    Newborn resuscitation relies on effective face mask ventilation, but performance can vary even after training.1 During the initial 2 min of positive pressure ventilation (PPV), airway obstruction and mask leak are common challenges faced by neonatal healthcare providers.2 A respiratory function monitor (RFM) is a potential tool to enhance the effectiveness of PPV inflations.3 RFMs assess and display data on tidal volumes (Vt), mask leak and pressures delivered during resuscitation. A recent meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials comparing RFM and clinical assessment showed that use of an RFM was associated with reduced incidence of brain injury and intraventricular haemorrhage.4
