Neopuff and pressures. Looking for basic simple instructions.

Hello all nicu nurses out there,

Im looking to try and understand how to use the neopuff resuscitator but want more understanding of the use of pressures, for example, when you just want to give blowby oxygen to inflation/ventilation breaths for resuscitation purposes.

I wouldnt know which pressures to use. I am trying to find a neopuff manual or guidelines.

Thank-you for any help. If anyone could explain very simply as im not well acquainted with neopuff only bag valve technique.

    I don't know anything about Neopuff because we didn't use it where I worked. Maybe the manufacturer's website would have a manual you could download. Or maybe the RTs could help you. Sorry I can't offer any other help.

    Ask an NNP on your unit. The NNP showed me how to use the neopuff when I first started L&D but they're the only ones who use it so I don't remember the settings. The nurses just use the ambu bag.

    When we do neopuff during a resus, we do PIP 20, PEEP 5. STABLE class backs this up. I've become a big fan of neopuff since being baby nurse at deliveries. We still keep an ambu bag around, but neopuff beats bagging a baby almost any day of the week.

    If all we have to do is blowby O2, we still go old-school with a cupped hand and regular oxygen tubing.

    20/5 is what we generally used, too, in the absence of other orders. If a baby had been on a vent, I'd use the same settings on the neo puff.
