摘要：
The resuscitation method and device incorporates a T-piece and/or bag and mask resuscitation device that transforms into short term (and then long term) CPAP device. This results in continuum of respiratory care in the Delivery Room, and potentially in the nursery. The respiratory support is uninterrupted. The device can include a modular design, which adds heat and humidity in a modular way, when the long term CPAP requires it. The resuscitation device and method includes a PIP phase and a PEEP phase. This is driven either manually or by a finger and gas power. The exhalation phase is PEEP, where the PEEP is a small positive pressure to ensure the lungs remain open. When the baby is spontaneously breathing, meaning no longer in need of PIP, the PEEP can be adjusted to be continuous positive pressure, or CPAP. If the CPAP is short term, there is minimal need for heating or humidifying the air. When the CPAP is used longer term, a heater and humidifier can be applied to the air source of the CPAP.
