A 36 week gestation newborn was delivered by emergency caesarean section, intubated and given intermittent positive pressure ventilation via Neopuff™ for apnoea before being extubated to CPAP.
We observed the need for CPAP in three neonates (1%), respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in three neonates (1%), transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN) in two neonates (1%), need for resuscitation at birth in one neonate (0.5%), and apnea in one neonate (0.5%).
