Relationship between applied face mask force and mask leak during simulated neonatal ventilation: a randomised simulation study
Applied force and leak varied between devices and mask holds. Force asymmetry was present with both mask holds. Leak-free ventilation could be achieved with small forces using either an SIB or T-piece and either mask hold. Force feedback during training may improve the effectiveness and safety of neonatal ventilation.
