, collaboration, and sales."
Celeste Descloux, RN/BSN:
"It' a NO BRAINER. Literally. Enough said. Why aren't we using these yet?"
Jayna Moceri-Brooks, Emergency RN:
"It is amazing to be able to ventilate a patient and be a part of other aspects of the code, rather than solely focusing on counting and watching the clock while ventilating. In addition, the stress of remembering to ventilate, especially during transport, is removed with Goldilocks because it provides a tactile cue."
Tony Sollars, Trauma Resuscitation RN:
"As someone who frequently uses a BVM at work, this device simplifies and makes our job easier, with better patient outcomes."
Barbara Bush, Emergency RN:
"I am excited to test drive the Goldilocks Valve as soon as possible in the Emergency Departments that I work in!!!!!!!!! Heck I want to to teach and help distribute them."
Cheren Housely, Emergency RN:
"Being in emergency medicine I depend highly on the respiratory therapists to manage airway in a code situation. That being said I don't always feel comfortable managing an ambu bag. Using the bag with the Goldilocks Valves, I felt very comfortable in knowing that I was giving my patient adequate volume and not over oxygenating them due to the adrenaline of the moment. I highly recommend this product. Genius!"
Paul Fitzpatrick, Clinical Research Coordinator/Emergency Medical Scribe:
"This device will help save lives and maintain adequate acid/base levels via standardized, consistent ventilation. We need this NOW!"
Tiffany Anderson, Emergency RN:
"This device is a perfect addition to the chaos of the code situation. It assisted the medical personal in providing the best care possible to save a person's life."
David Della Paolera, Respiratory Therapist:
"Would be a useful device during airway management."
Melanie Ertons, RN:
"This device will help prevent harm to patients. It allows for good control of breaths being deliver with accurate tidal volumes for age. Great device, would love to use it."
Emilie Minney, Emergency RN:
"Loved the device, and the experience. Can't wait to use it to save a life!"
Karis Kerbs, Emergency RN:
"Using the Goldilocks was very different from the standard BVM. I tried to over breathe for my patient but it takes 5-6 seconds for the nag to refill before you can squeeze it again, and each squeeze only delivers a preset volume of air so I was unable to give more volume more rapidly."
Amanda Castello, Emergency RN:
"This product has the potential to save lives and improve patient outcomes. Fully support!"
Elizabeth Weissbart, RN/BSN:
"If we can achieve better for our patients, we should. First, do no harm."
