Abstract:
Neonatal respiratory failure is a serious clinical illness commonly seen in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Although clinicians want to maximize noninvasive respiratory support, some low-birth-weight preterm infants may require invasive respiratory support from the beginning. As an important respiratory management technique for the treatment of respiratory failure, high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) allows gas exchange by rapid delivery at a tidal volume lower than or equal to anatomy death volume. Continuous distending pressure was applied to achieve uniform lung expansion, reduce repeated contraction of lung tissue, and exert a protective effect on lung tissue, and so it is preferred by clinicians and has been widely used in clinical practice. However, no consensus has been reached on the methods for weaning from HFOV. This article reviews the methods for weaning from HFOV, so as to provide help for clinical practice.
