T-piece resuscitators deliver consistent and controlled peak end expiratory pressure (PEEP), the residual pressure maintained at the end of expiration. Research suggests that adequate levels of PEEP may help to establish and maintain functional residual capacity (FRC) during transition at birth. This illustration shows the waveforms generated during positive pressure ventilation with a T-piece resuscitator (purple waveform) and a self-inflating bag without a PEEP valve (blue waveform).
