[Briefing improves the management of a difficult mask ventilation in infants : Simulator study using Web-based decision support].

CONCLUSION: Briefings prior to anaesthesia induction in paediatric anaesthesia should include management of unanticipated problems. In a simulation setting, a briefing on treatment steps for an unexpected difficult airway improves management of an upper airway obstruction. Explicit communication of intended actions by the anaesthesiologist may foster speaking up by team members. PMID: 27565996 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
