Ventilator settings for newborn infants.

چکیده
The selection of appropriate mechanical ventilator settings for newborn infants is a controversial topic. The purpose of this review is to summarise the origins of the controversy and then to concentrate on the interaction between ventilator variables and the pathophysiology of the lung. As lung mechanics differ widely in different diseases we argue that careful consideration must be given to the mechanical properties of the lung when deciding on a suitable ventilator regimen for a particular infant.

Volume-targeted ventilation and arterial carbon dioxide in neonates.
OBJECTIVES To review the arterial carbon dioxide tensions (PaCO(2)) in newborn infants ventilated using synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation (SIMV) in volume guarantee mode (using the Dräger Babylog 8000+) with a unit policy targeting tidal volumes of approximately 4 mL/kg. METHODS Data on ventilator settings and arterial PaCO(2) levels were collected on all arterial blood gases (A...
متن کاملRespiratory support using patient triggered ventilation in the neonatal period.
There are now a number of purpose built patient triggered ventilators for use in the newborn. These ventilators are triggered either by air flow or airway pressure changes, their triggering devices all have very high sensitivity and short systems delay. They all have the advantage that they perform well without inadvertent positive end expiratory pressure at the fast ventilator rates frequently...

Synchronized nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (SNIPPV) is noninvasive respiratory support that delivers ventilator breaths via the nasal prongs.We hypothesized that SNIPPV is more effective than nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) in premature neonates due to decreased work of breathing (WOB). Fifteen infants (BW: 1,367 325 g, GA: 29.5 2.4 weeks) were studied on (a...
متن کاملComparison of Clinical Efficacy of Newfactan® versus Surfacten® for the Treatment of Respiratory Distress Syndrome in the Newborn Infants
Newfactan is a domestically developed, bovine lung-derived, semi-synthetic surfactant. The aim of this study was to compare the clinical efficacy of Newfactan with that of Surfacten in the treatment of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). Newfactan or Surfacten was randomly allocated to 492 newborn infants who were diagnosed as RDS and required surfactant instillation in four participating hosp...
متن کاملProtocolized versus non-protocolized weaning for reducing the duration of invasive mechanical ventilation in newborn infants.
BACKGROUND Mechanical ventilation is a life-saving intervention for critically ill newborn infants with respiratory failure admitted to a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Ventilating newborn infants can be challenging due to small tidal volumes, high breathing frequencies, and the use of uncuffed endotracheal tubes. Mechanical ventilation has several short-term, as well as long-term complic...
