Knowledge and skills of pediatric residents in managing pediatric foreign body airway obstruction using novel airway clearance devices in Spain: A randomized simulation trial

Recent emergence of airway clearance devices (ACDs) as a treatment alternative for foreign body airway obstructions (FBAO) lacks substantial evidence on efficacy and safety. This study aimed to assess pediatric residents' knowledge and skills in managing a simulated pediatric choking scenario, adhering to recommended protocols, and using LifeVac© and DeCHOKER© ACDs.
