Cytokine concentrations in the babies resuscitated with conventional lung inflation compared with those resuscitated with sustained lung inflation
| CLI | SLI | p Value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Values are median (range) expressed as pg/ml bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. | |||
| CLI, Conventional lung inflation (two seconds); SLI, sustained lung inflation (five seconds); IL, interleukin; TNFα, tumour necrosis factor α. | |||
| IL6 | 790 (104–19708) (n = 21) | 1156 (42–15192) (n = 18) | 0.69 |
| IL1β | 38 (5–2590) (n = 20) | 43 (0–663) (n = 19) | 0.86 |
| IL10 | 652 (78–1993) (n = 21) | 608 (0–1242) (n = 19) | 0.67 |
| TNFα | 25 (0–1838) (n = 19) | 21 (0–143) (n = 15) | 0.50 |
