Limited evidence supports many neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) ventilation techniques, especially newer modes. Rigorous trials are needed to prove efficacy and safety before routine clinical use.

Area of Science:

  • Neonatal Medicine
  • Respiratory Physiology
  • Critical Care

Context:

  • Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs) utilize diverse ventilatory strategies for premature infants.
  • Evidence supporting the efficacy and safety of many ventilation modes, particularly newer ones, is limited.
  • Existing randomized trials provide some data on specific techniques like high-frequency ventilation.

Purpose:

  • To review the current evidence for various ventilatory techniques used in neonatal care.
  • To highlight the need for rigorous, large-scale randomized trials to validate new and existing methods.
  • To guide neonatologists in adopting evidence-based ventilatory practices.

Summary:

  • Randomized trials show high-frequency positive pressure ventilation reduces airleaks, and patient-triggered ventilation shortens ventilation duration.

  • High-frequency oscillation may reduce airleaks or chronic lung disease but carries risks of intracerebral pathology.
  • Techniques like nasal CPAP, volume guarantee, and pressure support lack robust trial data, despite anecdotal support.

    • Impact:

    • Emphasizes the critical need for evidence-based practice in neonatal ventilation.
    • Discourages the premature adoption of unproven ventilatory strategies.
    • Promotes the development and execution of large, well-designed studies to ensure patient safety and optimal outcomes.
