Abstract

Objective We sought to determine the effect of stimulation during positive pressure ventilation (PPV) on the number of spontaneous breaths, exhaled tidal volume (VTe), mask leak and obstruction. Design Secondary analysis of a prospective, randomised trial comparing two face masks. Setting Single-centre delivery room study. Patients Newborn infants ≥34 weeks’ gestation at birth. Methods Resuscitations were video recorded. Tactile stimulations during PPV were noted and the timing, duration and surface area of applied stimulus were recorded. Respiratory flow waveforms were evaluated to determine the number of spontaneous breaths, VTe, leak and obstruction. Variables were recorded throughout eac..
