Volume-targeted ventilation has been widely used in neonates requiring mechanical ventilation in recent years. However, as a novel method, its application involves risks. Based on domestic and international evidence, we developed a guideline for the use of volume-targeted ventilation in neonatal respiratory support using the grading of recommendations for assessment, development and evaluation of evidence (GRADE) method, to help neonatal healthcare professionals standardize the use of volume target ventilation.
