Optimal N-SIMV Pressure Settings for Newborns
In neonatal respiratory care, Nasal Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation (N-SIMV) is a mode commonly used for infants needing assisted breathing, particularly those born prematurely or with respiratory distress. The key parameters to consider in N-SIMV include PIP (Peak Inspiratory Pressure) and PEEP (Positive End-Expiratory Pressure). Proper adjustment of these values is crucial for maintaining effective and safe ventilation, supporting oxygenation, and reducing risks of lung injury.
