Pediatric Noninvasive Ventilation

Abstract

Noninvasive ventilation has been available for many years for use in the pediatric population. Historically, continuous positive airway pressure and bilevel positive airway pressure modes were used for respiratory diseases, including neonatal apnea, bronchiolitis, asthma, and pneumonia. Newer studies suggest that noninvasive ventilation is also an effective and safe mode for support of children with acute respiratory distress syndrome and respiratory failure. The newest type of noninvasive respiratory support is high flow nasal cannula, which has gained popularity in the past few years and its use is being justified in the literature. Studies have shown that these therapies can decrease the need for intubation and ventilation, decrease length of intensive care days, and increase patient comfort. Additional research is needed to support optimal setting selection and recommendations for the use of noninvasive therapies for infants and children.
