Assessment of effectiveness of cricoid pressure in preventing gastric insufflation during bag and mask ventilation: A randomized controlled trial

Background: Rapid sequence induction and intubation (RSII) with application of “Cricoid pressure ” and avoidance of “facemask ventilation ” (FMV) is believed to minimize the risk of pulmonary aspiration of gastric contents during general anesthesia.
