Comparison of Airway Pressure Release Ventilation to High-Frequency Oscillatory Ventilation in Neonates with Refractory Respiratory Failure

Figure 1

(a) Decrease in peak pressures with use of airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) for rescue, following failure on synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation (SIMV). (b) Associated increase in mean airway pressures with APRV as compared to SIMV. Closed circles to the left represent SIMV and to the right represent APRV. Transparent gray lines represent individual patients. Solid black line represents mean.
