Face Mask Ventilation in Neonatal Resuscitation
Conditions
Brief summary
This trial compares the applied forces exerted on the face of a modified preterm neonatal manikin with three different face masks. Additionally, percentages of ventilation time with mask leak \<25%, and participants' opinion about perceived applied forces, difficulty in achieving an effective ventilation, and difficulty in obtaining a good mask seal are investigated.
