Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study

Automatic transport ventilator versus bag valve in the EMS setting: a prospective, randomized trial.

The primary objective of this study was to compare Emergency Medical Technicians-Paramedics (EMT-P) perceptions of the usefulness of an automatic transport ventilator (ATV) compared with bag valve (BV) ventilation for intubated patients. ⋯ EMT-Ps were able to accomplish more tasks, document more completely, and provide better patient care with the use of the ATV.
