High-Frequency Ventilation of Infants

  • Chapter
Current Perinatology

Abstract

Mechanical ventilation has proven to be a tremendous tool for the critical care of newborn infants. Many more infants survive their prematurity, meconium aspiration, and other forms of respiratory distress, thanks in large part to mechanical ventilators. Conventional ventilators, however, do have their limitations.
