High-Frequency Ventilation:
Gentle Breathing Support for Your Premature Baby

We understand that having a premature baby can be an emotional rollercoaster. At Borneo Hospital, we’re committed to providing the most advanced and compassionate care for your little one. If your baby needs specialised respiratory support, our Level III NICU is equipped with state-of-the-art high-frequency ventilators, offering gentle and effective breathing assistance tailored to their delicate needs.

What are High-Frequency Ventilators?

High-frequency ventilators are specialised breathing machines designed to deliver small, rapid breaths to premature or critically ill babies. Unlike conventional ventilators, which deliver larger breaths at a slower rate, high-frequency ventilators provide a gentler form of ventilation that’s less likely to damage delicate lung tissue.

When are High-Frequency Ventilators Used?

High-frequency ventilators are often used for babies who:

  • Are born prematurely: Premature babies often have underdeveloped lungs that require extra support to breathe effectively.
  • Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS): This condition occurs when the lungs lack surfactant, a substance that helps them expand and contract properly.
  • Have other lung conditions: High-frequency ventilation may be used to treat other lung conditions, such as bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) or pneumonia.
  • Need gentle ventilation: Some babies may require a gentler form of ventilation to protect their delicate lungs from injury.
