HFV is primarily used in neonates who suffer from severe respiratory disorders such as Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS), Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD), and meconium aspiration syndrome. Traditional ventilation methods can sometimes exacerbate lung injury due to the higher pressures and volumes used. HFV minimizes lung injury by reducing volutrauma and barotrauma, making it especially beneficial for premature infants with fragile lungs.
