What equipment is needed for neonatal resuscitation?
According to the WHO and the AAP “Helping Babies Breathe” program the list of essential equipment should include gloves, towels/cloths, head covering, scissors, ties, suction device, ventilation device, stethoscope and timer [4].

Which of the following is a resuscitation device used to ventilate newborns?
“A T-piece resuscitator device, a self inflating bag (approximately 240mL), and a flow inflating bag are all acceptable devices to ventilate newborn infants either via a face mask, supraglottic airway (laryngeal mask) or endotracheal tube” (ANZCOR 2021, Guideline 13.4).
When is neonatal resuscitation needed?
Neonatal resuscitation is used to revive a newborn who is not breathing or has other serious problems. Neonatal resuscitation is a series of emergency procedures performed by a doctor to support newborn babies who are not breathing, are gasping or have a weak heartbeat at birth.
What is PIP in neonatal resuscitation?
Peak inspiratory pressure (PIP): The highest level of pressure applied to the lungs during inhalation.
Do T-piece resuscitators deliver the desired pressure?
A comparison of three neonatal resuscitation devices The T-piece resuscitator delivered the desired pressures more accurately, but required greater time to increase the PIP from 20 to 40 cmH2O. It was difficult to maintain a prolonged inflation and deliver the desired PEEP with the self-inflating bag even with the PEEP valve in place.
How to assess the need for neonatal resuscitation?
Assessing the Need for Neonatal Resuscitation 1 Is the baby born at term? 2 Is the baby breathing/crying? 3 Does the baby have good muscle tone?
What is the most commonly used device for infant resuscitation?
In an international survey the Laerdal infant resuscitator was the most commonly used resuscitation device.4 The study aims were to determine the oxygen concentration (FiO2) delivered:
