Laryngeal mask use during neonatal resuscitation at birth: A United States-based survey of neonatal resuscitation program providers and instructors.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

Neonatal resuscitation guidelines promote the laryngeal mask (LM) interface for positive pressure ventilation (PPV), but little is known about how the LM is used among Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) Providers and Instructors. The study aim was to characterize the training, experience, confidence, and perspectives of NRP Providers and Instructors regarding LM use during neonatal resuscitation at birth.

Methods

A voluntary anonymous survey was emailed to all NRP Providers and Instructors. Survey items addressed training, experience, confidence, and barriers for LM use during resuscitation. Associations between respondent characteristics and outcomes of both LM experience and confidence were assessed using logistic regression.

Results
