Table 1. Summary statistics for MVEase.

MVEase Frequency (percentage)
N=1399
0 = easy 752 (53.8)
1 = Oral airway used 523 (37.4)
2 = Two handed ventilation 118 (8.4)
3 = Extraglottic device
required
6 (0.4)

* Mask ventilation was considered easy for MVEase classes 0 and 1 and difficult for MVEase classes 2 and 3. Local practice patterns often include placement of an oral airway for routine bag mask ventilation.
