Non-Invasive Ventilation in Infants : Case Overview

Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is a critical therapeutic approach in neonatal care for infants with respiratory distress. Respiratory Support: NIV provides respiratory support to infants with conditions such as respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), or congenital...

• The presentation discusses non-invasive respiratory support for newborns, emphasizing the importance of avoiding intubation and its associated complications like bio trauma, volume trauma, and BPD. Indications for intubation include prematurity under 25 weeks, severe RDS causing apnea, cardiovascular collapse, and congenital malformations hindering non-invasive ventilation. Non-invasive methods are favored to minimize lung injury and chronic lung disease.
