Demonstrates that minimizing face mask leak during simulated neonatal resuscitation frequently causes airway obstruction, suggesting training must address both issues.
Mask ventilation during simulated neonatal resuscitation was often hampered by large leaks at the face mask. Moderate airway obstruction occurred frequently when effort was taken to minimise leak. Training in mask ventilation reduced mask leak but should also focus on preventing airway obstruction.
