Abstract

Advances in new techniques of infant respiratory function testing and resultant new findings in respiratory mechanics have contributed importantly to recent progress in the management of airways and the ventilation of infants and children. As clinical application of the laryngeal mask airway in pediatric anesthesia increases, controversy over the safety of this technique with positive pressure ventilation continues. Recent progress in the ventilation of pediatric patients in neonatal and pediatric intensive care settings is reviewed, including liquid breathing, inhaled nitric oxide, and various modes of mechanical ventilation.
