401 Ventilation Parameters during Resuscitation: Comparison of two Different Devices in a Mannequin Model with and without Distraction

Abstract

Positive pressure ventilation is a common intervention in neonatal resuscitation. Distraction, type of device and experience may influence performance. Studies have not included self-inflating bags (SIB) equipped with a PIP manometer and expiratory PEEP valve. We aimed to compare clinicians’ ability to ventilate a mannequin using a SIB with additional manometers against a T-piece (TP), with and without distraction. 50 medical and nursing staff were tested using standarised case scenarios with a leak free intubated mannequin. Participants targeted PIP 30 cmH2O, PEEP 5 cmH2O, inflation rate (IR) 60 inflations/minute with both devices in randomised order. We analysed PIP, PEEP, IR, expired tida..
