Comparison of face masks in the bag-mask ventilation of a manikin 1

Abstract

There was a large variation in both performance and satisfaction between anaesthetists with each design. This highlights the importance of having a variety of face masks available for emergency use.

Improved techniques reduce face mask leak during simulated neonatal resuscitation: study 2

“…If this were the case it is likely that the most experienced clinicians would have lower leaks; however we found a wide and similar variation across all professional categories. This variation in performance irrespective of experience was previously reported 9 20. If experience was important then we would have expected the leak to be lower with a familiar mask than with a new mask; this was not the case.…”

Effect of metronome rates on the quality of bag-mask ventilation during metronome-guided 30:2 cardiopulmonary resuscitation: A randomized simulation study

“…[13] Current 2015 CPR Guidelines recommend to give each rescue breath with enough volume to make the victim's chest rise. [7] Several variables such as patient factors, [14][15][16] device factors, [2,17] and rescuer factors [18][19][20][21] can affect successful bag-mask ventilation (visible chest rise) during CPR. Authors have realized that delivering adequate tidal volume (visible chest rise) over 1 second while maintaining peak airway pressure less than 20 mmHg is an extremely difficult task.…”

Modifizierter Zweihelferreanimationsalgorithmus

“…Die Maskenbeatmung ist insbesondere in Notfallsituationen eine anspruchsvolle Maßnahme, und in einem nichtunerheblichen Teil der Fälle kommt es zu Undichtigkeiten oder Mageninsufflation [2,25]. Zudem kann die vom ERC und der American Heart Association (AHA) empfohlene Maskenbeatmung mit 2 Händen [1,21] in der Zweihelfersituation nicht realisiert werden.…”
