MORILLA GUZMAN, Andrés Armando  y  DOMINGUEZ DIEPPA, Fernando. Neonatal ventilation in Cuba, the most used modalities and the survival rates in the 2002-2011 period. Rev Cubana Pediatr [online]. 2013, vol.85, n.2, pp.163-172. ISSN 0034-7531.

Introduction: The assisted ventilation is a development marker of neonatology. Objective: To describe the behavior of ventilation modalities and their survival rates in Cuba. Methods: A national multicenter descriptive study was conducted in 14 377 ventilated newborns in the period of 2002 through 2011. The index of ventilated patients, the percentages of modalities with intermittent positive pressure, continuous positive pressure and high oscillatory frequency, and the survival percentages of each of them were all estimated. Results: The ventilation index rose to 2%, the use of continuous positive pressure to 29% and the high oscillatory frequency to 7.2% but the use of intermittent positive pressure decreased to 64%. The survival rates increased in all the modalities. Conclusions: There was increase of continuous positive pressure ventilation and in turn a reduction of intermittent positive pressure ventilation. The survival rate increased in all the modalities.
