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

NCT ID NCT07681960

First seen Jul 02, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026

Summary

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.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Size 1 ProSeal™ LMA

What this could lead to

If successful, this could change resuscitation guidelines to avoid pausing chest compressions, potentially improving outcomes for newborns.

What could go wrong

This is a small simulation study with 32 anesthesiologists using a manikin, not real patients. Results may not translate to actual clinical settings.
