Multicenter StudyVentilation practices in the neonatal intensive care unit: a cross-sectional study.
To assess current ventilation practices in newborn infants. ⋯ Time cycled pressure-limited ventilation is the most commonly used mode in neonatal ventilation. Tidal volumes are usually targeted between 4 to 7 mL/kg and positive end-expiratory pressure between 4 to 6 cmH(2)O. Newer ventilation modes are only used in a minority of patients.
