| Popis: | In this study the use of high frequency oscillation (HFO) to treat neonates with respiratory failure is analysed. The theories behind gas exchange during HFO are reviewed and its specific application to neonatal care discussed. The mechanical performance of three HFO ventilators currently in use is compared with the views of medical staff operating them on a regular basis. The complex interactions between initial ventilator settings have led to difficulties in accurately comparing performance characteristics and ventilation strategies; each ventilator is seen to have its own strengths and weaknesses that contribute to the ventilator selection made. These interactions together with the specific HFO modes available on each ventilator should be taken into account when using a HFO for the first time or when switching from an alternative ventilation method. Medical staff who care for neonates suggest staff education and training into the variations of HFO will greatly improve its use in neonatal medicine. |
