Neonates, especially preterm infants, often suffer from respiratory complications such as Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) and Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD). These conditions necessitate precise control over their breathing parameters. An optimal inspiratory time ensures that the lungs are adequately inflated, allowing for proper oxygenation and carbon dioxide removal. Short inspiratory times may lead to insufficient lung inflation, while excessively long times can cause lung injury.
