Dear Sir, Dr Hawkes is right, if a gas flow meter that will deliver very high flows when turned up to its maximum flow, which may be over 80 L/min, is used with the Neopuff then if the flow is increased about the set level dangerously high levels of PIP and PEEP will be delivered. What is not commonly known is that some flow meters that are marked to deliver a flow from 0 to 15 L/min can deliver these very high flows whi...

Dear Editor,
We would like respond to the eLetter from Dr Schmoelzer et al, regarding our paper entitled "Potential Hazard of the Neopuff T-Piece Resuscitator in the Absence of Flow Limitation".
Dr Schmoelzer et al have verified our findings that even an increase in flow from 5-15L/min will bring about a four-fold increase in PEEP, a serious potential hazard of the Neopuff. His failure to reproduce...

Dear Editor,
With great interest we read the article “Potential hazard of the Neopuff T- piece resuscitator in the absence of flow limitation” by Hawkes CP and colleagues.
We were concerned by the possibility of exceeding the set Pmax during positive pressure ventilation with a Neopuff T-Piece Resuscitator, because we did not expect this, and so we decided to do our own studies. We used a Florian Res...
