While survival rates for extremely premature or very low-birth-weight infants have increased, the incidence of chronic lung disease from ventilator-induced lung injury remains high. For this reason, there has been a shift to implement lung protective strategies in neonatology to minimize bronchopulmonary dysplasia. The goal of ventilation has been to limit volutrauma and oxygen toxicity to protect premature lung tissue. Developed in the 1970s, high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) is a form of lung protective ventilation used in neonates who fail conventional ventilation. Its use has been shown to decrease lung injury by the mechanisms above.This course focuses on 3 main points: effective use of HFOV, indications for its use, and clinical implications. It reviews the mechanism and implementation of HFOV in neonates, empowering healthcare professionals with the knowledge to provide optimal care for the most vulnerable patients. This activity also highlights the role of an interprofessional team in improving ventilatory management in neonates with lung disease.
