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 mitochondrial O 2 consumption due to sepsis Low- Flow Oxygen Therapy Adequate oxygenation is achieved by increasing the fraction of inspired oxygen.…
