Volume-targeted versus pressure-limited ventilation in neonates.

CONCLUSIONS: Infants ventilated using VTV modes had reduced rates of death or BPD, pneumothoraces, hypocarbia, severe cranial ultrasound pathologies and duration of ventilation compared with infants ventilated using PLV modes. Further studies are needed to identify whether VTV modes improve neurodevelopmental outcomes and to compare and refine VTV strategies. PMID: 29039883 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
