Abstract
The advent of microprocessor-based technology has revolutionalized the treatment of respiratory failure in the newborn. Clinicians are now able to customize ventilatory strategies to the specific pathophysiology of the patient. Sophisticated monitoring provides breath-to-breath feedback on patient-ventilator interactions. This paper will focus upon the basic principles of mechanical ventilation, and will review various strategies that may be employed to manage the wide range of respiratory disorders encountered by preterm and term newborn infants, including respiratory distress syndrome, meconium aspiration syndrome, persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn, and bronchopulmonary dysplasia.
Keywords: Newborn, prematurity, respiratory failure, mechanical ventilation, respiratory distress syndrome, PPHN, intermittent mandatory ventilation, high-frequency ventilation, hypoxemia, hypercapnia

Exposure to PM2.5 components is associated with respiratory diseases
Through continuous research on the relationship between risk factors and health, it has been found that air pollution, especially atmospheric particulate matter pollution, has become one of the main sources of global disease burden. From 1990 to 2022, the concentration of atmospheric particulate matter pollution has increased by more than ...read more
