The aim of any ventilation strategy is to support the neonate‘s respiratory system without inducing damage to the lung or the brain. Volume Guarantee ventilation supports stabilisation of the infant and gentle respiratory treatment with a more stable minute ventilation. Learn more in our Ventilation Insights on how Volume Guarantee ventilation helps to improve patient outcome.

In this case study, you will read about the initiation and ongoing clinical management of infants supported by volume guarantee.

High-Frequency Oscillatory Ventilation (HFOV) is a comprehensive ventilator strategy applied as priori and rescue ventilator modality in order to improve pulmonary gas exchange. It offers opportunities for lung protective ventilation whilst minimising rheotrauma. Learn more in our Ventilation Insights on how HFOV helps to improve patient outcome.

The start of ventilation therapy is always the start of a weaning process. To prevent chronic lung diseases such as BPD, it is essential to directly help the infant to regain their own respiratory drive. Mandatory Minute Ventilation 'closes the loop' in the weaning process. Learn more in our Ventilation Insights on how Mandatory Minute Ventilation helps to improve patient outcome.
