Abstract
Out treatment options for acute neonatal failure have expanded greatly in the last 20 to 30 years. This article reviews patient-triggered ve ntilation, high frequency ventilation, negative extrathoracic pressure ventilation, nitric oxide therapy, liquid ventilation, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, and advances in pulmonary function monitoring. The authors present background theories, describe equipment, review cl inical strategies, and the results of recent trials.
