Ventilator Treatment for Extremely Sick & Premature Babies (HMD or RDS Meconium Aspiration,Severe Asphyxia, Congenital Pneumonia etc.)

• Extremely preterm infants or those born with severe respiratory conditions, such as hyaline membrane disease (HMD), respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), meconium aspiration, severe asphyxia, or congenital pneumonia, often require mechanical ventilation to support their breathing and improve gas exchange.
• Ventilator therapy provides positive pressure to the lungs, assisting with inflation and preventing alveolar collapse. This can be delivered through various modes, including intermittent mandatory ventilation (IMV), synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation (SIMV), or high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV). The ventilator settings are carefully adjusted to maintain appropriate oxygen levels and carbon dioxide removal while minimizing potential lung injury. Close monitoring of the infant's vital signs, blood gases, and radiographic findings guide adjustments to the ventilator parameters.
• The goal is to provide sufficient respiratory support to allow the infant's lungs to mature and recover, ultimately transitioning the infant to less invasive respiratory support or independent breathing.
