About

This is a simulation study with a prospective randomized cross-over design. The aim of this study is to evaluate whether Amflow-assisted ambu-bag can delivery the accurate tidal volume compare to ordinary ambu-bag

Full description

Ambu-bag ventilation is an essential skill to the patients who needed ventilatory support. However, the delivery of appropriate amount of tidal volume by ordinary manual bag ventilation may be difficult. In addition, it require adequate training to rescurer.

We hypothesised that an Amflow assist ambu bag may be helpful to delivery accurate tidal volumes to the patients.

Participants performed bag-valve ventilation to manikin by ordinary technique and Amflow assist technique in our simulation centre. We measured each ventilation rate and ventilation volume in simulated scenario and we compare those between two technique.
