Devices for Administering Ventilation at Birth
During newborn resuscitation, positive pressure ventilation (PPV) is the most critical strategy. Objective for neonates receiving PPV during delivery room resuscitation, researchers compared T-piece resuscitators (TPRs), self-inflating bags (SIBs), and flow-inflating bags. Sources of information Medline, Embase, the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews are just a few of the databases available. When compared to a SIB, TPR resuscitation minimises the length of PPV and the risk of bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Because of the uncertainty of the evidence, a strong recommendation cannot be given. When used with SIBs, there is inadequate information to establish the usefulness of positive end-expiratory pressure valves.
