Article Synopsis
- This study investigated the impact of scheduled lung recruitment maneuvers (LRMs) versus only when needed on extremely preterm infants undergoing high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV).*
-
- In a randomized controlled trial with 30 infants (15 in each group), results showed no significant difference in the cumulative oxygen saturation index (OSI) or frequency of LRMs between both groups over a week.*
-
- The findings suggest that performing LRMs regularly doesn't enhance lung volume compared to clinically indicated maneuvers, with most benefit seen when oxygen levels (FiO2) are high.*
