High-frequency ventilation (HFV) uses rapid breaths (>60/min) and small volumes for respiratory support. This review covers HFV mechanisms, devices, and clinical use in infants, including outcomes and complications.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatrics
  • Respiratory Medicine
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • High-frequency ventilation (HFV) encompasses techniques using rates >60 breaths/minute and tidal volumes ≤ anatomical dead space.
  • Includes methods like high-frequency positive-pressure ventilation, high-frequency jet ventilation, high-frequency flow interruption, high-frequency oscillatory ventilation, and high-frequency chest wall oscillation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review proposed gas transport mechanisms during HFV.
  • To describe various ventilators capable of delivering HFV.
  • To analyze clinical studies, long-term follow-up, and complications in infants treated with HFV.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of proposed gas transport mechanisms.
  • Description of different HFV ventilator technologies.

  • Synthesis of clinical trial data and patient follow-up studies.

    • Main Results:

    • Discussion of various gas transport theories (e.g., augmented diffusion, pendelluft, cardiogenic mixing).
    • Overview of available HFV devices and their operational principles.
    • Summary of clinical efficacy, safety profiles, and long-term outcomes in pediatric populations.

    Conclusions:

    • HFV represents a specialized ventilatory approach with distinct gas exchange mechanisms.
    • Understanding HFV technology and its clinical application is crucial for optimizing respiratory support in infants.
    • Ongoing research and careful monitoring are essential to refine HFV use and minimize complications.
