High frequency oscillation and airway pressure release ventilation in pediatric respiratory failure

High-frequency ventilation in acute pediatric respiratory failure.

High-frequency ventilation for acute pediatric respiratory failure.

OBJECTIVE To study the effectiveness of high-frequency ventilation (HFV) for the treatment of pediatric patients with acute severe respiratory failure. DESIGN Post hoc analysis of retrospectively and prospectively acquired data. SETTING Tertiary pediatric ICU. SUBJECTS Twelve patients, ages 4 months to 15 years, who developed acute severe respiratory failure from diverse causes. INTERVE...

New modalities of mechanical ventilation: high-frequency oscillatory ventilation and airway pressure release ventilation.

Management of acute lung injury (ALI) and the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is largely supportive, with the use of mechanical ventilation being a central feature. Recent advances in the understanding of ALI/ARDS and mechanical ventilation have revealed that lung-protective ventilation strategies may attenuate ventilator-associated lung injury and improve patient morbidity/mortality...

high frequency oscillatory ventilation in severe respiratory failure

despite improvement of mechanical ventilation devices for infants, lung injury still causes morbidity and mortality in many cases. to determine the effect of high frequency oscillatory ventilation (hfov) in infants with severe respiratory failure, 10 neonates were evaluated prospectively. mean gestational age of these patients was 35 weeks and alveolar-arterial oxygen gradient (a-ado2) and the ...

High-frequency oscillation ventilation for hypercapnic failure of conventional ventilation in pulmonary acute respiratory distress syndrome

INTRODUCTION High-frequency oscillation ventilation (HFOV) is regarded as particularly lung protective. Recently, HFOV has been shown to be not beneficial for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients in general. Due to its special physical effects, it could be beneficial, however, in inhomogeneous ARDS. This study evaluates the effect of HFOV on PaCO2 removal in hypercapnic patients ...
