Design Internet-based survey of all 50 tertiary neonatal units in Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Norway. Results Response rate was 100\%. VTV was routinely used in 25 (50\%) units; 15/25 (60\%) in Australasia and 10/25 (40\%) in the Nordic countries. The most common reason given for using VTV was that it reduces bronchopulmonary dysplasia (13/25; 52\%). The median (IQR) of upper limits of target tidal volume were (1) for initial ventilation of preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome 5.0 (4.6{\textendash}6.0) ml/kg and (2) for infants with ventilator-dependent bronchopulmonary dysplasia 6.0 (5.0{\textendash}8.0) ml/kg. The median (IQR) maximum peak inspiratory pressure limit units were prepared to use in VTV-mode was 35 (30{\textendash}42.5) cm H2O. Conclusion Half of the units used VTV routinely, but with a considerable variation in VTV practice. More studies are required to establish best VTV practice.}, issn = {1359-2998}, URL = {https://fn.bmj.com/content/96/2/F146}, eprint = {https://fn.bmj.com/content/96/2/F146.full.pdf}, journal = {Archives of Disease in Childhood - Fetal and Neonatal Edition} }
