    Liquid ventilation using oxygenated perfluorochemical (PFC) fluids offers an alternative for infants unresponsive to conventional treatments. This method improves gas exchange and lung mechanics, potentially reducing morbidity in neonates with respiratory issues.

    Area of Science:

    • Neonatology
    • Respiratory Physiology
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Neonatal respiratory support faces limitations, leading to morbidity in some infants.
    • Elevated inflation pressures in conventional ventilation can cause chronic lung disease.
    • Perfluorochemical (PFC) fluids offer unique properties for respiratory applications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the efficacy of perfluorochemical (PFC) fluid ventilation in neonates.
    • To highlight the physiological benefits and potential applications of liquid ventilation.
    • To inform the development of nursing care plans for liquid-ventilated infants.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of studies on premature animal models and clinical trials over 30 years.
    • Analysis of perfluorochemical (PFC) fluid properties: biological inertness, high gas solubility, low surface tension.

  • Examination of physiological principles of liquid ventilation, including reduced alveolar pressure.

    • Main Results:

    • Perfluorochemical (PFC) fluid ventilation demonstrates effective gas exchange.
    • Improved lung mechanics and reduced alveolar pressures are observed with liquid ventilation.
    • Studies show potential benefits in various neonatal respiratory conditions.

    Conclusions:

    • Liquid ventilation with oxygenated perfluorochemical (PFC) fluids is a promising alternative for neonatal respiratory support.
    • Its application can mitigate risks associated with conventional high-pressure ventilation.
    • Understanding the physiology and mechanics of liquid ventilation is crucial for effective nursing care.
