Abstract
The management of respiratory failure in infancy has altered considerably over the past two decades, due both to an increasing understanding of the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms involved and the development of new techniques of treatment. This paper outlines the rationale, indications, and details of the therapy which may be required in neonates and infants suffering from illnesses affecting respiratory function.Keywords
