| Apgar (median, IQR) | |||
| 1 min | 6 (3–7) | 5 (4–7) | 0.82 |
| 5 min | 8 (7–8) | 7 (6–9) | 0.81 |
| Antenatal steroids (complete) | 7 (58.3%) | 8 (61.5%) | 0.99 |

| Median (IQR) VTe (mL) (all breaths) | 6.4 (5.2–7.4) | 4.7 (3.9–7.4) | 0.13 |
| Median (IQR) VTe (mL) with leak | 3.9 (2.9–4.7) | 3.1 (2.3–3.6) | 0.05 |
| Median (IQR) VTe (mL) with obstruction | 1.8 (1.6–1.8) | 1.8 (1.5–1.9) | 0.57 |
Mann-Whitney non-parametric test was used to compare the significance among the medians
DS, delivery suite; LSCS, Lower Segment Caesarean Section; VTe, tidal volume expired.
