Mechanical ventilation (MV), although life-saving, is associated with chronic respiratory
morbidity in both preterm and term born infants. New ventilation modes have been …

In the age of surfactant and antenatal steroids, neonatal care has improved outcomes of
preterm infants dramatically. Since the early 2000's neonatologists have strived to decrease …

Some studies of infants with acute respiratory distress have demonstrated that neurally
adjusted ventilator assist (NAVA) had better short-term results compared to non-triggered or …

Introduction: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a common long-term adverse
complication of very premature delivery. Affected infants can suffer chronic respiratory …

Advances in obstetric and neonatal intensive care have led to the survival of smaller and
more immature infants born at earlier stages of lung development. Although the survival of …

Both proportional assist ventilation (PAV) and neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA)
provide pressure support synchronised throughout the respiratory cycle proportional to the …

Different types of patient triggered ventilator modes have become the mainstay of ventilation
in term and preterm newborn infants. Maintaining spontaneous breathing has allowed for …

Objective To assess the eligibility criteria and trial characteristics among contemporary
(2010-2019) randomized clinical trials (RCTs) that included infants born extremely preterm …

Patient-triggered modes of ventilation are currently the standard of practice in the care of
term and preterm infants. Maintaining spontaneous breathing during mechanical ventilation …

Non-invasive techniques, include nasal continuous positive airways pressure (nCPAP),
