high frequency jet ventilation (hfjv)

What are the Advantages of HFJV in Pediatrics?

- Reduced Lung Injury: HFJV minimizes lung overdistension and repetitive alveolar collapse, thus reducing the risks of barotrauma and volutrauma.
- Improved Gas Exchange: By maintaining a constant mean airway pressure, HFJV enhances oxygenation and carbon dioxide elimination.
- Better Secretion Clearance: The rapid, small bursts of air can help in mobilizing secretions from the smaller airways.
- Enhanced Stability: HFJV provides more stable and consistent ventilation, which is crucial for critically ill neonates.
