Summary

This study looked at two ways of holding a breathing mask on a baby's face to help them breathe. Doctors sometimes use one hand or two hands, but it was not clear which method causes less air leakage. The researchers measured air leaks in 110 babies in the neonatal unit to find out which hold is better.
