ReviewNon-invasive high flow oscillatory ventilation in comparison with nasal continuous positive pressure ventilation for respiratory distress syndrome, a literature review.
Noninvasive high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (NHFOV) keeps the lung open with add-on effective rhythmic oscillations in addition to allowing spontaneous breathing. This review aims at reconstructing the different pieces of available research articles and evidence into a more solid collective evidence for NHFOV in preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). ⋯ NHFOV improved the PCO2 elimination and decreased the risk of intubation without a significant change in mortality compared with NCPAP.

Randomized Controlled TrialRespiratory outcomes after neonatal prone versus supine positioning following scheduled cesarean delivery: a randomized trial.
Prone positioning is a common practice after vaginal birth promoting skin to skin contact and has been associated with improved oxygenation in mechanically ventilated neonates in the recent analysis. Neonates of women not in labor delivered via C-section are at increased risk of respiratory distress; it is unclear whether vigorous neonates without a need of resuscitation would benefit from prone positioning immediately after birth. ⋯ Prone or supine positioning of term neonates after scheduled cesarean delivery resulted in comparable respiratory outcomes including the need for resuscitation in the first minutes of life.
