Predictors of Negative Pressure Ventilation Response in Pediatric Acute Respiratory Failure.

CONCLUSIONS: Negative-pressure ventilation successfully supported 69% of pediatric subjects with all-cause acute respiratory failure. Oxygen requirement was lower in subjects who were responsive to negative-pressure ventilation within 1 h of initiation. Standardized negative-pressure ventilation protocols should include weaning of supplemental oxygen to determine responsiveness. PMID: 31575711 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
