Ventilation Analysis of EM-100, CSI-3000, OXY LIFE ? and Bag-Valve Mask in Virtual Reality Ambulance SimulationVentilation Analysis of EM-100, CSI-3000, OXY LIFE ? and Bag-Valve Mask in Virtual Reality Ambulance Simulation

Abstract

Background/Objectives: The purpose of the study is to investigate the effective ventilation delivery that affects the rate of resuscitation.
Method/Statistical Analysis: The National Fire Service Academy conducted Virtual Reality (“VR”) based ambulance simulations from April 17, 2018 to April 28, 2018. The mean and standard deviations of mean ventilation and airway pressure were analyzed using descriptive statistics and ANOVA and SPSS software 12.0 (SPSS Ins., Chicago, IL, USA) program.
Findings: When VR-based intubation was performed, the ventilation was 427 ml from Oxylator EM-100, 458 ml from MicroVenT CSI-3000 and 305 ml from OXY-LIFE ?. For the airway pressure, Oxylator EM-100 showed 10.623 cmH2O, MicroVenT CSI-3000 showed 11.291 cmH2O and OXY-LIFE ? showed 6.965 cmH2O. When tracheal intubation was performed on the VR base, Oxylator EM-100 and MicroVenT CSI-3000 showed adequate ventilation and airway pressure.
Improvements/Applications: This study suggests to use an oxygenator as an efficient ventilation method after intubation in ambulance during transport. Skilled practice and the method of use of rescuer is very important.
