Monitoring Respiratory Support with A High Frequency Data Logger During Neonatal Transport And Its Impact On Clinical Practice

Background Respiratory support during emergency and elective neonatal transfers have been the gold standard of emergency neonatal care. Volume targeted ventilation (VTV), also known as volume guarantee (VG) has been increasingly used on neonatal intensive care units worldwide. Systematic reviews comparing VG with pressure limited ventilation have shown significant short and long term benefits. Early initiation of this advanced ventilator mode during the stabilization period and throughout the neonatal transfer is arguable in most clinical situations. However there are limited studies and papers on VG mode …
