%X Ten percent of infants require resuscitation at birth. Effective manual mask ventilation (MMV) establishes functional residual capacity and delivers tidal volumes that promote gas exchange. A standard 4 to 6-hour NRP workshop does not ensure MMV competence. In fact, studies show that MMV is ineffective in 30 to 70% of simulated resuscitations. Effective MMV requires continual evaluation, and appropriate use of corrective steps when necessary. We hypothesize that simulation-based learning with video feedback improves MMV performance compared to traditional teaching
