Abstract

Besides improving the aeration of the lungs, artificial ventilation also increases the oxygenation of the blood by its effect on diffusion. This therapy is indicated for essentially all infants with correctable respiratory failure and should be initiated before systemic damage occurs as a result of hypoxia or acidosis. In recent years the tendency observed toward earlier intervention in respiratory distress syndrome (11, 24, 27) increasingly has reached a level of acceptance with mechanical ventilation instituted at a FiO2 of 0.6 for respiratory failure (20).
