Time to Effective Ventilation in Neonatal Manikins with a Supraglottic Airway vs. a Facemask: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT: (1) Background: Timely and effective positive pressure ventilation (PPV) is the most important component of neonatal resuscitation. Emerging data supports the use of supraglottic airways such as the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) as a first-line interface for PPV during neonatal resuscitation. LMA use reduces the need for intubation compared to facemask use in systematic reviews, but there is no difference in the incidence of death or moderate-to-severe hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). Time to effective ventilation during simulation with manikin models by providers with limited neonatal airway experience may add to the current evidence that compares the LMA to the neonatal facemask as the first-line ventilation interface during neonatal resuscitation.; (2) Methods: Thirty-two pre-clinic
