Disease Specific Guidelines for the Application of High-Frequency Oscillatory Ventilation in Infants
Learn HFOV strategies to manage critically ill infants in the neonatal intensive care unit.
At the end of this 60-minute webinar, participants will be able to:
- Discuss the effect of frequency, tidal volume and mean airway pressure on the lungs.
- Discuss why lower frequencies are used with meconium aspiration patients.
- Discuss why mean airway pressures need to be reduced after the lungs are recruited with adequate mean airway pressure.
- Discuss the appropriate frequency for extremely low-birth-weight infants.
