title = "Pressure Support Ventilation",
abstract = "Patient triggered ventilation was reintroduced into the neonatal intensive care unit as, by more successfully synchronising the patient's efforts with mechanical inflations, it was hoped the complications of mechanical ventilation would be reduced. Meta-analysis of randomised trials of assist control ventilation (ACV) or synchronous intermittent mandatory ventilation (SIMV) versus conventional ventilation failed to demonstrate any significant differences in BPD or other important outcomes. Subsequently pressure support ventilation (PSV) has been used, which has the advantage that both the initiation and termination of mechanical inflation are determined by the infant's inspiratory efforts. PSV with SIMV appears more efficacious than SIMV alone, but mixed results have been yielded with regard to PSV with volume targeting.",
