Pressure-limited, time-cycled ventilation has been the primary mode of ventilation for neonates for several decades. But the realization that volume rather than pressure causes ventilator-induced lung injury has led to the development of new strategies for ventilation. Volume guarantee is a mode of ventilation that automatically adjusts the inspiratory pressure to achieve a set tidal volume according to changes in lung compliance or resistance or the patient’s respiratory drive. Volume-guaranteed ventilation delivers a specific, preset volume of gas, and inspiration ends when it has been delivered. This mode of ventilation requires careful attention to the infant and to ventilator settings.
