 Setting up the Neopuff Infant Resuscitator

Connecting the device to a gas supply

Prior to every use, verify that the manometer reads zero
with no gas flow. If it does not, the device requires
recalibration by a biomedical technician. Contact the
appropriate department in your hospital to have the device
calibrated.
The manometer in Figure 1 shows a zero reading.

To connect the device to a gas supply:

Step 1. Locate the Gas Inlet Port on the device.

Step 2. Slide the connector on the gas supply line
firmly over the port.
Step 3. Attach the free end of the gas supply line to
the source of oxygen or oxygen/air blend.

monitored by an oxygen analyzer or preset using oxygen/
air flow rate graphs.
In order to adjust the pressure settings on the device, it is
necessary to follow these steps in sequence:

1. Set the maximum pressure

2. Set the PIP (Peak Inspiratory Pressure)

3. Set the PEEP (Positive End Expiratory Pressure)

2015 Neopuff Infant Resuscitator | 3 |

Setting up the Neopuff Infant Resuscitator

To set the Maximum Pressure:

Step 1. Ensure the gas supply is flowing at the

desired rate.
Step 2. Locate the PEEP Cap on the free end of the
T-piece circuit. The aperture can be adjusted
by twisting the cap.
Step 3. Pull the Max Pressure Cover out and pivot
the cover to the left. This will allow access to
the Max Pressure Control Knob.
Step 4. Using your finger or thumb, occlude the PEEP
cap.
Step 5. Turn the PIP Control Knob fully clockwise
until the knob cannot turn anymore.
Step 6. Watch the manometer. Continue to occlude
the PEEP Cap.
Step 7. Turn the Max Pressure Control Knob clock-
wise or counterclockwise to set the desired
maximum pressure.
Step 8. Replace the Max Pressure Cover.
Important: The factory setting for Maximum Pressure Relief is 40 cmH2O.

To set the PIP:

Step 1. Occlude the PEEP Cap with your finger or

thumb.
Step 2. Turn the PIP Control Knob counterclockwise
and, while monitoring the manometer, stop
turning the knob when the desired peak
inspiratory pressure is set.
The typical PIP setting for full-term neonates and infants is
30 cmH2O. In preterm neonates, reduce the PIP to 20-24
cmH2O to avoid lung injury.

To set the PEEP:

Step 1. Locate the PEEP Cap on the free end of the T-

piece circuit.
Step 2. Ensure the PEEP Cap is NOT occluded.
Step 3. Turn the Cap clockwise or counterclockwise
to adjust the aperture. Using the manometer
to monitor the pressure, adjust the aperture

 Testing the Neopuff Infant Resuscitator

smaller for a higher PEEP and larger for a

lower PEEP.
Step 4. Turn off the gas supply if immediate use is
not required.
A typical PEEP setting for neonates and infants is 5 cmH2O.

Testing the Neopuff Infant Resuscitator

A test lung can be used to confirm the pressures obtained
during the set up procedure.
Prior to 2012, the test lungs included with the device were
black in colour and contained latex.
Important: Latex can cause severe allergic reactions in some people.

Newer test lungs are manufactured from silicon and

contain no latex.

To test the Neopuff Infant Resuscitator:

Step 1. Ensure the gas supply is set to the desired

flow rate.
Step 2. Ensure the test lung has no obvious signs of
damage such as discolouration or holes.
Step 3. Remove the blue cap from the T-Piece.
Step 4. Slide the plastic connector of the test lung
into the T-piece.
Step 5. Alternate occluding and unblocking the PEEP
Cap with your thumb or finger. Mimic the
rhythm of the inspiratory and expiratory
phases of the respiratory cycle.
Step 6. Monitor the manometer to ensure you are
achieving the desired PIP and PEEP. If not,
adjust the settings according to the instruc-
tions on page 4 and 5.
Step 7. Turn off the gas flow when you are complete.
Step 8. Remove the test lung with plastic connector
and replace the blue cap on the T-piece.
Important: Always remove the test lung when you are complete.
Attempting to operate the device without doing so can cause unaccept-
able treatment delay.

Operating the Neopuff Infant Resuscitator

Operating the Neopuff Infant Resuscitator

The Neopuff Infant Resuscitator can be used to resuscitate
infants who are intubated or require noninvasive positive
pressure ventilation.
Operating procedures include:

• Fitting an infant mask

• Connecting the T-piece to the mask or endotracheal
tube

• Ventilating the infant

Fitting an infant mask

If your patient is intubated, skip to the next section.
Infant masks come in sizes ranging from 35 to 72mm in
diameter. They are latex-free and designed for single
patient use.
Select the most appropriate mask size to ensure the nose
and mouth of the infant are fully covered. Avoid any gaps
between the mask and the skin. This will help to create a
complete seal during the resuscitation procedure.

Connecting the T-piece to a mask or ET tube

The T-piece of the circuit is designed to be compatible with
either the infant mask or an endotracheal tube.

To connect the T-piece:

Step 1. Ensure the gas is flowing at the desired rate.

Step 2. Remove the blue cap from the T-piece.
Step 3. Insert the mask connector into the T-piece by
twisting, or, slide the T-piece firmly down
onto the connector of the ET tube.

Ventilating the infant

The Neopuff Infant Resuscitator provides a system to
provide optimal pressures and the ability to monitor those
pressures during infant resuscitation. However, it does not
provide automatic cycles of inspiratory and expiratory
phases like other mechanical ventilators. The user

| 6 | Neopuff Infant Resuscitator 2015

 Operating the Neopuff Infant Resuscitator

manually creates the cycle by alternately occluding and

unblocking the PEEP Cap.

To ventilate the infant:

Step 1. Occlude the PEEP Cap with your finger or

thumb to provide the inspiratory phase of the
cycle.
Step 2. Unblock the PEEP Cap to provide the expi-
ratory phase of the cycle.
If you are using an infant mask, you must hold the mask in
position against the infant’s face while performing this
procedure. If you are having difficulty achieving an
effective mask seal, refer to page 16.
Infant respiratory rates normally vary from 30 to 60 per
minute. This means completing the cycle of occluding and
unblocking the PEEP cap every 1 to 2 seconds. The target
rate for neonatal resuscitation is 40-60 respirations per
minute. Room air (O2 21%) is the standard starting
concentration for resuscitation of term or preterm
neonates. Guidelines for very premature neonates are less
clear. Pulse oximetry should be used to measure
oxygenation in all neonates and infants, and guide the
physician or respiratory therapist in adjusting the oxygen
concentration.
Ensure you follow Neonatal Advanced Life Support (NALS)
or Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) guidelines to
provide optimal ventilation.
The ventilation procedure must be continued until the
resuscitation is complete or the infant’s respirations are
maintained by a mechanical ventilator.

procedure. If you have difficulty achieving an effective

mask seal, refer to page 16.
Infant respiratory rates normally vary from 30 to 60 per
minute. This means completing the cycle of occluding and
unblocking the PEEP cap every 1 to 2 seconds. The target
rate for neonatal resuscitation is 40-60 respirations per

Ensure you follow Neonatal Advanced Life Support (NALS)
or Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) guidelines to
provide optimal ventilation.
The ventilation procedure must be continued until the
resuscitation is complete or the infant’s respirations are
maintained by a mechanical ventilator.

Monitoring and documenting

The manometer indicates the pressures achieved during
the inspiratory and expiratory phases of the respiratory
cycle.
Visually check the manometer to confirm these pressures.
Ensure that you document these pressures in your clinical
notes along with ventilation rate and other vital signs.
Important: During a resuscitation, look at the infant, not the manometer!

Effective ventilation is confirmed by three signs:

1. An increase in the heart rate above 100/minute.

2. A slight rise of the chest and upper abdomen with

each inflation.

3. An improvement in oxygenation.

Clinical signs of improvement in the patient are more

important than achieving a set PIP on the manometer.
