Non-invasive ventilation This refers to assisted ventilation delivered through a non-invasive interface, such as a facemask, nasal mask or nasal prongs.
Long-term pulse oximetry monitoring at home can be used in these situations: * monitoring children that are using assisted ventilation and/or are tracheostomy dependent * weaning children from assisted ventilation through a defined protocol * children with idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis (first sign of pulmonary hemorrhage is desaturation) * children needing apnea monitoring who are at risk for disconnection, strangulation or injury from being tangled in apnea monitor wiring.
Support airway, breathing, and circulation with intravenous (IV) fluids, supplemental oxygen, and assisted ventilation, as indicated.
