Summary

Background and Objective Bag-valve-mask (BVM) ventilation is commonly used in emergency airway management, but the positive pressure generated may increase aspiration risk. This prospective, randomized, simulation-based manikin study aimed to assess how airway pressures change during BVM ventilation using different techniques and neck mobility scenarios.

Methods The study was conducted in a tertiary university hospital between July 15 and August 15, 2024. Emergency medicine residents (PGY-1 to PGY-4) performed ten ventilations using one-hand, two-hand CE, and modified two-hand TE techniques on a manikin under normal and restricted neck mobility. Airway pressures were measured with a real-time pressure sensor. The primary outcome was peak airway pressure; the secondary was the number of ventilations exceeding 20 cmH₂O. All data were automatically recorded, and analyses were performed using SPSS 16.0 with p \< 0.05 considered significant.
