Comparison of two respiratory function monitors for newborn mask ventilation: A randomised crossover study using simulation.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Respiratory function monitors (RFM) provide objective feedback on respiratory parameters during face mask ventilation. While traditional RFMs display detailed waveforms, newer devices use simplified, colour-coded graphics. We aimed to compare three RFM feedback methods against a no-feedback approach, assessing ventilation parameters and user interpretation.

Methods

This simulation-based, crossover randomised study involved healthcare professionals at a tertiary neonatal centre, who received training on two RFMs: a "Coloured graphic" device (Monivent NeoTraining), offering monitor and sensor light feedback, and a "Flow curves" device (Respironics NM3). Participants performed positive pressure ventilation on a manikin across three phases: access to the "Coloured gra
