Could skipping pauses in CPR save more newborns? simulation study tests faster airway placement

This study tests whether a laryngeal mask airway (LMA) can be inserted during continuous chest compressions in a newborn resuscitation simulation. Standard guidelines recommend pausing compressions to insert an airway, but this interrupts blood flow. Thirty-two anesthesiologists will try inserting the LMA both with and without pausing chest compressions on a high-fidelity manikin to compare success rates, timing, and air leakage.
