[High-frequency ventilation].

Abstract

The authors describe the methodology of high frequency ventilation in the newborn infant. Ventilation by oscillator (HFO) actually represents the best method for ventilation in newborn infants; the rate of ventilation is between 15 and 25 Hz/min. They report their experience of HFO use for the treatment of hyaline membrane disease in newborns.

Pulmonary hypoplasia and persistent pulmonary hypertension: favorable clinical response to high-frequency jet ventilation.

Pulmonary hypoplasia in the neonate is frequently fatal. This article reports two neonates with a clinical diagnosis of pulmonary hypoplasia complicated by persistent pulmonary hypertension (PPHN). Though both infants were progressively worsening while receiving conventional mechanical ventilatory support, they survived when treated with high-frequency jet ventilation.
