    Abstract:
    The Basic Airway Model is an airway manikin designed for training in mask ventilation. We investigated the ability of the Basic Airway Model to provide varying levels of difficulty for mask ventilation. Volunteers with three levels of experience (novice, intermediate and expert) attempted to ventilate the manikin at three levels of difficulty: easy, intermediate and difficult. The distribution of frequencies of successful ventilation by different groups at the three levels of difficulty were statistically significant (p < 0.0001). The median (IQR (range)) degree of difficulty was 3 (2-5 (1-7)), 4 (3-5.3 (2-7)) and 6 (5-7 (3-9)) for easy, intermediate and difficult settings, respectively. We conclude that the Basic Airway Model can provide different levels of difficulty for mask ventilation training.
