title: [High-frequency ventilation].
abstract: The authors describe the methodology of high frequency ventilation in the newborn infant. Ventilation by oscillator (HFO) actually represents the best method for ventilation in newborn infants; the rate of ventilation is between 15 and 25 Hz/min. They report their experience of HFO use for the treatment of hyaline membrane disease in newborns.
