Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study Clinical TrialRandomized comparison of high-frequency ventilation with high-rate intermittent positive pressure ventilation in preterm infants with respiratory failure.
In a randomized, controlled, multicenter trial, we tested the hypothesis that high-frequency ventilation (HFV) with a high lung volume strategy results in fewer treatment failures than intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV) with high rates and low peak inspiratory pressures. ⋯ HFV with a high lung volume strategy did not cause less lung injury in preterm infants than IPPV with a high rate and low peak inspiratory pressures.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical TrialComparison of albuterol delivered by a metered dose inhaler with spacer versus a nebulizer in children with mild acute asthma.
In children with mild acute asthma, to compare treatment with a single dose of albuterol delivered by a metered dose inhaler (MDI) with a spacer in either a weight-adjusted high dose or a standard low-dose regimen with delivery by a nebulizer. ⋯ In children with mild acute asthma, treatment with 2 puffs of albuterol by an MDI with spacer is just as clinically beneficial as treatment with higher doses delivered by an MDI or by a nebulizer.
