Replay - High Frequency Oscillatory Ventilation for the Treatment of Severe Respiratory Distress in Neonates

High Frequency Oscillatory Ventilation (HFOV) is considered to be a lung protective mode for ventilating neonates and infants (1). This mode of ventilation is often used for infants in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit with severe and complex respiratory failure, where they may have failed to respond to conventional modes of respiratory support (2).

 

During this webinar, Sherry Courtney M.D., MS, will discuss:

1. High Frequency Oscillatory Ventilation as a mode of ventilation for neonates, including settings and parameters

2. The current approaches for treating severe respiratory distress

3. Clinical research to support the use of HFOV for patients with severe respiratory distress
