Synchronized Invasive Mechanical Ventilation

Respiratory care of premature neonates has witnessed substantial advances in the last two  decades and has played a crucial role in decreasing early mortality in this population. This review outlines advances in techniques of synchronization and modes of synchronized invasive mechanical ventilation in neonates. The use of synchronized ventilation in the neonatal population was delayed a s compared to adults, mainly because of technical reasons. Coordinating the infant's respiratory effort and the onset of mechanical ventilation in the neonatal population has requested high sensitivity instruments.
