This document provides guidance on managing a neonate with respiratory distress, including defining the severity, identifying the etiology, initial management with oxygen therapy and supportive care, and the various modes of respiratory support including CPAP, NIV, HHHFNC, IMV, and HFOV. The goal of respiratory support is to optimize oxygenation and ventilation while avoiding lung injury through use of the lowest effective pressures and tidal volumes. Clinical assessment and arterial blood gases are important to monitor the adequacy of respiratory support and make adjustments as needed.
