Observational StudyPrematurely born infants' response to resuscitation via an endotracheal tube or a face mask.
Prematurely born infants may be resuscitated in the labour suite via a face mask or an endotracheal tube. ⋯ Initial resuscitation via an endotracheal tube using currently recommended pressures, rarely produced adequate tidal volumes. Resuscitation via an endotracheal tube or a face mask was most effective when the infant's inspiratory effort coincided with an inflation.
