Do-It-Yourself Simulation: Airway Skills & Bag-Valve-Mask Ventilation Introduction

Simulation training can improve pediatric emergency care and pediatric preparedness. Sometimes, a barrier to use of simulation is the expense of simulation equipment. This is part one of a two-part series on how to use a low-cost simulation model to practice bag-valve-mask technique in pediatric patients. Part one is a review of bag-valve-mask ventilation as well as low-cost simulation equipment options, presented by Dr. Ashley Foster.
