The Benefits and Risks of High-Frequency Oscillatory Ventilation (HFOV) in Neonates

What is High-Frequency Oscillatory Ventilation (HFOV) and How Does it Work?

High-Frequency Oscillatory Ventilation (HFOV) is a form of respiratory support for neonates and newborns. It is used in cases where conventional mechanical ventilation does not provide adequate respiratory support. HFOV works by delivering small amounts of air at high frequencies to the lungs, which helps to improve oxygenation and reduce the risk of complications associated with mechanical ventilation. HFOV can be used in both preterm and term infants, as well as pediatric patients who require respiratory support. It has been shown to be effective in improving oxygenation, reducing the need for intubation, and decreasing the duration of hospitalization.
