Pediatric Resuscitation Skill of Bag-Tube Manual Ventilation: Developing and Using a Mobile Simulation Program to Assess Competency of a Multiprofessional PICU Team

Multiprofessional PICU team members have highly variable self-confidence with bag-tube manual ventilation using a flow-inflating bag. Observed performance demonstrates rare success with achieving targeted ventilation parameters, in particular maintenance of PEEP. Future research should focus on developing mobile simulation units to facilitate profession-specific, real-time coaching to teach high-quality manual ventilation that can be translated to the bedside.
