Respiratory metrics of neonatal positive pressure ventilation on different ventilatory rates: A simulation study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Effective ventilation is the core of neonatal resuscitation (NR). T-piece resuscitators (TPR) and self-inflating bags (SIB) are the two most widely utilized resuscitation devices. Nevertheless, limited information is available regarding the respiratory metrics during NR with these devices.

Objectives

This study aimed to evaluate the respiratory metrics at different ventilatory rates (VR) using a TPR or SIB during NR training.

Methods

An observational, simulation study was conducted during a NR training course. The participants were instructed to perform positive pressure ventilation at predetermined pressures and varying rates using TPR and SIB. They were subsequently grouped into three categories based on their actual VR: 20-40 breaths per minute (bpm) (Sl
