2 NIV advantages in PICU reduced intubation rates and risks associated with EET (VILI-VAP) increased survival preserve normal swallowing and cough mechanisms deep sedation not required decreased intensive care and hospital stay decreased costs

3 Tracheal injury from intubation

4 NIV disadvantages more difficult to start off slower correction of arterial blood gases airways are not protected difficulty in removing airway secretions gastric distension patient discomfort/claustrophobia

5 - observational retrospective cohort study: 3124 patients admitted, 1814 EET, 114 patients NPPV - 83/114 patients (77%) were successfully treated by NPPV without intubation - success rate of NPPV was significantly lower (22%) in the patients with ARDS than in the other patients number of patients admitted to PICU patients who required EET % patients treated with NIPPV/total % patients treated with NIPPV/total EET 0.2% 7% 0.45% 12%

6 NIV techniques Humidified high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) CPAP Bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP) Intermittent positive pressure ventilation

7 Why is NIV more effective if synchronized? because the positive pressure is delivered immediately after the start of a respiratory effort, when the glottis is opening

8 NIV: patient selection Well-established procedure in children with hypoventilation due to chronic respiratory dysfunction - neuromuscular disorders - restrictive rib cage and chest wall deformities - hypoventilation disorders due to obesity - chronic upper airway obstruction (OSAS) - chronic obstructive airway diseases (advanced cystic fibrosis) - disorders of respiratory control (?) Less well defined its role in children with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure - obstructive lung disease (ARF II): status asthmaticus, bronchiolitis - restrictive lung disease (ARF I): pneumonia, atelectasis, ARDS, pulmonary oedema

9 NIV: physiological effects FRC (PEEP) recruitment of collapsed or non-ventilated alveoli decreases airway/pulmonary resistances improves ventilation-perfusion ratio PaO 2 Vt (PIP) improves minute volume: PaCO 2 Work of breathing Cardiac output

10 HFNC: physiological effects - positive airway pressure generation (variable) - washout of nasopharyngeal anatomical dead space: alveolar gas fractions are moved toward fresh gas values

11 NIV: interface selection...the choice of the interface depends on the age of the patient

12 NIV: interface selection Binasal prongs Advantages - best for newborns and young infants - oral leaks are not a problem Disadvantages - possible nasal lesions - often not tolerated by infants

13 Nasal mask Advantages - low dead space - easier secretion clearance - oral leaks can be reduced using a pacifier - often best tolerated by older infants Disadvantages - higher resistance through the nose - nasal irritation and rhinorrhea - mouth leak - mouth dryness

14 Face mask Advantages - easier to fit - minimised leakage - more comfortable for some patients - less risk of skin lesions in recent models Disadvantages - gastric distension, worsening GER, risk of aspiration - increased dead space - patient cooperation may be difficult (claustophobia!) - potential drying of the eyes

15 Helmet Advantages - fits regardless of the shape of the face - more comfortable for some patients - no risk of facial skin lesions Disadvantages - increased dead space - risk of rebreathing - noisy with high flow (up to 100 db) - difficulty in the management of small patients - difficulty in removing airway secretions - poorer patient-ventilator synchrony -

16 NIV: when to start? moderate to severe dyspnoea respiratory rate > 75 percentile according to age gas-exchange derangement: - hypoxemia (ARF I) : FiO 2 > 0.5 to obtain peripheral SaO 2 > 94% and/or - acute hypercapnia (ARF II) with respiratory acidosis (ph < 7.30)

17 NIV: contraindications Significant respiratory distress (severe respiratory acidosis) Significant hemodynamic instability Low Pediatric Glasgow Coma Scale (eye, verbal and motor response) Severe air-leaks Vomiting/inability to protect the airway or to handle oral secretions Obstructed bowel/upper gastrointestinal tract bleeding Oro-facial abnormalities which interfere with fitting the mask

18 NIV: at the beginning the first min need a great attention an expert doctor or nurse must be present initiate NIV while holding the mask in place: no straps yet! FiO 2 SaO 2 > 90% avoid PIP > 20 cmh 2 O and PEEP 5 cm H 2 O optimize the position of the baby to keep the airways free and reduce leaks check for signs of poor tolerance and worsening of distress identify other factors that may interfere with the technique (heat/cold/pain /etc; consider mild sedation)

19 NIV: monitoring SaO 2 EGA within 1h, if needed at 2-6 h PaO 2 /FiO 2 RR HR BP Gastric distension Asynchrony Dyspnoea Comfort Consciousness (pco 2 )

20 NIV: indicators of success Early use, ph > 7.25 Improvement of HR, RR, BP, ph and PaCO 2 within 30 min-2 h of starting Improvement of oxygenation and decreased retractions and accessory muscle use Comfort of the patient and synchronization Team effort

21 Bronchiolitis - is the leading cause of lower respiratory tract infection in infants: 64 million cases and 160 thousand deaths in the world every year (WHO 2009) - admission to a PICU is required in ~ 8-10% of the cases for: evolving respiratory distress apnoea spells and/or bradicardia hyponatriemia and seizures myocarditis - with coexisting co-morbidities this percentage increases to more than 30% e.g. CLD, CHD, immunodeficiency, prematurity

22 Significant increase in the use of NIV: 2.8 %/year NIV ETT LOS: 5.19 ± 6.34 days LOS: 2.38 ± 2.43 days

23 years retrospective analysis of all infants < 24 months admitted to the PICU within their first 24 h and treated with HFNP between 2005 and criteria for admission: O 2 requirement of more than 2 l/min and need for respiratory support additional to supplemental O 2 HF+N: HFNP followed by other non-invasive ventilation
