Laryngeal Mask Ventilation during Neonatal Resuscitation: A Case Series

Year: 2022

Type: article

Abstract: Positive pressure ventilation via a facemask is a critical step in neonatal resuscitation but may be a difficult skill for frontline providers or trainees to master. A laryngeal mask is an alternative to endotracheal intubation for some newborns who require an advanced airway. We present the first case series in the United States in which a laryngeal mask was successfully utilized during resuscitation of newborns greater than or equal to 34 weeks' gestation following an interdisciplinary quality improvement collaborative and focused training program.
