Overview
Brief Summary
**Research question:**In neonates failing conventional mechanical ventilation and requiring high-frequency oscillatory ventilation as a rescue mode (P), does the addition of volume guarantee with HFOV (I) compared to HFOV alone (C) reduce the incidences of hypo or hypercarbia (O)?
**Research hypothesis:**In neonates failing CMV and requiring HFOV as a rescue mode, the addition of VG with HFOV will reduce the incidences of hypo or hypercarbia.
**Aim of the study:**To determine the efficacy of HFOV with VG in neonates failing CMV and requiring HFOV as a rescue mode.
