The aim of resuscitation is to support effective spontaneous breathing or assist ventilation of the lungs.
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is a mode of noninvasive respiratory support that provides a continuous distending pressure throughout the respiratory cycle to spontaneously breathing patients.
Invasive ventilation is a mode of respiratory support that replaces spontaneous breathing in infants and children with an artificial airway such as an endotracheal tube.
Nasal high flow (NHF) is a mode of noninvasive respiratory support that delivers high flows of blended air and oxygen through a nasal cannula.
Optiflow Flow Matters
Early use of NHF in infants and children
In our pediatric edition of Optiflow™ Flow Matters, we review the literature and provide an evidence-based approach to implementation of NHF in pediatric patients.
