Multiple studies in animals suggest advantages of high-frequency oscillatory ventilation as compared with conventional ventilation for supporting immature or injured lungs. 1–12 However ...

High-frequency oscillatory ventilation was equivalent in efficacy to conventional ventilation in preterm infants but did not appear more beneficial for any particular subset in this population ...

Key takeaways: Conventional ventilation and laminar airflow systems effectively kept bone cement fumes below harmful levels. Conventional ventilation was most effective when used with an entirely ...

A study of ventilation strategies in high-income countries has shown that high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) for preterm babies gives outcomes that are no better or worse than ...

ECMO Is Better Than Conventional Ventilation For Treating Severe Respiratory Failure From Conditions Like Swine Flu (CESAR Trial) Written by Stephanie Brunner on September 16, 2009.

Aug. 29, 2002 — High-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) for premature infants should be reserved to a few select centers, while the others should continue conventional low tidal volume ...

In an early randomized trial comparing HFOV (with the use of a low-volume strategy) with conventional ventilation, a significantly higher proportion of infants in the HFOV group had grade 3 or 4 ...

Pressure delivery during conventional ventilation was not correlated to EAdi. Neural expiratory time was longer (p = 0.044), and respiratory rate was lower (p = 0.004) during NAVA.

High-frequency oscillatory ventilation seems as effective as conventional ventilation in preterm infants; study findings do not support selecting this method based on gestational age or other factors.

A simple, low-cost ventilator based on the resuscitation bags carried in ambulances—and widely available in hospitals—has been designed by an international team of university researchers. The ...
