Introduction: T-piece resuscitator (TPR) has many advantages compared to self-inflating bag (SIB). Early Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) during newborn resuscitation (NR) with TPR at delivery can reduce intubation rate.
Methods: We speculated that the intubation rate at delivery room was high because SIB had always been used during NR and this can be improved with TPR. Intubation rate of newborn 50%. An audit was carried out in June 2010 to verify this problem using a check sheet.
Results: 25 neonates without major congenital anomalies who required NR with SIB at delivery were included. Intubation rate of babies
