Neopuff T-piece mask resuscitator: is mask leak related to watching the pressure dial?
This study provides reassurance that NP mask leak is not greater when resuscitators watch the NP pressure dial. Mask leak is related to TVe. Mask ventilation training with manikins should include tidal volume measurements.
Our data suggest synergy between increased pO(2) and lipopolysaccharide for macrophage TNF and interleukin-6 production. Similar pO(2) elevations may occur with an open peritoneum or high supplemental O(2). Cytokines from peritoneal macrophages may contribute to the increased systemic inflammation after open operations.
