Maximum FIO2 in minimum time depending on the kind of resuscitation bag and oxygen flow.
To analyze what FIO2 can be reached, and how long it takes using the different autoinflated resuscitation bags and increasing oxygen flows. ⋯ It is mandatory to use model C resuscitation autoinflated bag with 12 l/min of oxygen flow during the resuscitation maneuvers. Using another autoinflated bag model, maximum oxygen flows (i.e., 20 l/min) are needed. The resuscitation autoinflated bags showed less effectiveness when they were not properly assembled.

Comparative StudyInhibition of inflammatory responses by ambroxol, a mucolytic agent, in a murine model of acute lung injury induced by lipopolysaccharide.
The aim of this study is to investigate whether ambroxol inhibits inflammatory responses in a murine model of lipopolysaccharide-induced acute lung injury (ALI). ⋯ Ambroxol inhibited proinflammatory cytokines, reduced lung inflammation and accelerated recovery from LPS-induced ALI.
