Neonatal and Pediatric Mechanical Ventilation Jerickson A. Bayani, RTRP Objectives To define mechanical ventilation To recognize the indications of mechanical ventilation in neonatal and pediatric patients To identify different types of pressure ventilation in neonatal and pediatric patients To identify the indications and complications of a mechanical ventilation in neonatal and pediatric To identify and manage the ventilator parameters What is mechanical ventilation? Is defined as the method of mechanically assisting or replacing spontaneous breathing with the aid of a mechanical ventilator or a breathing apparatus. Mechanical Ventilation of the Newborn Assisted ventilation involves the basic concept of pulmonary mechanics, gas exchange, respiration control, lung injury and understanding the disease process that can be used to enhance mechanical ventilation Indications for mechanical ventilation of the newborn Hypoxemic a. PaO2 60% b. PaCO2 7.5 c. Clinical signs: cyanosis, tachycardia or bradycardia, nasal flaring, grunting and retractions Hypercapneic PaCO2 >50 mmhg, Acidotic pH
