Mechanical ventilation in the newborn; a simplified approach. Part 1: Intermittent positive pressure ventilation

Vincent Muhlethaler et al. J Paediatr Child Health. 2012 Aug.

Abstract

Positive pressure ventilation (PPV) is a frequent intervention in the neonatal intensive care unit. This article is directed towards paediatricians in training and attempts to cover the basics of PPV without being too technical. To do so we have employed an extensive use of graphics to illustrate the underlying principles.
