High-frequency oscillatory ventilation: a nursing approach to bedside care.
The introduction of high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) to the intensive care nursery has stimulated us to develop infant care protocols for babies so treated. We identified specific areas unique to the SensorMedics HFOV and initiated nursing techniques to address each of the following areas: assessment, airway care, feedings, positioning, and safety. In summary, while on HFOV, an infant's assessment and care need not be minimized.
