Jaw-thrust and bag-mask ventilation usually provide adequate oxygenation in @entity1 with @entity1224 ( @entity1224 ). It is the treatment of choice for @entity1 on the way to hospital or in an emergency department until definitive stabilization is achieved with available resources. We report three fatal case studies showing ineffective bag-mask ventilation in @entity1224 that raise concerns over this treatment. Case 1 is a 4-year-old @entity1 with @entity5847 who @entity3885 during transport to the hospital. Case 2 is a 3-year-old @entity1 with @entity5847 who @entity3885 during transport to the hospital. Case 3 is a 3-year-old @entity1 with @entity1800 and @entity1576 just after the admission. Should the approach of bag-mask ventilation in @entity1224 change to ventilate @entity1 in the prone position? This approach offers two advantages. First, gravity helps the @entity2582 fall forward, reducing the @entity1224 . Second, if the @entity1 vomits during ventilation, the vomit will fall to the floor. During bag-mask ventilation in @entity1 with severe partial @entity1224 , ventilation pressure is high. Gastric inflation may occur and rapidly distend the stomach. This @entity356 interferes with ventilation by elevating the diaphragm, resulting in a decreased lung volume. Cricoid pressure could prevent @entity356 in these instances and should be recommended.

Bag-mask ventilation as a temporizing measure in XXXX : does it really work?
