title: End user bag-mask ability and perceptions of two infant resuscitation mannequins.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To examine user ability and preference in performing bag-mask ventilation (BMV) with four different configurations of infant mannequins.
  
  
  METHODS
  Participants provided a 30-second period of BMV to a Resusci Baby mannequin (RB), NeoNatalie mannequin (NN), NN filled with air (NNA), NN filled with water (NNW) and NN filled with 50% air and 50% water mix (NNAW). Participants rated the fidelity of each configuration.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Of the 20 participants, 65% rated NNW as having a high level of fidelity (HLF) 'to hold' (50% for NNAW, 10% for RB and 0% for NNA) (p < 0.001). Half rated NNAW as having a HLF in 'tone' (40% for NNW, 20% for RB and 5% for NNA) (p = 0.008). About 45% of participants rated NNAW as having a HLF in 'appearance' (45% for the RB, 20% for NNA and 15% for NNW) (p = 0.035). About 35% of participants rated NNAW as having a HLF in how it 'felt to touch' (30% for NNW, 15% for RB and 10% for NNA) (p = 0.008). Half of participants rated NNAW as having a HLF in terms of 'weight' (45% for NNW, 40% for RB and 0% for NNA) (p = 0.003). Participants delivered the greatest number of effective ventilations to the NNW mannequin.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The NNW and NNAW configurations had the highest fidelity and had the highest percentage of effective ventilations delivered.
