Non-invasive Positive Pressure Ventilation in children
Journal Title: Journal Of Pediatric Critical Care - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Respiratory problems are common in pediatric population and need advanced respiratory support in intensive care for various reasons. Mechanical ventilation is most important mode of therapy/support of modern era in intensive care units. This can be provided invasively or non-invasively, in the hospital and outside the hospital settings. Non-invasive ventilation has many advantages over invasive with some limitations. Pressure applied throughout respiratory cycle is known as continuous distending pressure and has many ways of application. Recently average volume assured pressure support and heated humidified high flow nasal canula have been introduced as method of non-invasive positive pressure ventilation. Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation is better suited in hypercapnic respiratory failure.
