We do'nt use it. By my knowledge it is still unproven practice. If you want someone to discusse it I know one of my colleague who has some experiences in this regard.

To Sutirtha. Yes you'r right PRVC is more like SIMV than SIPPV. Fixed support.

It is not so easy to respond. One role of HCS is circulation stabilisation, adequate stress response and renal function improoving immediately after birth. Not suitable for babies with susceptibility to hyperglykemia. Second role is in the early stage of BPD when dexamethasone seems too strong. As avoidable choice for lower side effects of systemic corticosteroid.

If you need something what is most simmilar to SIPPV on Babylog than chose PRVC together with volume guarantie. If something simmilar to PSV than you go for PRVS= VS. Anyway you should have some representative in your country from Getinge. Get in contact with him/her. I know manual is very unfriendly written. Yes, NAVA is also of choice, but if you are without any lecture how to do that , it might be very difficult. Hope this help Regards Tom
