Given are number of infants receiving each intervention (n), the total time the intervention was administered (Total duration, given as median and range of all analyzed recordings) and the percentage of time spent for the intervention compared to total analyzed time (Relative duration, given as median and range of all recordings).

Abbreviations: min = minutes, s = seconds, CPAP = Continuous Positive Airway Pressure.

aData are displayed as median and range.

bPercentage of total time that newborn was analyzed.

cPercentage of total mask application.

dDuration from arrival at the reanimation table until transfer to NICU (only infants that were transferred to NICU).
