Grants

Funding Acknowledgements

The authors acknowledge the support of the Life Saving Victoria Research Department, and in particular Dr Bernadette Matthews. The authors particularly thank the volunteer lifesavers who gave up their time to participate, without whom the study would not have been possible. The study was supported by an unrestricted research grant from the Australian Resuscitation Council-Victorian Branch. A small volume of iGel devices were supplied by Mayo Healthcare, a distributer of the iGel. Neither the Australian Resuscitation Council Victorian Branch nor Mayo or its representatives had any involvement nor influence over the study initiation, design, recruitment, data collection, analysis, authorship, submission or distribution of the study.
