NCT ID NCT07591909

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested three different hand positions for bag-valve-mask ventilation on a manikin to see which one keeps airway pressures low enough to avoid stomach inflation. Forty-six emergency medicine residents participated, performing ventilations with normal and restricted neck movement. The goal was to find the safest technique for real-life emergencies.
