The purpose of this study is to compare performance characteristics of a standard Bag-Valve-Mask (BVM) and a standard BVM with the addition of an after-market handle designed to assist with one handed ventilation through measurement of delivered tidal volume and percentage of delivered breaths in the optimal tidal volume range (500-700 ml) or a volume large enough to cause chest rise in a manikin model.
