Objective: To investigate the effects of high frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) and its combination with administration of pulmonary surfactant (PS) on inflammatory response of lung tissue in rabbits with inhalation injury.
Methods: Severe steam inhalation injury models were reproduced in 24 New Zealand albino rabbits. They were divided into control group (n = 8), HFOV group (n = 8), and HFOV + PS group (n = 8) according to the random number table, and they received ventilation in metered volume, HFOV, and HFOV + PS treatment respectively. Lung tissue samples of rabbits were collected at 3.5 h after treatment for pathological inspection and pulmonary injury score, assay of the activity of myeloperoxidase (MPO) and cysteinyl aspartate-specific protease 1 (caspase-1), and the determination of the contents of TNF-alpha, IL-18, IL-10, IL-13 and their mRNA expression.
Results: Pathological change in different degree of rabbit lung tissue in each group were observed, and they were most obvious in the control group, and least in the HFOV + PS group. The lung tissue injury scores of control group, HFOV group, and HFOV + PS group was 3.71 +/- 0.43, 2.87 +/- 0.26, and 2.08 +/- 0.28 respectively. The difference between either two of them were statistically significant (P < 0.01). The MPO content and caspase-1 activity of rabbits in HFOV and HFOV + PS groups were obviously lower than those in control group (P < 0.01), and MPO content and caspase-1 activity of rabbits in HFOV + PS group were obviously lower than those in HFOV group (P < 0.05). In HFOV group and HFOV + PS group, the contents of TNF-alpha, IL-18 and their mRNA expression in lung tissue homogenates were obviously lower than those in control group (P < 0.01); while the contents of IL-10, IL-13 and their mRNA expression were obviously higher than those in control group (P < 0.01). Changes in these contents and expression in HFOV + PS group were more obvious than those in HFOV group (P < 0.05).
Conclusions: HFOV can alleviate inflammatory response in rabbit lung tissue and pulmonary injury induced by inhalation injury, and the effect is more obvious when combined with PS.

Lung recruitment with HFOV versus VTV/AC in preterm infants with RDS.
BMC Pediatr

Pediatrics and Neonatology Department, Faculty of Medicine, Mansoura University, Mansoura, Egypt.
Objectives: To compare the effect of lung recruitment using high frequency ventilation versus volume targeted ventilation on duration of intubation as well as its effect on lung inflammation in preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome.
Methods: The study was conducted on a total of 40 preterm infants, 34 weeks gestational age or less, having RDS that needed intubation and mechanical ventilation within the first 72 h after their birth at the NICU of Mansoura University Children's Hospital during the period from July 2020 to July 2022. Infants included were randomly assigned into two groups, Group A who were subjected to LRM using HFOV (20 cases) and Group B who were subjected to LRM using VTV/AC (20 cases).
Elective high frequency oscillatory ventilation versus conventional mechanical ventilation on the chronic lung disease or death in preterm infants administered surfactant: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Department of Neonatology, Women and Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, Chongqing Health Center for Women and Children, Chongqing, 400010, China.
Background: Use of elective high frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) compared with conventional mechanical ventilation (CMV) results in a small reduction in the risk of chronic lung disease (CLD) or death, but the evidence is weak. Our objective was to explore whether elective HFOV was associated with less CLD or death as compared with CMV in preterm infants administered surfactant.
Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis, including 1835 ventilated participants from 11 randomized controlled trials comparing elective HFOV with CMV between February 1993 and February 2014.

Objectives: We sought to evaluate whether different subgroups of adults with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) respond differently to high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV).
Design: The Oscillation for ARDS Treated Early (OSCILLATE) trial was a randomized controlled trial of HFOV vs. conventional ventilation that found an increased risk of in-hospital mortality (primary outcome) with HFOV.
Effect of high-frequency oscillatory ventilation with intermittent sigh breaths on carbon dioxide levels in neonates.

Division of Neonatology, Department of Pediatrics, Faculty of Medicine, Prince of Songkla University, Songkhla, Thailand.
Background: High-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) minimizes ventilator-induced lung injuries. Spontaneous sigh breathing may augment the functional residual capacity, increase lung compliance, and recruit atelectatic alveoli.
Purpose: To evaluate the difference in the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) in neonates receiving invasive HFOV as the primary mode of respiratory support before versus after sigh breaths (Sighs).

High-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) at frequencies of approximately 15 Hz is associated with optimal CO excretion. Higher frequencies using a nitrogen-oxygen gas mixture worsen CO excretion. An in vitro experiment using HFOV and a helium-oxygen gas mixture showed a significant increase in CO transport, which increased with increases in ventilation frequency.
