Combined Oscillation-Volume guarantEe Study
Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) remains the most common respiratory complication in the early postnatal period among preterm infants born before 32 weeks' gestational age. For this population, implementing lung-protective ventilation strategies is essential to shorten the duration of intubation, reduce the incidence and severity of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), lower mortality, and improve overall outcomes.
HFOV-VG was first reported in 2015 to be safely applied in neonates. The fundamental principle lies in its ability to stabilize the tidal volume of high-frequency ventilation (VThf), thereby reducing sheer stress from amplitude fluctuations, while simultaneously permitting lower VThf settings to minimize volutrauma.
This study aims to evaluate whether HFOV+VG is superior to HFOV in reducing the composite outcome of grade 2-3 BPD or death at 36 weeks' post-menstrual age (PMA).
