Infants in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) may be lost due to risks such as being sensitive, frequent exposure to birth complications and being prone to infection. The most common causes of mortality in newborn babies in the world; Complications due to preterm delivery (28%), infections (26%) and perinatal asphyxia (23%) were reported. Respiratory problems are observed in 4-6% of newborns. These problems are also important causes of mortality in the neonatal period. Newborn infants are more likely to have respiratory distress due to difficulties in airway calibration, few collateral airways, flexible chest wall, poor airway stability, and low functional residual capacity.Invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) is frequently used in the treatment of newborns with respiratory failure. Various ventilation modes and strategies are used to optimize mechanical ventilation and prevent ventilator-induced lung injury. Among the important issues to be considered in newborns connected to mechanical ventilator (MV); Choosing an appropriately sized endotracheal tube to reduce airway resistance and minimize respiratory workload, correct positioning, regular nursing care, chest physiotherapy, sedation-analgesia, and infection prevention are also included.
