The current article is an update in the field of Neonatology, adopted from the findings published in the Journal of Clinical Neonatology. Ventilator induced lung injury is reduced by using noninvasive ventilation in neonatal care units. Current article reviews the use of various modes of Noninvasive ventilators in case of preterm infants.
Most Common Modes of Non-Invasive Ventilation(NIV) Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP), Bilevel (or biphasic) nCPAP, Nasal intermittent positive airway pressure (NIPPV), Heated humidified high flow nasal cannula (HHHFNC) Pathophysiology Respiratory muscles in infants are vulnerable to exertion effort than those of the adults. The neurochemical control of breathing in infants is unknown. Conditions of Oxygen Deficiency V/Q mismatch Reduced cardiac output due to ventricular dysfunction Reduced cardiac output due to anemia Altered…
