Use of high-flow nasal oxygen in spontaneously breathing pediatric patients undergoing tubeless airway surgery: A prospective observational study.

ABSTRACT: The use of high-flow nasal oxygen is gaining popularity in apneic and spontaneously breathing adult patients during anesthesia. This prospective observational study evaluated the effect of high-flow nasal oxygen in maintaining adequate oxygenation and ventilation in spontaneously breathing pediatric patients with dynamic airway obstruction, undergoing tubeless airway surgery. Oxygenation was provided via an age-appropriate, high-flow nasal cannula at a flow rate of 2 L kg-1 min-1. Propofol and remifentanil were used to maintain anesthesia while preserving spontaneous respiration. We sought to determine the incidence and risk factors of rescue ventilation. Rescue ventilation with a face mask was performed when the pulse oximetry oxygen saturation was <90% or transcutaneous carbon dioxide was >80 mm Hg. In total, 27 patients were included in the final analysis. Median (interquartile range) of pulse oximetry and transcutaneous carbon dioxide were 100% (99%-100%) and 58.4 mm Hg (51.4-70.3 mm Hg), respectively. Altogether, 9 (33.3%) patients needed rescue ventilation during anesthesia. Of these, 7 patients (25.9%) developed oxygen desaturation (<90%) and 2 patients (7.4%) developed hypercarbia. Patients who required rescue ventilation were significantly younger (8.2 vs 28.8 months, P = .02) and required a longer anesthesia time (55.7 vs 41.0 minutes, P = .04) than those who did not. In conclusion, High-flow nasal oxygen is an alternative technique to maintain oxygenation in children undergoing airway surgeries. However, younger age and longer anesthesia time are significant risk factors leading to the requirement of rescue ventilation in these patients. Further studies with large sample size are required for clinical application of these techniques.

Project description:ObjectivesThe current clinical treatment of neonates with respiratory distress syndrome includes endotracheal intubation and intratracheal instillation of exogenous surfactant. Nebulization of surfactant offers an attractive alternative. The aims of this study were to test nebulization as a noninvasive method of administering surfactant and determine the optimal dose for the treatment of respiratory distress syndrome-associated pathophysiology of the neonatal lungs.DesignProspective, randomized, animal model study.SettingAn experimental laboratory.SubjectsThirty-six newborn piglets.InterventionsDifferent doses (100, 200, 400, and 600 mg/kg) of poractant alfa were administered via a vibrating membrane nebulizer (eFlow-Neos; Pari Pharma GmbH, Starnberg, Germany) or a bolus administration using the intubation-surfactant-extubation (Insure) technique (200 mg/kg) to spontaneously breathing newborn piglets (n = 6/group) with bronchoalveolar lavage-induced respiratory distress syndrome during nasal continuous positive airway pressure (180 min).Measurements and main resultsPulmonary, hemodynamic, and cerebral effects were assessed. Histologic analysis of lung and brain tissue was also performed. After repeated bronchoalveolar lavage, newborn piglets developed severe respiratory distress syndrome. Rapid improvement in pulmonary status was observed in the Insure group, whereas a dose-response effect was observed in nebulized surfactant groups. Nebulized poractant alfa was more effective at doses higher than 100 mg/kg and was associated with similar pulmonary, hemodynamic, and cerebral behavior to that in the Insure group, but improved lung injury scores.ConclusionsIn newborn piglets with severe bronchoalveolar lavage-induced respiratory distress syndrome, our results demonstrate that the administration of nebulized poractant alfa using an investigational customized eFlow-Neos nebulizer is an effective and safe noninvasive surfactant administration technique.

Project description:BackgroundHypoxemia frequently occurs during bronchoscopy. High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) oxygen therapy may be a feasible alternative to prevent the deterioration of gas exchange during bronchoscopy. With the convenience of clinical use in mind, we modified an HFNC using a single cannula. This clinical trial was designed to test the hypothesis that a modified HFNC would decrease the proportion of patients with a single moment of peripheral arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2) < 90% during bronchoscopy.MethodsIn this single-center, prospective randomized controlled trial, hospitalized patients in the respiratory department in need of diagnostic bronchoscopy were randomly assigned to a modified HFNC oxygen therapy group or a conventional oxygen therapy (COT) group. The primary outcome was the proportion of patients with a single moment of SpO2 < 90% during bronchoscopy.ResultsEight hundred and twelve patients were randomized to the modified HFNC (n = 406) or COT (n = 406) group. Twenty-four patients were unable to cooperate or comply with bronchoscopy. Thus, 788 patients were included in the analysis. The proportion of patients with a single moment of SpO2 < 90% during bronchoscopy in the modified HFNC group was significantly lower than that in the COT group (12.5% vs. 28.8%, p < 0.001). There were no significant differences in the fraction of inspired oxygen between the two groups. The lowest SpO2 during bronchoscopy and 5 min after bronchoscopy in the modified HFNC group was significantly higher than that in the COT group. Multivariate analysis showed that a baseline forced vital capacity (FVC) < 2.7 L (OR, 0.276; 95% CI, 0.083-0.919, p = 0.036) and a volume of fluid instilled > 60 ml (OR, 1.034; 95% CI, 1.002-1.067, p = 0.036) were independent risk factors for hypoxemia during bronchoscopy in the modified HFNC group.ConclusionsA modified HFNC could decrease the proportion of patients with a single moment of SpO2 < 90% during bronchoscopy. A lower baseline FVC and large-volume bronchoalveolar lavage may predict desaturation during bronchoscopy when using a modified HFNC. Trial registration ClinicalTrials. Gov: NCT02606188.

Project description:BackgroundPostoperative pulmonary complications after esophagectomy still represent a matter of concern. High flow nasal cannula (HFNC) early after major abdominal and thoracic surgery has demonstrated some advantages over conventional oxygen therapy. Data about respiratory effect of HFNC after esophagectomy is scarce. The primary aim of this study is to investigate if the early use of HFNC after esophagectomy could enhance patients' postoperative respiratory oxygenation (ROX) index and, ultimately, reduce postoperative pneumonia.MethodsIn this single center retrospective study all patients undergoing to esophagectomy for cancer from May 2020 to November 2022 were evaluated. Historical cohort (HC) received postoperative oxygen supplementation with Venturi mask or nasal goggles, and a cohort was put under HFNC (HFNC cohort). ROX index, blood gas analysis, radiological atelectasis score (RAS), post-operative complications' data and information on hospital stay have been collected and analyzed.ResultsSeventy-one patients were included for the final statistical analysis, 31 in the HFNC and 40 in the HC cohort. Mean age was 64±10 years and body mass index (BMI) was 26 [24-29] kg/m2. ROX index was higher in the HFNC patients than in the HC, 20.8 [16.7-25.9] vs. 14.9 [10.8-18.2] (P<0.0001). In the HFNC cohort patients, pH was higher, 7.42 [7.40-7.44] vs. 7.39 [7.37-7.43] than HC, while PaCO2 was lower in HFNC cohort compared with HC, 39 [36-41] vs. 42 [39-45] mmHg, respectively (P=0.01). RAS was similar between the two cohorts of patients, 1.5±0.98 vs. 1.4±1.04 in the HFNC and the HC cohort, respectively (P=0.611). Lower acute respiratory failure (ARF) rate was recorded among HFNC than HC cohort, 0% vs. 13% respectively, P=0.06. No difference in pneumonia frequency between two cohorts was shown.ConclusionsHFNC improved the ROX index after esophagectomy through significant respiratory rate reduction. This tool should be considered for early respiratory support after extubation in this category of patients, not only as a rescue therapy for ARF, but also to optimize early postoperative respiratory function. Whether this will improve patients' outcomes requires further large randomized controlled trials.
