WHEN and HOW do we use the NEONATAL High Frequency Jet Ventilator!!!

PART II on jets!! WHEN do we USE the jet ventilator? What settings do we START babies on? What settings do we change if the gas shows an elevated C02? What about if we have a pneumothorax? What if the baby's oxygen is dropping? Should we always be using the jet for tiny premature infants? What evidence do we have? Learn the answers to all these questions in this video! PART II of our JET series.
