The pulmonary functions were measured during resuscitation of eight critically ill newborns by the "Pulmonary Evaluation and Diagnostic System" (PEDS UNIT-M.A.S. Inc.)

In spite of this, there were no signs of air leaks syndrome and the oxygenation was improved in every case. Worsening or improving the pulmonary mechanics it is possible to change the ventilator settings immediately.
