Effect of a new respiratory care bundle on bronchopulmonary dysplasia in preterm neonates
(European Journal of Pediatrics, 2020) Ramos Navarro,Cristina; González Pacheco, Noelia; Sánchez de la Blanca, Ana Rodríguez; Sánchez Luna, Manuel Ramón
The development of devices that can fix the tidal volume in high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) has allowed for a significant improvement in the management of HFOV. At our institution, this had led to the earlier use of HFOV and promoted a change in the treatment strategy involving the use of higher frequencies (above 15 Hz) and lower high-frequency tidal volumes (VThf). The purpose of this observational study was to assess how survival without bronchopulmonary dysplasia grades 2 and 3 (SF-BPD) is influenced by these modifications in the respiratory strategy applied to preterm infants (gestational age < 32 weeks at birth) who required mechanical ventilation (MV) in the first 3 days of life. We compared a baseline period (2012-2013) against a period in which this strategy had been fully implemented (2016-2017). A total of 182 patients were exposed to MV in the first 3 days of life being a higher proportion on HFOV at day 3 in the second period 79.5% (n 35) in 2016-2017 vs 55.4% (n 31) in 2012-2013. After adjusting for perinatal risk factors, the second period is associated with an increased rate of SF-BPD (OR 2.28; CI 95% 1.072-4.878); this effect is more evident in neonates born at a gestational age of less than 29 weeks (OR 4.87; 95% CI 1.9-12.48).Conclusions : The early use of HFOV combined with the use of higher frequencies and very low VT was associated with an increase in the study population's SF-BPD. What is Known: • High-frequency ventilation with volume guarantee improve ventilation stability and has been shown to reduce lung damage in animal models. What is New: • The strategy of an earlier use of high-frequency oscillatory ventilation combined with the use of higher frequencies and lower tidal volume is associated to an increase in survival without bronchopulmonary dysplasia in our population of preterm infants.
Target volume‐guarantee in high‐frequency oscillatory ventilation for preterm respiratory distress syndrome: Low volumes and high frequencies lead to adequate ventilation
(Pediatry Pulmonology, 2021) Solís García, Gonzalo; González Pacheco, Noelia; Ramos Navarro, Cristina; Rodríguez Sánchez de la Blanca, Ana; Sánchez Luna, Manuel Ramón
Background and objectives: Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) and ventilation-induced lung injury lead to significant morbidity in preterm infants. High-frequency oscillatory ventilation with volume-guarantee (HFOV-VG) has been used as a rescue therapy and might lead to lower rates of death and bronchopulmonary dysplasia, especially when using low tidal volumes and high frequencies. The aim of the study was to define HFOV-VG parameters leading to adequate ventilation in the first 72 h of preterm RDS using a low volume and high-frequency strategy. Design and methods: Retrospective cohort study in a tertiary-level neonatology unit. Infants <32 weeks with severe respiratory insufficiency needing HFOV-VG were included. Patients were ventilated following a standard mechanical ventilation aiming for low tidal volumes and high frequencies. Clinical data, perinatal characteristics and high-frequency parameters corresponding with adequate ventilation were recorded. Results: 116 patients were included. Median gestational age was 25 weeks (interquartile range [IQR] = 24-27), median birth weight 724 g (IQR = 600-900 g). HFOV-VG was started at 2 h, median high-frequency tidal volume was 1.63 ml/kg (IQR = 1.44-1.84) and median frequency was 16 Hz (IQR = 15-18). Weight-adjusted tidal volumes did not depend on gestational age, antenatal corticosteroids nor chorioamnionitis, and were inversely correlated with frequencies (R 2 = -0.10, p = .001). Conclusion: HFOV-VG can reach adequate ventilation at high frequencies when using adequate volumes, providing a feasible ventilation strategy that might be of help in preterm infants with RDS.
DCO2/PaCO2 correlation on high-frequency oscillatory ventilation combined with volume guarantee using increasing frequencies in an animal model
(European Journal of Pediatrics, 2019) González Pacheco, Noelia; Sánchez Luna, Manuel Ramón; Arribas Sánchez, Cristina; Santos González, Martín; Orden Quinto, Cristina; Tendillo Cortijo, Francisco Javier
To examine the correlation DCO2/PaCO2 on high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) combined with volume guarantee (VG) throughout increasing frequencies in two different respiratory conditions, physiological and low compliance. Neonatal animal model was used, before and after a bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL). HFOV combined with VG was used. The frequency was increased from 10 to 20 Hz, and high-frequency tidal volume (VThf) was gradually decreased maintaining a constant DCO2. Arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) was evaluated after each frequency and VThf change. Six 2-day-old piglets were studied. A linear decrease in PaCO2 was observed throughout increasing frequencies in both respiratory conditions while maintaining a constant DCO2, showing a significant difference between the initial PaCO2 (at 10 Hz) and the PaCO2 obtained at 18 and 20 Hz. A new DCO2 equation (corrected DCO2) was calculated in order to better define the correlation between DCO2 and the observed PaCO2.Conclusion: The correlation DCO2/PaCO2 throughout increasing frequencies is not linear, showing a greater CO2 elimination efficiency at higher frequencies, in spite of maintaining a constant DCO2. So, using frequencies close to the resonant frequency of the respiratory system on HFOV combined with VG, optimizes the efficiency of gas exchange.What is Known: • The efficacy of CO2removal during high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV), described as the diffusion coefficient of CO2(DCO2) is related to the square of the high-frequency tidal volume (VThf) and the frequency (f), expressed as DCO2= VThf2× f.What is New: • The correlation between DCO2and PaCO2throughout increasing frequencies is not linear, showing a greater CO2elimination efficiency at higher frequencies. So, using very high frequencies on HFOV combined with volume guarantee optimizes the efficiency of gas exchange allowing to minimize lung injury.
Lung recruitment in neonatal high‐frequency oscillatory ventilation with volume‐guarantee
(Pediatric Pulmonology, 2022) Solís García, Gonzalo; González Pacheco, Noelia; Ramos Navarro, Cristina; Vigil Vázquez, Sara; Gutiérrez Vélez, Ana; Merino Hernández, Amaia; Rodríguez Sánchez De la Blanca, Ana; Sánchez Luna, Manuel Ramón
Background and objectives: The optimal lung volume strategy during high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) is reached by performing recruitment maneuvers, usually guided by the response in oxygenation. In animal models, secondary spontaneous change in oscillation pressure amplitude (ΔPhf) associated with a progressive increase in mean airway pressure during HFOV combined with volume guarantee (HFOV-VG) identifies optimal lung recruitment. The aim of this study was to describe recruitment maneuvers in HFOV-VG and analyze whether changes in ΔPhf might be an early predictor for lung recruitment in newborn infants with severe respiratory failure. Design and methods: The prospective observational study was done in a tertiary-level neonatology department. Changes in ΔPhf were analyzed during standardized lung recruitment after initiating early rescue HFOV-VG in preterm infants with severe respiratory failure. Results: Twenty-seven patients were included, with a median gestational age of 24 weeks (interquartile range [IQR]: 23-25). Recruitment maneuvers were performed, median baseline mean airway pressure (mPaw) was 11 cm H2 O (IQR: 10-13), median critical lung opening mPaw during recruitment was 14 cm H2 O (IRQ: 12-16), and median optimal mPaw was 12 cm H2 O (IQR: 10-14, p < 0.01). Recruitment maneuvers were associated with an improvement in oxygenation (FiO2 : 65.0 vs. 45.0, p < 0.01, SpO2/FiO2 ratio: 117 vs. 217, p < 0.01). ΔPhf decreased significantly after lung recruitment (mean amplitude: 23.0 vs. 16.0, p < 0.01). Conclusion: In preterm infants with severe respiratory failure, the lung recruitment process can be effectively guided by ΔPhf on HFOV-VG.
New indicators for optimal lung recruitment during high frequency oscillator ventilation
(Pediatric Pulmonology, 2020) Rodríguez Sánchez de la Blanca, Ana; Sánchez Luna, Manuel Ramón; González Pacheco, Noelia; Ramos Navarro, Cristina; Santos González, Martín; Tendillo Cortijo, Francisco Javier
Previous research has demonstrated the potential benefit derived from the combination of high frequency oscillatory ventilation and volume guarantee mode (HFOV-VG), a procedure that allows us to explore and control very low tidal volumes. We hypothesized that secondary spontaneous change in oscillation pressure amplitude (∆Phf), while increasing the mean airway pressure (MAP) using HFOV-VG can target the lung recruitment. Methods: A two-step animal distress model study was designed; in the first-step (ex vivo model), the animal's lungs were isolated to visually check lung recruitment and, in the second one (in vivo model), they were checked through arterial oxygen partial pressure improvement. Baseline measurements were performed, ventilation was set for 10 min and followed by bronchoalveolar lavage with isotonic saline to induce depletion of surfactant and thereby achieve a low compliance lung model. The high-frequency tidal volume and frequency remained constant and the MAP was increased by 2 cmH2 O (ex vivo) and 3 cmH2 O steps (in vivo) every 2 min. Changes in ΔPhf to achieve the fixed volume were recorded at the end of each interval to describe the maximum drop point as the recruitment point. Results: Fourteen Wistar Han rats were included, seven on each sub-study described. After gradual MAP increments, a progressive decrease in ΔPhf related to recruited lung regions was visually demonstrated. In the in vivo model we detected a significant comparative decrease of ΔPhf, when measured against the previous value, after reaching a MAP of 11 cmH2 O up to 17 cmH2 O, correlating with a significant improvement in oxygenation. Conclusion: The changes in ∆Phf, linked to a progressive increase in MAP during HFOV-VG, might identify optimal lung recruitment and could potentially be used as an additional lung recruitment marker.
Use of very low tidal volumes during high-frequency ventilation reduces ventilator lung injury
(Journal of Perinatology, 2019) González Pacheco, Noelia; Sánchez Luna, Manuel Ramón; Chimenti Camacho, Paz; Santos González, Martín; Palau Concejo, Paula; Tendillo Cortijo, Francisco Javier
The use of volume guarantee (VG) on high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) allows to use fixed very low high-frequency tidal volume (VThf), maintaining adequate CO2 removal while potentially reducing the risk of ventilator-induced lung injury. Objective: To demonstrate that the use of very low VThf can be protective compared with standard VThf on HFOV combined with VG in a neonatal animal model. Study design: Experimental study in 2-day-old piglets with induced respiratory distress syndrome ventilated with two different HFOV strategies combined with VG (10 Hz with high VThf versus 20 Hz with very low VThf at similar PaCO2). After 12 h of mechanical ventilation, the pulmonary histologic pattern was analyzed. Results: We found in the 10 Hz group with the higher VThf compared with the 20 Hz and very low VThf group more evident and more severe histological lesions with inflammatory infiltrate within the alveolar wall and alveolar space, as well as large areas of parenchyma consolidation and areas of alveolar hemorrhage in the more severe cases. Conclusion: The use of very low VThf compared with higher VThf at similar CO2 removal reduces lung injury in a neonatal animal model of lung injury after prolonged mechanical ventilation with HFOV combined with VG.
Impact on cerebral hemodynamics of the use of volume guarantee combined with high frequency oscillatory ventilation in a neonatal animal respiratory distress model
(European Journal of Pediatrics (EJPE), 2023) Pérez Pérez, Alba; González Pacheco, Noelia; Arriaga Redondo, María; Ramos Navarro, Cristina; Rodríguez Corrales, Elena; Rodríguez Sánchez de la Blanca, Ana; González Navarro, Pablo; Santos González, Martín; Sánchez Luna, Manuel Ramón
High-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) is an alternative to conventional mechanical ventilation (CMV). Recently, the use of volume guarantee (VG) combined with HFOV has been suggested as a safe strategy capable of reducing the damage induced by ventilation in immature lungs. However, the possible impact of this new ventilation technique on cerebral hemodynamics is unknown. To evaluate the cerebral hemodynamics effect of HFOV combined with VG in an experimental animal model of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) due to surfactant deficiency compared with HFOV and CMV+VG (control group). Eighteen newborn piglets were randomized, before and after the induction of RDS by bronchoalveolar lavage, into 3 mechanical ventilation groups: CMV, HFOV and HFOV with VG. Changes in cerebral oxygen transport and consumption and cerebral blood flow were analyzed by non-invasive regional cerebral oxygen saturation (CrSO2), jugular venous saturation (SjO2), the calculated cerebral oxygen extraction fraction (COEF), the calculated cerebral fractional tissue oxygen extraction (cFTOE) and direct measurement of carotid artery flow. To analyze the temporal evolution of these variables, a mixed-effects linear regression model was constructed. After randomization, the following statistically significant results were found in every group: a drop in carotid artery flow: at a rate of -1.7 mL/kg/min (95% CI: -2.5 to -0.81; p < 0.001), CrSO2: at a rate of -6.2% (95% CI: -7.9 to -4.4; p < 0.001) and SjO2: at a rate of -20% (95% CI: -26 to -15; p < 0.001), accompanied by an increase in COEF: at a rate of 20% (95% CI: 15 to 26; p < 0.001) and cFTOE: at a rate of 0.07 (95% CI: 0.05 to 0.08; p < 0.001) in all groups. No statistically significant differences were found between the HFOV groups.
High-frequency Ventilation
(Clinics in Perinatology, 2021) Sánchez Luna, Manuel Ramón; González Pacheco, Noelia; Santos González, Martín; Tendillo Cortijo, Francisco Javier
High-frequency ventilation (HFV) is an alternative to conventional mechanical ventilation, with theoretic benefits of less risk of ventilator lung injury and more effectivity in washout CO2. Previous clinical studies have not demonstrated advantages of HFV in preterm infants compared with conventional ventilation, so rescue HFV has been used when severe respiratory insufficiency needs aggressive ventilator settings in immature infants. Today it is possible to measure, set directly, and fix tidal volume, which can protect the immature lung from large volumes and fluctuations of the tidal volume. This strategy can be used in preterm infants with respiratory failure needing invasive ventilation.
