Safety and Efficacy of Intrapulmonary Percussive Ventilation in Preterm Infants (IPV)

January 30, 2024 updated by: Michel Garcia Crespo, Augusta University
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the benefits and safety of Intrapulmonary Percussive Ventilation in preterm infants. IPV has been demonstrated to be safe, and improve airway secretions clearance and decreased atelectasis in pediatric patients. We aim to evaluate the effects of IPV in preterm infants.
