High-frequency oscillatory ventilation may reduce the incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia in neonatal respiratory distress syndrome

1. High-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) may reduce the incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) compared with conventional mechanical ventilation (CMV) in infants born at 34 weeks’ gestation or earlier with neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NARDS). Evidence Rating Level: 1 (Excellent) NARDS is a serious condition in premature infants and remains a leading cause of neonatal…
