Why is Synchronized Ventilation Important for Neonates?
Neonates, especially preterm infants, often suffer from conditions like Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) and Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD). These conditions can severely compromise their ability to breathe effectively. Synchronized ventilation offers a more physiological approach by matching the mechanical support with the infant's own respiratory efforts. This can lead to better gas exchange, reduced risk of ventilator-associated lung injury, and improved overall outcomes.
