[High-frequency oscillatory lung ventilation in neonatal infants with surgical diseases].

: The paper presents data on the varieties and modes of the present artificial ventilation and high-frequency artificial ventilation (AV). It describes the basic impact of various ventilation modes on gas exchange, hemodynamics, and mechanical lung properties. The data on the use of high-frequency AV in neonatal infants with various surgical diseases are given. Its place and indications in malformations, such as diaphragmatic hernia and esophageal atresia, are defined. High-frequency oscillatory AV may be recommended for use as an alternative method in the treatment of respiratory failure in neonates with difuse lung lesion and in those with congenital surgical diseases when it is impossible to ensure adequate gas exchange.
