High-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) is a type of invasive mechanical ventilation
that employs supra-physiologic respiratory rates and low tidal volumes (VT) that …

Mechanical ventilation is a lifesaving intervention in critically ill preterm and term neonates.
However, it has the potential to cause significant damage to the lungs resulting in long-term …

No consensus exists regarding the definition of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in
neonates and reliability of chest X-ray (CXR) is low. Lung ultrasound (LU) is a potential …

Objectives A major challenge for hospitals and clinicians is the early identification of
neonates at risk of developing adverse conditions. We develop a model based on routinely …

Nasal high flow (NHF) therapy is used to treat a variety of respiratory disorders to improve
patient oxygenation. A CO 2 washout mechanism is believed to be responsible for the …

Introduction We determined if the heart rate (HR) monitoring performance of a wireless and
nonadhesive belt is non‐inferior compared to standard electrocardiography (ECG) …

Aim This study evaluates the effectiveness of an educational intervention in the area of
nursing knowledge and practice relating to neonatal respiratory distress syndrome …

We investigate respiratory flow phenomena in a reconstructed upper airway model of an
intubated neonate undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation, spanning conventional to …

Background High frequency oscillatory ventilation is often used for lung support in
premature neonates suffering from respiratory distress syndrome. Despite its broad use in …

Background In mechanically ventilated neonates, the arterial partial pressure of CO 2 (PaCO
2) is an important indicator for the adequacy of ventilation settings. Determining the PaCO 2 …
