Cerebral and Circulatory Effects of Neonatal Volume Targeted Ventilation

May 19, 2020 updated by: Poznan University of Medical Sciences

Cerebral Oxygenation and Circulatory Parameters During Pressure Controlled vs. Volume Targeted Mechanical Ventilation in the Extremely Preterm Infants With Respiratory Distress Syndrome

The aim of the study was to assess the effect of volume targeted vs. pressure-controlled mechanical ventilation (MV) on circulatory parameters and cerebral oxygenation in the extremely preterm infants.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Prospective, cross-over trial enrolling neonates <28 weeks' gestation requiring MV. Patients were ventilated for 3 hours with pressure controlled assist-control (PC-AC) mode, followed by 3-hours of volume guarantee assist-control ventilation (VG-AC). Continuous monitoring was carried out using pulse oximetry (oxygen saturation - SpO2 and heart rate - HR), near-infrared spectroscopy (cerebral oxygenation - StO2) and electrical cardiometry (circulatory parameters).
