What is a frequent requirement when employing the low-volume strategy while ventilating a neonatal patient with pulmonary interstitial emphysema by HFV?

Question

Low-volume strategy is accomplished with all HFV systems by using a lower 11eb6937_bd35_59c6_bb3a_e7f0118e180a_TB8261_11 than the process creating the problem. Patients for whom this strategy is used are usually undergoing CV before being switched to HFV. This allows the lung to derecruit and isolate damaged areas from inflation pressures. The consequence of this, however, is the frequent requirement for a higher FiO₂. In addition, tidal volume delivery must be decreased to further reduce tidal volume exposure while using I/E ratios and ventilatory frequencies that maximize gas egress.
