The stepwise approach described here has led to a nearly 50% reduction in mortality among critically ill children at Kenyatta National Hospital.

Observational StudyVolume Guaranteed Ventilation During Neonatal Transport.
To compare tidal volumes, inflating pressures and other ventilator variables of infants receiving synchronized intermitted mandatory ventilation with volume guarantee during emergency neonatal transport with those of infants receiving synchronized intermitted mandatory ventilation without volume guarantee. ⋯ During neonatal transport, synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation with volume guarantee ventilation reduced the occurrence of excessive tidal volumes, but it was associated with larger contribution of spontaneous breaths to minute ventilation compared with synchronized intermitted mandatory ventilation without volume guarantee.
