Is anyone using APRV in the nicu, newborn poulation? What ventilator are you using and what is your success rate. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Isolated in Los Angeles !

gklien,

Check out intensivecareonline.com., a Drager website. You may get feedback on this forum, but a few on ICON use APRV(Drager) in the neonatal population. Also, Look up Dr. Hasbashi's article in "Critical Care Medicine", I believe Dec. 2005.

hi GKlein:

Have you anything to report?? I am also curious about the use of APRV in neo populations. Have you found anyone with feedback or studies to support your query?

Looking forward to hearing more!!
