Nasal High-frequency Oscillatory Ventilation (NHFOV) for Ventilated Newborn Infants With BPD

Invasive ventilation(IV) remains one key cornerstone to reduce neonatal mortality for preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome(RDS) and/or acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS). However, it is also related to increased risks of ventilator-associated lung injury and escalation of pulmonary inflammation, and which finally result in bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Early weaning from IV in newborn infants with BPD is therefore a key procedure to reduce these risks above.
