  • Title: High-frequency jet and oscillatory ventilation for neonates: which strategy and when?
    Author: Courtney SE, Asselin JM.
    Journal: Respir Care Clin N Am; 2006 Sep; 12(3):453-67. PubMed ID: 16952804.
    Abstract:
    Both HFOV and HFJV are important adjuncts to the ventilatory care of sick infants and children. Today, it is important that neonatologists, pediatric intensivists, and respiratory care practitioners understand these ventilators and the options they provide. It is no longer necessary to continue the use of damaging pressures and volumes with CV simply because no other option is available. The clinician who understands not only the pathology and physiology of the underlying lung condition but also understands the available choices in ventilators, how each ventilator functions, and what potential advantage it may offer his patients is able to provide the best possible care to these critically ill patients.
