NRP- T PIECE

T-piece resuscitators

♥ Depend on a compressed gas source

♥ Must have a tight face-mask seal to inflate the lungs

♥ Operator sets maximum circuit pressure, peak inspiratory pressure, and positive end expiratory pressure(PEEP)

♥ Peak inspiratory pressure must be adjusted during resuscitation to achieve physiologic improvement, audible breath sounds, and perceptible chest movements

 ♥ Positive pressure is provided by alternately occluding and releasing the hole in the PEEP cap

 ♥ Can be used to deliver free-flow oxygen
