Objective A respiratory function monitor (RFM) may improve positive pressure ventilation
(PPV) technique, but many providers do not use RFM data appropriately during delivery …

Respiratory support in the delivery room remains challenging. Assessing chest rise is
imprecise, and mask leak and airway obstruction are common problems. We describe …

The initiation of ventilation in the delivery room is one of the most important but least
controlled interventions a preterm infant will face. Tidal volumes (VT) used in the neonatal …

Neonatal care has made significant advances in the last few decades. As a result, mortality
and morbidity in high-risk infants, such as extremely preterm infants or those infants with …

Tidal ventilation is essential in supporting the transition to air-breathing at birth, but
excessive tidal volume (VT) is an important factor in preterm lung injury. Few studies have …

Ineffective aeration during the first inflations at birth creates regional aeration and ventilation
defects, initiating injurious pathways. This study aimed to compare a sustained first inflation …

Background To compare tidal volume (VT) delivery with compliance at 0.5 and 1.5
mL/cmH2O using four different ventilation (PPV) devices (ie, self-inflating bag (SIB), T-Piece …

Aim The aim of this study was to assess the resuscitators' opinions of the usefulness and
clinical value of using a respiratory function monitor (RFM) when resuscitating extremely …

Face mask ventilation of apnoeic neonates is an essential skill. However, many non-
paediatric healthcare personnel (HCP) in high-resource childbirth facilities receive little …

Immediately after birth through spontaneous breaths, infants' clear lung liquid replacing it
with air, and gradually establishing a functional residual capacity to achieve gas exchange …
