Brief Summary

Each year, almost 3 million newborn babies die within their first month of life, often as a consequence of labour complications. Approximately 5% of newborns will not start breathing at birth and need immediate help. The optimal ventilation strategy with liquid-filled lungs has not been determined. Animal studies suggest that assisted ventilation with positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) improves the aeration of liquid-filled lungs leading to more rapid recovery. However, no large human clinical studies have investigated the clinical responses to assisted ventilation with PEEP in asphyxiated newborns.
