| Guide for use: | CODE 7 Intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV) May include flow-driven pressure-limited device, such as Neopuff© (an infant T-piece resuscitator). CODE 8 Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) ventilation May include flow-driven pressure-limited device, such as Neopuff© (an infant T-piece resuscitator). | ||||||||||||||||
| Comments: | Code 1 (None), Code 4 (Intermittent positive pressure respiration (IPPR) through bag and mask), Code 5 (Endotracheal intubation and IPPR), Code 6 (External cardiac massage and ventilation) and Code 9 (Not stated) have been omitted as these codes are no longer in use.

Collection and usage attributes | |||||||||||||||||
| Guide for use: | This data element does not include any drug therapy. All methods of active resuscitation used should be recorded. Therefore more than one permissible value may be recorded for this data element. Each method should be recorded once only. The permissible value selected should reflect the method of resuscitation rather than the device used to deliver resuscitation. For example, if intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV) is delivered via a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device, without CPAP ventilation also being delivered, then IPPV only should be recorded. | ||||||||||||||||
| Comments: | Required to analyse need for resuscitation after complications of labour and delivery, and to evaluate level of services needed for different birth settings. IPPV is also known as intermittent positive pressure respiration (IPPR). Intubation or laryngeal mask ventilation may be added at any stage of the resuscitation. The timing will often depend on the familiarity and skill of the clinician with the procedure. For a skilled and experienced clinician, intubation will normally occur earlier in the resuscitation. The use of a size 1 laryngeal mask airway for the administration of IPPV is suitable for neonates of more than 34 weeks gestation or 2,000 grams (up to 5,000 grams) (ANZCOR 2016). | ||||||||||||||||
