Promises alone do not seduce Professor Greenough. In the first of four articles on management issues in chronic lung disease of prematurity she provides a concise review of the evidence base for the many new ventilation modes available and concludes that we shouldn't adopt them into routine practice until they are proven to be efficacious. Likewise pulmonary function testing. Schibler and Frey describe the currently available techniques and the complexities of their interpretation. Measurements are getting easier and this offers new insights into neonatal ventilator care but there are many pitfalls and we await evidence that we can use them to improve outcomes. Kotecha and Allen nail their colours to the mast over supplemental oxygen treatment, recommending that infants with established chronic lung disease who are not at risk of further progression of retinopathy of prematurity should have their saturations maintained above 94%. Abman discusses the monitoring of cardiovascular function
