متن کاملFacemask ventilation and neuromuscular blockade in anesthetized patients.
To the Editor: In a thought-provoking study, assessing the effects of muscle relaxants on facemask ventilation (FMV) in the anesthetized patients with normal upper airway anatomy, Ikeda et al.1 showed that rocuronium did not deteriorate FMV without airway interventions, and FMV was improved after succinylcholine administration in association with airway dilation during pharyngeal fasciculation....
متن کاملAn evaluation of bag-valve-mask ventilation using an ergonomically designed facemask among novice users: a simulation-based pilot study.
PURPOSE We sought to compare the ability of novice operators to provide artificial ventilation using a standard facemask and a new ergonomically designed facemask.
