A Retrospective Cohort Study of the Impact of Implementing Volume-Targeted Compared to Pressure-Limited Ventilation in a Single-Center, Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in Oman.

Background The use of volume-targeted ventilation (VTV) in neonatology has been introduced in the last decade. This study was performed to determine the impact of clinical implementation of volume-targeted conventional mechanical ventilation using the volume guarantee mode in mechanical ventilation of all neonates needing mechanical ventilation compared to pressure-limited ventilation (PLV) modes. The mortality rate, duration of mechanical ventilation, and bronchopulmonary dysplasia were the primary outcomes of the study.
