Abstract
BACKGROUND: At birth, infants' lungs are fluid-filled; this fluid must be replaced by air to allow for effective breathing. Some infants are judged to have inadequate breathing at birth and are resuscitated with positive pressure ventilation (PPV). Giving prolonged (sustained) inflations at the start of PPV may help clear lung fluid and establish gas volume in the lungs. OBJECTIVES: To assess the efficacy of initial sustained (> one second duration) lung inflation compared to standard inflations (≤ one second) in newly born infants receiving resuscitation with intermittent PPV. SEARCH METHODS: We searched on PubMed (1966 to 1 February 2015), EMBASE (1980 to 1 February 2015) and the Cochrane ..
