Respiratory function monitors (RFMs) used for newborn resuscitation: accuracy and performance in the presence of leak. A bench comparison study
The new-generation RFMs demonstrated comparable accuracy and performance to legacy devices at zero leak. All RFMs displayed accurate leak levels including 90 %. RFMs used with SIBs showed significantly reduced performance and accuracy at 90 % leak in contrast to TPR at 90% leak. New-generation RFMs simplified user interfaces may enhance benefits during clinical use.
