ABSTRACT

Volume ventilation is being adopted into neonatal transport practice despite limited evidence of efficacy. More infants completed transport with normal pCO₂ when transferred on volume ventilation. Insights into the potential utility of volume ventilation to control pCO₂ during neonatal transport. Evidence of the successful routine use of volume ventilation during neonatal transport. Guidance for the construction of prospective research into the benefits of volume ventilation in controlling pCO₂ during neonatal transport.
