What is caring infants on ventilation?
In other words, CaringInfants on Ventilation should endeavor us for:The ultimate method for safe and effectiveartificial ventilation of the newborn lung,especially when it is diseased or anatomicallyextremely immature, has yet to be devised. 26 References [1].
How much fluid should be given to a newborn with compromised ventilation?
Hence the newborn with compromised ventilation should receive about 66 to 75 % of calculated maintenance fluid requirements unless presented with significant dehydration or hypovolemia. Generous fluid administration may contribute to the development of pulmonary edema and worsening of respiratory failure.
How do you control ventilation and oxygenation on a mechanical ventilator?
Ventilation (CO2 clearance) is determined by the Minute Volume (MV= Tidal Volume (VT) x Rate (R)). The mechanical ventilators used on NNU allow us to control both oxygenation and ventilation by adjusting the parameters outlined below. Look at the simplified Pressure / Time curve, a version of this can be seen on the ventilator screens on the unit
