title: Use of respiratory function monitors during simulated neonatal resuscitation.
abstract: We describe how a Respiratory Function Monitor (RFM) can aid during simulation-based manikin training. We demonstrate how a RFM can provide quantitative and qualitative assessment of the trainee's resuscitation technique. A RFM can assist i) to identify correct mask hold and positioning techniques; ii) to assess the delivered airway pressures and adjust the inflating pressures to deliver the appropriate tidal volume.
