    AbstractThe appropriate role for laryngeal masks during delivery room resuscitation has not been established. The authors systematically reviewed the literature to answer three clinical questions: (1) In newborns requiring positive-pressure ventilation for resuscitation, would a laryngeal mask achieve safe and effective ventilation faster than facemask ventilation? (2) In newborns unable to be ventilated effectively with a facemask during resuscitation, would a laryngeal mask achieve effective ventilation faster than endotracheal intubation? (3) In newborns requiring resuscitation, would a laryngeal mask achieve effective ventilation when facemask ventilation and endotracheal intubation have been unsuccessful?
