Item Human milk bank and personalized nutrition in the NICU: a narrative review(European Journal of Pediatrics (EJPE), 2020) Sánchez Luna, Manuel Ramón; Caballero Martin, Sylvia; Sánchez Gómez de Orgaz, CarmenThe number of infants born preterm including extremely premature babies is rising worldwide, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, which challenge neonatologists and milk banks for the provision of the most adequate nutrition for successful infant's growth and development. The benefits of mother's own milk (MOM) have been extensively recognized, but the use of donor milk (DM) is a commonly routine practice in preterm neonates admitted to the NICU. Pasteurized mature milk from milk banks is not the same composition than the mother's colostrum and premature milk, the characteristics of which protect the infant from the risk for necrotizing enterocolitis, late-onset sepsis, and other comorbidities associated with prematurity. The development of a personalized nutrition unit (PNU) allows to obtain DM from mothers who have their infants admitted to the NICU and produce an excess of milk, a practice that matches MOM by gestational age and the stage of lactation, ensuring an adequate composition of DM to target the nutritional requirements of premature infants.Conclusion: This narrative review presents salient data of our current knowledge and concerns regarding milk feeding of preterm infants in the NICU, with special emphasis on personalized DM as a result of establishing a PNU. What is Known: • Donor milk bank is mature or pooled milk from lactating mothers at different stages of lactation. • Milk composition varies by gestational age and stage of lactation. What is New: • Donor milk from mothers delivered prematurely have the most adequate composition for preterm infant feeding. • Personalized nutrition for premature infants with preterm donor milk is feasibleItem Beractant and poractant alfa in premature neonates with respiratory distress syndrome: a systematic review of real-world evidence studies and randomized controlled trials(Journal of Perinatology, 2020) Sánchez Luna, Manuel Ramón; Bacher, Peter; Unnebrink, Kristina; Martinez Tristani, Marisol; Ramos Navarro, CristinaFindings from previous meta-analyses of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) in premature infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) varied as to whether clinical outcomes differed by type of animal-derived pulmonary surfactant; real-world evidence (RWE) was excluded. We extracted study characteristics and outcomes from full-text articles from a systematic search for studies that compared beractant with poractant alfa for RDS in preterm infants. RWE data were tabulated; RCT data were subjected to meta-analyses. Designs, patient characteristics, and follow-up durations varied widely among studies (4 RWE, 15 RCT). RWE studies with adjusted odds ratios (ORs) found no statistically significant between-treatment differences in outcomes. In RCT meta-analyses, no statistically significant between-treatment differences were observed for death (OR [95% confidence interval], 1.35 [0.98-1.86]), bronchopulmonary dysplasia (1.25 [0.96-1.62]), pneumothorax (1.21 [0.72-2.05]), and air leak syndrome (2.28 [0.82-6.39]). Collectively, outcomes were similar with beractant and poractant alfa in RWE studies and pooled RCTs.Item Risk factors and bronchopulmonary dysplasia severity: data from the Spanish Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia Research Network(European Journal of Pediatrics, 2021) Ramos Navarro, Cristina; Maderuelo Rodríguez, Elena; Concheiro Guisán, Ana; Pérez Tarazona, Santiago; Rueda Esteban, Santiago; Sánchez Torres, Ana; Sánchez Solís, Manuel; Sanz López, Ester; Sánchez Luna, Manuel RamónGEIDIS is a national-based research-net registry of patients with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) from public and private Spanish hospitals. It was created to provide data on the clinical characterization and follow-up of infants with BPD until adulthood. The purpose of this observational study was to analyze the characteristics and the impact of perinatal risk factors on BPD severity. The study included 1755 preterm patients diagnosed with BPD. Of the total sample, 90.6% (n = 1591) were less than 30 weeks of gestation. The median gestational age was 27.1 weeks (25.8-28.5) and median birth weight 885 g (740-1,070 g). A total of 52.5% (n = 922) were classified as mild (type 1), 25.3% (n = 444) were moderate (type 2), and 22.2% (n = 389) were severe BPD (type 3). In patients born at under 30 weeks' gestation, most pre-and postnatal risk factors for type 2/3 BPD were associated with the length of exposure to mechanical ventilation (MV). Independent prenatal risk factors were male gender, oligohydramnios, and intrauterine growth restriction. Postnatal risk factors included the need for FiO2 of > 0.30 in the delivery room, nosocomial pneumonia, and the length of exposure to MV. Conclusion: In this national-based research-net registry of BPD patients, the length of MV is the most important risk factor associated with type 2/3 BPD. Among type 3 BPD patients, those who required an FiO2 > .30 at 36 weeks' postmenstrual age had a higher morbidity, during hospitalization and at discharge, compared to those with nasal positive pressure but FiO2 < .30. What is Known: • BPD is a highly complex multifactorial disease associated with preterm birth. What is New: • The length of exposure to mechanical ventilation is the most important postnatal risk factor associated to bronchopulmonary severity which modulate the effect of most pre and postnatal risk factors. • Among patients with BPD, the requirement for FiO2 >.30% at 36 weeks of postmenstrual age is associated with greater morbidity during hospitalization and at discharge.Item Neonates Born to Mothers With COVID-19: Data From the Spanish Society of Neonatology Registry(Pediatrics, 2021) Sánchez Luna, Manuel Ramón; Fernández Colomer, Belén; De Alba Romero, Concepción; Sánchez García, Laura; Zamora Flores, ElenaObjectives: To describe neonatal and maternal characteristics of the largest prospective cohort of newborns from mothers with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the data of which were prospectively collected from the nationwide registry of the Spanish Society of Neonatology. Methods: Between March 8, 2020, and May 26, 2020, the data of 503 neonates born to 497 mothers diagnosed with COVID-19 during pregnancy or at the time of delivery were collected by 79 hospitals throughout Spain. Results: Maternal symptoms were similar to that of the general population, with 5% of severe forms. In 45.8% of asymptomatic women at the time of delivery, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection was detected because of recommendations established in Spain to perform COVID-19 screening in all women admitted to the hospital for labor. The rate of preterm deliveries was 15.7% and of cesarean deliveries, 33%. The most common diagnostic test was detection of viral RNA by polymerase chain reaction of nasopharyngeal swabs at a median age of 3 hours after delivery (1-12 hours). Almost one-half of neonates were left skin-to-skin after delivery, and delayed clamping of umbilical cords was performed in 43% of neonates. Also, 62.3% of asymptomatic neonates were managed with rooming-in. Maternal milk was received by 76.5% of neonates, 204 of them as exclusive breastfeeding. Conclusions: The current study indicates that there is no need for separation of mothers from neonates, allowing delayed cord clamping and skin-to-skin contact along with maintenance of breastfeeding in a high percentage of newborns from mothers with COVID-19.Item 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 JavierThe 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.Item Spanish population‐study shows that healthy late preterm infants had worse outcomes one year after discharge than term‐born infants(Acta Paediatrica: Nurturing the Child, 2018) Sánchez Luna, Manuel Ramón; Fernández Pérez, Cristina; Bernal, José Luis; Elola Somoza, Francisco JavierAim: This study assessed the risks associated with healthy late preterm infants and healthy term-born infants using national hospital discharge records. Method: We used the minimum basic data set of the Spanish hospital discharge records database for 2012-2013 to analyse the hospitalisation of newborn infants. The outcomes were in-hospital mortality and hospital re-admissions at 30 days and one year after their first discharge. Results: Of the 95 011 newborn infants who were discharged, 2940 were healthy late preterm infants, born at 34 + 0-36 + 6 weeks, and 18 197 were healthy term-born infants. The mean and standard deviation (SD) length of hospital stay were 6.0 (4.5) days in late preterm infants versus 2.8 (1.3) days in term-born infants (p < 0.001). Re-admissions were also higher in the late preterm group at 30 days (9.0% versus 4.4%) and one year (22.0% versus 12.4) (p < 0.001). The relative risk for death at one year was 4.9 in the late preterm group, when compared to the term-born infants (p = 0.026). Conclusion: The hospital discharge codes for otherwise healthy newborn preterm infants were associated with significantly worse 30-day and one-year outcomes when their re-admission and mortality rates were compared with healthy term-born newborn infantsItem Longitudinal Analysis of Continuous Pulse Oximetry as Prognostic Factor in Neonatal Respiratory Distress(American Journal of Perinatology, 2020) Solís García, Gonzalo; Maderuelo Rodríguez, Elena; Pérez Pérez, Teresa; Torres Soblechero, Laura; Gutiérrez Vélez, Ana; Ramos Navarro, Cristina; López Martínez, Raúl; Sánchez Luna, Manuel RamónObjective: Analysis of longitudinal data can provide neonatologists with tools that can help predict clinical deterioration and improve outcomes. The aim of this study is to analyze continuous monitoring data in newborns, using vital signs to develop predictive models for intensive care admission and time to discharge. Study design: We conducted a retrospective cohort study, including term and preterm newborns with respiratory distress patients admitted to the neonatal ward. Clinical and epidemiological data, as well as mean heart rate and saturation, at every minute for the first 12 hours of admission were collected. Multivariate mixed, survival and joint models were developed. Results: A total of 56,377 heart rate and 56,412 oxygen saturation data were analyzed from 80 admitted patients. Of them, 73 were discharged home and 7 required transfer to the intensive care unit (ICU). Longitudinal evolution of heart rate (p < 0.01) and oxygen saturation (p = 0.01) were associated with time to discharge, as well as birth weight (p < 0.01) and type of delivery (p < 0.01). Longitudinal heart rate evolution (p < 0.01) and fraction of inspired oxygen at admission at the ward (p < 0.01) predicted neonatal ICU (NICU) admission. Conclusion: Longitudinal evolution of heart rate can help predict time to transfer to intensive care, and both heart rate and oxygen saturation can help predict time to discharge. Analysis of continuous monitoring data in patients admitted to neonatal wards provides useful tools to stratify risks and helps in taking medical decisions. Key points: · Continuous monitoring of vital signs can help predict and prevent clinical deterioration in neonatal patients.. · In our study, longitudinal analysis of heart rate and oxygen saturation predicted time to discharge and intensive care admission.. · More studies are needed to prospectively prove that these models can helpmake clinical decisions and stratify patients' risks..Item New Strategies of Pulmonary Protection of Preterm Infants in the Delivery Room with the Respiratory Function Monitoring(American Journal of Perinatology, 2019) Zeballos Sarrato, Gonzalo; Sánchez Luna, Manuel Ramón; Zeballos Sarrato, Susana; Pérez Pérez, Alba; Pescador Chamorro, Isabel; Bellón Cano, Jose MaríaObjective: To investigate if the use of a visible respiratory function monitor (RFM) to use lower tidal volumes (Vts) during positive pressure ventilation (PPV) in the delivery room (DR) reduces the need of surfactant administration and invasive mechanical ventilation during the first 72 hours after birth of preterm infants <32 weeks' gestational age (GA). Study design: Infants <32 weeks' GA (n = 106) requiring noninvasive PPV were monitored with a RFM at birth and randomized to visible (n = 54) or masked (n = 52) display on RFM. Pulmonary data were recorded during the first 10 minutes after birth. Secondary analysis stratified patients by GA (<28, 28-29+6, or ≥30 weeks). Results: Median expiratory Vts during inflations were greater in the masked group (7 mL/kg) than in the visible group (5.8 mL/kg; p = 0.001) same as peak inflation pressure (PIP) administered (21.5 vs. 19.7 cmH2O; p < 0.001). Consequently, minute volumes were greater in the masked group (256 vs. 214 mL/kg/min; p < 0.001), with no differences in respiratory rate. These differences were higher in those <30 weeks' GA. There was no difference in the need of surfactant administration or intubation during the first 72 hours of age. Conclusion: Using a RFM in the DR prevents the use of large Vt and PIP during respiratory support inflations, mostly in the more immature newborn infants, but with no other short-term benefits.Item 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 JavierPrevious 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.Item 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 JavierTo 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.
