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.
