Nasal High Frequency in Preterm Neonates

One of the most commonly used non-invasive methods is nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP). Although high frequency ventilation (HFV) has been applied in many neonatal intensive care units, nasal high frequency oscillatory ventilation (nHFOV) is a relatively new non-invasive modality. The application of nasal high-frequency ventilation with the strategy of lung recruitment will combine benefits of improving gas exchange and decreasing lung injury together with avoiding complication of invasive ventilation.
