High-Frequency Ventilation
Every parent's worst nightmare is seeing their child struggling to breathe. When your little one is in need of advanced respiratory support, we understand the profound emotional impact it can have on you and your family. At Nimai's Borneo Mother and Child Hospitals, we are here to provide compassionate care and cutting-edge treatment options like High-Frequency Ventilation (HFV). Our dedicated team of specialists is committed to giving your child the best chance at a healthy and thriving future.
What is High-Frequency Ventilation (HFV)? High-Frequency Ventilation (HFV) is an advanced respiratory therapy technique that delivers breaths at a very high rate, typically exceeding the rate of traditional mechanical ventilation. It is used to provide respiratory support for infants and children with severe respiratory distress or those who have difficulty oxygenating their blood adequately. HFV offers several benefits, including:
1. Improved Oxygenation:
- HFV can enhance oxygenation by delivering smaller, more controlled breaths at a rapid rate, allowing for better gas exchange in the lungs.
- It helps maintain optimal oxygen levels and minimizes the risk of complications associated with low oxygen saturation.
2. Gentle Lung Mechanics:
- HFV employs a gentle and oscillatory pressure waveform that minimizes lung damage and reduces the risk of barotrauma or volutrauma.
- It helps prevent lung injury and promotes a safer and more effective method of ventilatory support.
3. Increased Lung Recruitment:
- HFV aids in recruiting collapsed or atelectatic lung regions, improving lung compliance and overall respiratory function.
- By opening up previously collapsed lung areas, it allows for better ventilation and oxygenation.
