RESUMEN
Noninvasive high-frequency ventilation (NIHFV) is a new form of noninvasive ventilation which distends positive pressure continuously with oscillations superimposed on spontaneous tidal breathing, through a noninvasive interface.NIHFV, which provides the advantages of nasal continuous positive airway pressure and high frequency ventilation, can rapidly improve oxygenation, effectively remove carbon dioxide, and does not require synchronous techno-logy.It is considered as a new and effective noninvasive ventilation mode.In this paper, the application of NIHFV to neonates were reviewed, including mechanics of gas exchange, research advances and approach to the use of NIHFV.
