Study aim
-
Evaluation of ventilation quality by mask in three techniques E-C, Thenar Eminence and X
-
Design
-
Clinical trial, with parallel group, Not blinded, non randomized, on 310 patients.
-

-
All patients referred to the emergency department of Imam Reza Hospital, and who need an airway management, after obtaining the consent of the patient's guardian (considering that some patients referred to the emergency department are not in a position to obtain consent from them due to their clinical condition , Respiratory distress, etc. is not possible.
