The T-piece Resuscitation System provides the basic equipment required for pulmonary resuscitation of infants. Pulmonary resuscitation includes practices necessary to establish a clear airway and provide oxygen or air/oxygen mixtures and/or manual ventilation to the infant. These are clinical practices that represent the established standard of care.*
Resuscitation may be required whenever an infant fails to establish effective, adequate breathing patterns necessary to meet tissue oxygen demands and/or to rid the body of carbon dioxide.
For professional use only, by trained clinicians.
* As stated in collaborative guidelines written by the American Heart Association (ARA) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) in the Textbook of Neonatal Resuscitation, 5a Edition.
