infants, PPV with FiO2 >40%) + surfactant
inadequate PEEP no history of administration

*CPAP failure criteria: BGA (pH<7,25,
PaCO2 > 60 mmHg, PO2 < 40 mmHg)
Respiratory distress management in
delivery room
When the baby has mild-moderate
respiratory distress start early CPAP
ASAP and OPTIMAL
Do not give free flow oxygen or nasal
cannulae
Do not withhold oxygen therapy in DR
With PEEP
Flow inflating bag
Advantages Disadvantages
Can give CPAP Cannot work if there is
no flow / gas source
Cannot have mask leak
the bag will not inflate
Variable PEEP for PPV
Flow-inflating bag
(Jackson-Rees)
Infant warmer
