About

We hypothesized that the BONFILS is beneficial for intubation of manikins while performing CPR. In the current study we compared the performance of the BONFILS and the Macintosh laryngoscopes with respect to their effectiveness and time to successful ETI during chest compression (CC) using an adult manikin.

Endotracheal intubation without chest compressions

Experimental group

Description:

Endotracheal intubation of mannikin during resuscitation without chest compressions.

Treatment:

Device: Bonfils

Device: Macintosh

Endotracheal intubation with uninterrupted chest compressions

Experimental group

Description:

Endotracheal intubation of mannikin during resuscitation with uninterrupted chest compressions. In order to simulate the difficulties associated with intubation during uninterrupted chest compressions, CPR was performed by using LUCAS-2 (Physio-Control, Redmond, WA, U.S.).
