Background Ventilation during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) has long been a part of
the standard treatment during cardiac arrests. Ventilation is usually given either during …

Little is known about the details of ventilation in the prehospital setting mainly because it has
not been adequately measured either in research studies or in practice. Measurement of …

In this issue of Resuscitation, Tangpaisarn et al. contribute to the understudied field of intra-
arrest ventilation. The authors conducted an important randomized controlled trial …

Few topics in emergency medical services (EMS) spur as much controversy as prehospital
airway management (1). Four decades ago, the training of paramedics to perform …

A bag-valve device, used routinely to ventilate 350,000 US adults each year who experience
out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), is well-suited to the prehospital setting: positive …
