Initially, 100% oxygen should be used during neonatal resuscitation. As soon as possible, it is recommended to titrate the oxygen concentration to maintain the oxygen saturation within the target range (typically 90-95%). Overexposure to high levels of oxygen can lead to adverse effects such as oxidative stress and retinopathy of prematurity.
Initially, it is recommended to start with room air (21% oxygen) for resuscitation of a newborn at 34 weeks' gestation who is not breathing at birth. If the infant does not respond and positive-pressure ventilation is required, an oxygen concentration of 21-30% should be used. Monitoring with pulse oximetry can help guide adjustments in oxygen therapy to maintain oxygen saturation within target ranges.
Typically, a concentration of 100% oxygen is used when starting positive-pressure ventilation to maximize oxygen delivery to the patient's lungs. This helps to rapidly increase oxygen levels in the blood and tissues while addressing any potential hypoxemia. Once stable oxygenation is achieved, the oxygen concentration can be adjusted based on the patient's condition.
When beginning positive pressure ventilation (PPV) for a 34-week neonate, it is recommended to start with an initial oxygen concentration of 21% (room air) and titrate based on the infant's oxygen saturation levels. Adjust the oxygen concentration gradually to maintain oxygen saturation within the target range (usually 90-95%). Close monitoring and frequent assessment are essential to prevent both hypoxia and hyperoxia.
Water or liquid move naturally from lower concentration to higher concentration. The drive force is called osmotic pressure. No additional pressure need to drive osmosis process. Reverse osmosis, is apply pressure to fight against osmotic pressure. It do need additional pressure to reverse the osmosis process. It is comparing a zero additional pressure with any positive additional pressure thus of cause reverse osmosis require more pressure.
In a gas mixture, the concentration of a gas is directly proportional to its partial pressure. This means that as the concentration of a gas increases, its partial pressure also increases, and vice versa.

Positive pressure ventilation is the use of life sustaining systems to help individuals that are showing respiratory distress. The signs that positive pressure ventilation has been successful are breathing over the ventilator and blood gas labs that are in normal ranges.

positive pressue ventilation is usually provided by a mechanical ventilator. A blend of oxygen and air coming out of the ventilator. The FiO2 is set on the ventilator. The person gets the FiO2 set on the ventilator.The manual positive pressure ventilation is by resuscitating with a self inflating bag usually provided with oxygen. FiO2 is fractional inspired oxygen and does not change with positive pressure ventilation or negative pressure ventilation. Manual bagging FiO2 may be changing according to supply of oxygen, inhalation (speed and volume) and frequency of bagging.
One complication associated with positive-pressure ventilations is barotrauma, which refers to lung damage caused by excessive pressure in the airways. This can lead to conditions such as pneumothorax or air embolism. It is important to monitor ventilation pressures and settings carefully to prevent barotrauma.
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP)-- A ventilation device that blows a gentle stream of air into the nose during sleep to keep the airway open.
Pressure immobilisation first aid should be applied and left in place until resuscitation facilities are available. This is a medical emergency. Assisted ventilation may be needed.
It increases intrathoracic pressure which decreases venous return to the heart and causes a decrease in cardiac output.
