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