Verified step by step guidance

Understand the physiological importance of exhalation: During neonatal resuscitation, allowing time for exhalation is crucial to prevent air trapping, which can lead to increased intrathoracic pressure and compromise effective ventilation.

Recognize the mechanics of breathing: In normal respiration, inhalation is followed by exhalation to ensure proper gas exchange and prevent overinflation of the lungs.

Apply the principle to neonatal resuscitation: After delivering the first breath, pause briefly to allow the neonate's lungs to exhale the air before administering the second breath.

Avoid common mistakes: Do not immediately give the second breath without pause, as this can lead to air trapping. Similarly, increasing the pressure of the second breath or switching to chest compressions prematurely can be counterproductive in this context.

Ensure proper timing and technique: Monitor the neonate's chest rise and fall to confirm effective ventilation and adjust the timing of breaths accordingly to optimize respiratory support.
