Current guidelines recommend fixed peak inflation pressure in resuscitation, linked to lung and brain injury. The Next Step Neonatal Resuscitator, a cost-effective device, offers volume-targeted positive pressure ventilation with consistent tidal volumes. With two different compliances, the Next Step Neonatal Resuscitator delivered a consistent tidal volume which was similar to a mechanical ventilator. The Next Step Neonatal Resuscitator outperformed self-inflating bags and T-Pieces in delivering targeted tidal volumes. The Next Step Neonatal Resuscitator could be an alternative ventilation device for neonatal resuscitation.
