Describe the indications for CPAP in the neonate.
Abnormalities on physical exam (ie. Tachypnea, retractions, grunting, nasal flaring, pale or cyanosis, agitation), inadequate ABGs (exhibited by PaO2  50 mmHg on FiO2 > 0.6 but adequate VE shown by pH  7.25 and PaCO2  50 mmHg), poorly expanded and/or infiltrated lungs on CXR and, a condition responsive to CPAP (RDS, Pulmonary edema, atelectasis, apnea of prematurity, recent extubation, TTNB, tracheal malacia…)
Describe the contraindications for non-invasive ventilation in the neonate.
The need for intubation and ventilation! This includes conditions such as nasal obstruction, choanal atresia, cleft palate and TE fistula; severe cardiovascular instability/impending arrest, unstable respiratory drive manifesting as apneas with brady’s and desat’s or ventilatory failure (PaCO2 > 60 with pH < 7.25). Also, untreated congenital diaphragmatic hernia, history of recent GI surgery and bronchiolitis.
severe refractory hypoxemia in adults?
we look at PF ratios (< 200 critical), A-a gradient (>350 critical), and PaO2/PAO2 (<0.15 critical)
severe refractory hypoxemia In neonates?
PaO2 < 50 mmHg despite use of CPAP and supplemental oxygen (with FiO2 > 0.6)
adult VT target?
VT 6-10 mL/kg (if no lung pathology select the higher side of this, if some lung patho is present use the lower side). Use 5-7 mL/kg if needing a lung protective strategy.
Adult RR target?
Frequency 10-18 (initial setting typically 12-14 bpm but set to get goal MV of ~100 mL/kg.
Adult Blood Gas target?
For the adult patient the normal goal ranges for ABGs:
Normal blood gas values for ventilation (ie. pH 7.35-7.45, PaCO2 35-45 mmHg)
PaO2 60-100 mmHg
Saturations 90%
Neo Vt target?
VT : 4-6 mL/kg for neonates > 28 weeks and 4 mL/kg for neonates < 28 weeks
Neo RR target?
Frequency 40-60 bpm (on the lower range for term “healthy” babies, on the upper range the more premature they are.)
Neo Pressure target?
PIP set to get the desired VT. If no VT monitoring then can estimate by looking for inflation to the 9th rib on inspiration (on CXR). Note that in neonates PIPs should be kept to < 25-30 cmH2O (if unable to maintain ABGs at this then consider HFO)
Neo Insp. time target?
PIP set to get the desired VT. If no VT monitoring then can estimate by looking for inflation to the 9th rib on inspiration (on CXR). Note that in neonates PIPs should be kept to < 25-30 cmH2O (if unable to maintain ABGs at this then consider HFO)
Neo Blood gas goal?
The normal goal ranges for ABGs in the neonates are a pH ≥ 7.25, PaCO2 40-50 for > 28 weeks and 45-55 for < 28 weeks (permissive hypercapnia is the goal!), and SpO2 85-94%.
When ventilating a neonatal patient, the goal SpO2 would be
85-94%
Normal neonatal lung compliance is
1-2 mL/cmH2O
Normal airway resistance of a spontaneously breathing adult is:
0.6-2.4 cmH2O/L/s
When ventilating an adult COPD patient, which of the following strategies are considered:
Setting low RR and short inspiratory times
When ventilating a patient with an acute traumatic brain injury which of the following would be appropriate
Targeting low-normal PaCO2
Hyaline Membrane Disease (HMD/RDS)
strategy
Set PEEP for appropriate recruitment (CXR)
Permissive hypercapnia
VT ~ 4 mL/kg
Goal pH ≥ 7.25
Peak pressures should be < 25-30 cmH2O
Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension (PPHN)
strategy
New trend is target low/normal PaCO2 (35-40) with pH 7.40-7.45
Hyperoxygenate to PaO2 > 100 mmHg and higher SpO2
Nitric oxide therapy
To meet these goals consider:
Conventional mechanical ventilation
HFO
HFJV
ECMO
Cyanotic Heart Defects
Usually require a PDA for survival
Eg. Transposition, Tetralogy of Fallot, Hypoplastic left heart
Target ABGs:
Rule of 40’s:
pH 7.40, PaCO2 40’s, PaO2 40’s
SpO2 70-80%
 These mimic in-utero conditions and maintain a PDA
Meconium Aspiration Syndrome (MAS)
Strategy
Surfactant replacement therapy (+/-)
Lung protective strategy
Appropriate VT’s
Mild hyperventilation (low/normal CO2) and hyperoxygenation to treat concurrent PPHN
Peak pressures should be < 30 cmH2O
Watch for hyperinflation
For more severe cases consider NO, HFO, HFJV, ECMO
Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia
strategy
Resuscitation:
Intubate immediately (avoid BVM); gastric tube
Use 100% O2 from beginning (not R/A)
Connect to vent ASAP
Ventilation Strategy:
“Gentle ventilation”: AVOID vigorous chest rise
Preserve spontaneous efforts (ie. Minimal sedation)
Permissive hypercapnia
Avoid high pressures (pnuemothorax a strong marker for mortality)
HFO and NO considered;
ECMO in severe cases (often decided antenatally)
TPTV TLC
Time-triggered, pressure-limited (and flow-limited), time-cycled breath
APRV
Phigh
Plow
Thigh
Tlow
PHIGH: set at current plateau pressure, should be kept < 35 cmH2O
PLOW: set at 0 cmH2O
To minimize exp. resistance and maximize expiratory flows
THIGH: minimum of 4 sec
TLOW: 0.5 to 1.0 s (0.8 s a good place to start)
Weaning APRV
The goal is to arrive at straight CPAP:
Wean PHIGH in increments of 2-3 cmH2O
Lengthen THIGH in 0.5-2.0 s increments
Should be in straight CPAP at pressures of 12 cmH2O and then CPAP is weaned
Once at CPAP ~ 6-12 patient is extubated
Rate of weaning depends on the severity of the ALI/ARDS
PAV TLC
patient triggered, pressure-limited proportionally-targeted?, flow-cycled
What mode could be used for Patients with abnormalities in R and C
Obstructive disease, restrictive disease, combined…?
