Liquid ventilator

A typical cycle is composed of four steps : Studies have shown both the efficacy and safety of liquid ventilation in normal, mature and immature newborn lungs.

[1] Studies suggest clear benefits of liquid ventilation in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

[14] For example, total liquid ventilation could be used for newborns with severe neonatal respiratory distress syndrome[15] in which conventional treatment has failed.

Typical cases are late preterm newborns who have an increased risk of intracranial hemorrhage and for whom their small vessel size poses technical limitations for Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).

For example, literature data suggest a radical change in the treatment of meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS) by considering the use of a liquid ventilator.

The demonstration of its efficacy was performed in the neonatal lamb..[16][17] The liquid ventilator with advanced control temperature of PFC allows the rapid cooling of the body.
