THE EFFICACY OF FACE MASK RESUSCITATION

Face mask resuscitation: does it lead to gastric distension?

Inflation and oesophageal pressures were recorded simultaneously during bag and mask resuscitation of 9 asphyxiated babies. After half a minute of standard inflation pressures, higher pressures were applied for at least 5 inflations by occluding the blow-off valve. No air entered the oesophagus until a high mean inflation pressure of 5.4 kPa was exceeded. These findings were confirmed in 4 fres...

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation: the laryngeal mask airway.

Neonatal resuscitation 3: manometer use in a model of face mask ventilation.

BACKGROUND Adequate ventilation is the key to successful neonatal resuscitation. Positive pressure ventilation (PPV) is initiated with manual ventilation devices via face masks. These devices may be used with a manometer to measure airway pressures delivered. The expiratory tidal volume measured at the mask (V(TE(mask))) is a good estimate of the tidal volume delivered during simulated neonatal...

Face Detection Using Template Face Mask

In today’s world, the importance of biometric studies is increasing day by day. Biometric face recognition study is the most widely used method in the legal environment. Commonly, face images are used in all identification systems(IDs, driver’s license, passport, etc.). In particular, to improve the social security of city life, automatic face detection and face recognition systems are needed. ...

EMT-led laryngeal tube vs. face-mask ventilation during cardiopulmonary resuscitation - a multicenter prospective randomized trial

BACKGROUND Laryngeal tube (LT) application by rescue personnel as an alternate airway during the early stages of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is still subject of debate. We evaluated ease of handling and efficacy of ventilation administered by emergency medical technicians (EMTs) using LT and bag-valve-mask (BVM) during cardiopulmonary resuscitation of patients with OHCA. METHODS An ...
