AB The  management  of  infants  with  respiratory  distress  has  long  been  a  basic  function  of  neonatal  intensive  care.  Today,  death  from  acute  respiratory  failure  is  uncommon,  even  among  the  extremely  premature,  but  significant  morbidity  from  mechanical  ventilation  persists.  Current  trends  in  neonatal  ventilation  focus  on  reducing  ventilator-induced  lung  injury,  and  noninvasive  support  is  preferred.  When  mechanical  ventilation  is  needed,  new  ventilators  cede  as  much  control  as  possible  to  the  patient.  Optimal  treatment  continues  to  be  difficult  to  define,  and  considerable  variability  exists  in  assessing  the  risk–benefit  ratio  of  various  management  strategies.  This  chapter  provides  an  overview  of  current  techniques  used  for  neonatal  respiratory  support.
