Tidal volume delivery and endotracheal tube leak during cardiopulmonary resuscitation in intubated newborn piglets with hypoxic cardiac arrest exposed to different modes of ventilatory support
BACKGROUND: There are few data available on the interaction of inflations, chest compressions (CC), and delivery of tidal volumes in newborn infants undergoing resuscitation in the presence of endotracheal tube (ET) leaks. OBJECTIVES: To determine the effects of different respiratory support strategies along with CC on changes in tidal volume and ET leaks in hypoxic newborn piglets with cardiac arrest. ... Read more
