      <p><i>Background - </i>Expired carbon dioxide (ECO<sub>2</sub>) indicates degree of lung aeration immediately after birth. Favourable ventilation techniques may be associated with higher ECO<sub>2</sub> and a faster increase. Clinical condition will however also affect measured values. The aim of this study was to explore the relative impact of ventilation factors and clinical factors on ECO<sub>2</sub> ...
