Establishing effective ventilation is key to most successful neonatal resuscitations. This 90-minute skills course, taught monthly at the University of Washington, is for licensed healthcare professionals who are responsible for managing the newborn’s airway. Learn strategies for effective positive pressure ventilation, endotracheal intubation, and laryngeal mask airway placement. Attendees will review:
- neonatal airway anatomy
- indications and proper technique for positive pressure ventilation using a bag and mask and T-piece resuscitator
- indications and proper technique for laryngeal mask airway (LMA) placement
