The most recent Neonatal Resuscitation Programme (NRP 5th edition) guidelines recognise the T-piece resuscitator (Neopuff) device as an acceptable method of administering a pre-selected peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) and positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP). While these are constant, other parameters are operator-dependent. Although in widespread clinical use, there is little published data on the use of the T-piece resuscitator in neonatal resuscitation. This study showed that despite fixed inflating pressures, less experienced operators used prolonged inspiratory times. Wide variation in mean airway pressure and tidal volume were seen in all operators.
