Observational study reveals high variability in tidal volume and mask leak during delivery room resuscitation of preterm infants, suggesting clinicians cannot reliably estimate ventilation delivery.
During face mask ventilation in the delivery room, V(T) and face mask leak were large and variable. The resuscitators were unable to accurately assess their face mask leak or delivered V(T).
