Julius Comroe (1945)
“The clinician must bear in
mind that oxygen is a drug
and must be used in
accordance with well
recognized pharmacologic
principles; i.e., since it has
certain toxic effects and is
not completely harmless (as
widely believed in clinical
circles) it should be given
only in the lowest dosage or
concentration required by
the particular patient.”
• In preterm baby receiving O2, the saturation
target should be 90-94%
• To achieve this, suggested alarm limits should
be 89-95%
Respiratory Support General Principles
A. The aims of respiratory support are to maintain
adequate oxygenation and ventilation, to reduce
respiratory work and to prevent lung injury.
B. With mechanical ventilation, use small or normal tidal
volumes and the lowest effective ventilator pressures.
Both large tidal volumes and high pressures cause
lung injury and inflammation, especially in preterm
infants.
C. PEEP is critical for maintenance of FRC. PEEP is the
main factor that influences PAW, a major determinant
of oxygenation.
Adequacy of Respiratory Support
• Comfortable baby
• Minimal retraction, no grunt
• Normal capillary refill, BP
• Normal saturations: 87% - 93%
• Normal ABG
(PaO2 60-80, PaCO2 40-60, pH 7.35-7.45, BE±2)
Modes of Respiratory Support
Non Invasive
• CPAP
• NIV
• HHHFNC
Invasive
• IMV/SIMV
• HFOV
The Best Ventilator: Least Lung Injury
What’s the Target of Respiratory
Support
• Optimise Oxygenation and Ventilation
• Correct V/Q mismatch
• Comfortable Baby
• Lung Recruitment
• Avoid Lung Hyperinflation & Lung Injury
Evidences of hyperinflation
• Lung expansion > 6 ribs anteriorly or > 8 ribs
posteriorly
• Flattening of diaphragms
• Increased lucency of lungs
• Air under the heart or herniation of lung to
other side
• Ribs more horizontal
Stable Alveoli
Unstable Alveoli
HFOV
Abnormal Gas Exchange
• Hypoxemia can be
due to:
– hypoventilation
– V/Q mismatch
– shunt
– diffusion
impairments
• Hypercarbia can be
due to:
– hypoventilation
– V/Q mismatch
CO2 elimination is determined by
 Recruit maximal alveoli
 Minimize alveolar dead space
No collapse / over-distension
 Minimize external dead space
 Tidal volume
 Reduce resistance & obstruction of airways
 Expiratory time and rates
• High CO2 - Cerebral Vasodilation---------------
risk of IVH
• Low CO2 –Cerebral Vasoconstriction----------
risk of PVL
Clinical assessment
• Appearance – color, posture, comfort
• Vitals – HR, RR, CRT,SaO2, NIBP, IBP,
• Respiratory – RDS, effort, retractions, alae nasi,
breath sounds, air entry, symmetry, ABG
• Circulatory – HR, CFT, BP, UO
• Abdomen- AG, feeds, orogastric tube, bowel sounds
• Neurological- state, activity, tone, posture, pain relief
CPAP
• Application of continuous distending pressure
through out the respiratory cycle in a
spontaneously breathing infant
CPAP machine
• Bubble CPAP
• Ventilator CPAP
• Infant Flow Driver
Management of a neonate with respiratory distress
Indications of CPAP
• Respiratory distress syndrome
• Transient tachypnoea of
newborn
• Post Extubation
• Apnea of prematurity
• MAS
• Pneumonia
• Laryngo/ Tracheo/Broncho
malacia
• Spontaneously breathing
• Haemodynamically stable
• No upper airway
anomalies
• Not in severe respiratory
failure
• CPAP from birth in all babies at risk of RDS
• System delivering CPAP is of little importance,
however the interface should be short binasal
prongs
• CPAP start at 5-6cm H2O and then
individualise depending on clinical condition,
oxygenation and perfusion
Contraindications of CPAP
• Progressive respiratory failure and unable to maintain
oxygenation, PaCO2 >60 mm Hg and/or pH 7.25 or less
• Congenital malformations: congenital diaphragmatic
hernia, tracheoesophageal fistula, choanal atresia, cleft
palate, gastroschisis
• Infants with severe cardiovascular instability
(hypotension, poor ventricular function)
• Neonates with poor or unstable respiratory drive
(frequent apnea, bradycardia, and/or oxygenation
desaturation) that is not improved by CPAP
Management of a neonate with respiratory distress
DEVICE ADVANTAGE DISADVANTAGE
Ventilator
CPAP
• No need of a separate equipment
•Can be easily switched over to
Mechanical ventilation, if CPAP fails
• Expensive
• Standard flow of 5-8L/ min may be
insufficient in the presence of high
leak
• Difficult to know if the set flow is
sufficient or not (insufficient flow can
lead to increased WOB)
Bubble CPAP • Simple and inexpensive
• Oscillations produced by
continuous bubbling might
contribute to gas exchange (akin to
HFV)
• Can identify large leaks at the
nares
(bubbling stops)
• Flow has to be altered to ensure
proper
bubbling
• It is difficult to detect high flow
which can ead to over distension of
the lungs
Variable Flow
Device
• Maintains more uniform pressure
•Might decrease the WOB
• Recruits lung volume more
effectively
• Expensive
• Requires more technical expertise
Flow, PEEP and FiO2• PEEP
– 5 cms
– Chest recessions, air entry, CXR
• FiO2 50%
• Flow
– 2 to 5 liters
– Minimum to ensure continuous bubbling
– High flow- check for leaks (open mouth)
Rule of 5
How do we know when to change CPAP
pressure?
• Clinical signs only – little research
1. Observe grunting / chest wall retraction
– If obvious ? need more pressure
2. How much oxygen?
– - high FiO2 ? Need more pressure
3. Observe the chest x-ray
• - very granular ? Need more pressure
– May need pressures > 5 cm H2O
Methods of weaning preterm babies <30 weeks gestation off CPAP:
a multicentre randomized controlled trial
Stability criteria( all 8 criteria for > 12hrs) Criteria for failed Trial Off (at least 2 of
Following)• CPAP 4-6cm H2O
• O2 requirement < 25% and not
increasing
• RR < 60
• No significant chest recession
( sternal/diaphragmatic)
• <3 episodes of self reverting
apneas/bradycardia/desaturation
s in 1hr for previous 6hrs
• Avg SpO2 > 86% most of time or
PaO2/TcPO2 >45mm Hg
• Not currently treated for
PDA/Sepsis
• Tolerated time off CPAP during
cares up to 15min
• Increase work of breathing
with RR> 75
• Increased
apnoea/bradycardia/desaturat
ions > 2 in 1 hr for previous
6hr period
• Increase O2 requirement >
25% to maintain SpO2 >86%
and/or PaO2/TcPO2 >45mm
Hg
• PH < 7.2
• PaCO2/ Tc PcO2 > 65 mm Hg
• Major apnea/ bradycardia
requiring Resuscitation
Arch Dis Child Fetal Neonatal Ed July 2012 Vol 97 No 4
When has CPAP failed?
• Apnoea
• Respiratory failure =
PaCO2 rising >60 mmHg
(pH<7.20)
• Or FiO2 is rising above
??? 60%
• Worsening of respiratory
distress
• Agitation not relieved by
simple measures
But only after you have
checked
– The prongs are in the nose
– They are the right size
– The nose has been cleared
– Place baby prone
– The mouth is closed
– The neck slightly extended
– You have tried higher
pressures (?? ~ 10 cm H2O
or more.)
HHHFNC
(F&P)
HHHFNC oxygen therapy: definition
Optimally warmed and humidified respiratory gases
delivered by nasal cannula at flow rates between 2
and 8 L/min.
Mechanism of action
• Reduce dead space
making minute
ventilation more
efficient.
Dead space
washout
• Exceeds inspiratory
flow thus
eliminating nasal
resistance.
Reduce
inspiratory work
of breathing
• Warmed,
humidified gas has
been shown to
improve lung
compliance.
Improved lung
mechanics
• Attenuates the
energy and water
loss associated with
conditioning
inspiratory gas.
Decreases
metabolic work
• Flow generates
some positive
distending pressure,
It can be helpful in
lung recruitment.
Provision of mild
distending
pressure
• Ideal humidification
of the inspired gas
has been shown to
restore mucocilliary
function.

  • 29. Julius Comroe (1945) “The clinician must bear in mind that oxygen is a drug and must be used in accordance with well recognized pharmacologic principles; i.e., since it has certain toxic effects and is not completely harmless (as widely believed in clinical circles) it should be given only in the lowest dosage or concentration required by the particular patient.”
  • 30. • In preterm baby receiving O2, the saturation target should be 90-94% • To achieve this, suggested alarm limits should be 89-95%
  • 31. Respiratory Support General Principles A. The aims of respiratory support are to maintain adequate oxygenation and ventilation, to reduce respiratory work and to prevent lung injury. B. With mechanical ventilation, use small or normal tidal volumes and the lowest effective ventilator pressures. Both large tidal volumes and high pressures cause lung injury and inflammation, especially in preterm infants. C. PEEP is critical for maintenance of FRC. PEEP is the main factor that influences PAW, a major determinant of oxygenation.
  • 32. Adequacy of Respiratory Support • Comfortable baby • Minimal retraction, no grunt • Normal capillary refill, BP • Normal saturations: 87% - 93% • Normal ABG (PaO2 60-80, PaCO2 40-60, pH 7.35-7.45, BE±2)
  • 33. Modes of Respiratory Support Non Invasive • CPAP • NIV • HHHFNC Invasive • IMV/SIMV • HFOV
  • 34. The Best Ventilator: Least Lung Injury
  • 35. What’s the Target of Respiratory Support • Optimise Oxygenation and Ventilation • Correct V/Q mismatch • Comfortable Baby • Lung Recruitment • Avoid Lung Hyperinflation & Lung Injury
  • 36. Evidences of hyperinflation • Lung expansion > 6 ribs anteriorly or > 8 ribs posteriorly • Flattening of diaphragms • Increased lucency of lungs • Air under the heart or herniation of lung to other side • Ribs more horizontal
  • 39. HFOV
  • 40. Abnormal Gas Exchange • Hypoxemia can be due to: – hypoventilation – V/Q mismatch – shunt – diffusion impairments • Hypercarbia can be due to: – hypoventilation – V/Q mismatch
  • 41. CO2 elimination is determined by  Recruit maximal alveoli  Minimize alveolar dead space No collapse / over-distension  Minimize external dead space  Tidal volume  Reduce resistance & obstruction of airways  Expiratory time and rates
  • 42. • High CO2 - Cerebral Vasodilation--------------- risk of IVH • Low CO2 –Cerebral Vasoconstriction---------- risk of PVL
  • 43. Clinical assessment • Appearance – color, posture, comfort • Vitals – HR, RR, CRT,SaO2, NIBP, IBP, • Respiratory – RDS, effort, retractions, alae nasi, breath sounds, air entry, symmetry, ABG • Circulatory – HR, CFT, BP, UO • Abdomen- AG, feeds, orogastric tube, bowel sounds • Neurological- state, activity, tone, posture, pain relief
  • 44. CPAP • Application of continuous distending pressure through out the respiratory cycle in a spontaneously breathing infant
  • 45. CPAP machine • Bubble CPAP • Ventilator CPAP • Infant Flow Driver
  • 47. Indications of CPAP • Respiratory distress syndrome • Transient tachypnoea of newborn • Post Extubation • Apnea of prematurity • MAS • Pneumonia • Laryngo/ Tracheo/Broncho malacia • Spontaneously breathing • Haemodynamically stable • No upper airway anomalies • Not in severe respiratory failure
  • 48. • CPAP from birth in all babies at risk of RDS • System delivering CPAP is of little importance, however the interface should be short binasal prongs • CPAP start at 5-6cm H2O and then individualise depending on clinical condition, oxygenation and perfusion
  • 49. Contraindications of CPAP • Progressive respiratory failure and unable to maintain oxygenation, PaCO2 >60 mm Hg and/or pH 7.25 or less • Congenital malformations: congenital diaphragmatic hernia, tracheoesophageal fistula, choanal atresia, cleft palate, gastroschisis • Infants with severe cardiovascular instability (hypotension, poor ventricular function) • Neonates with poor or unstable respiratory drive (frequent apnea, bradycardia, and/or oxygenation desaturation) that is not improved by CPAP
  • 51. DEVICE ADVANTAGE DISADVANTAGE Ventilator CPAP • No need of a separate equipment •Can be easily switched over to Mechanical ventilation, if CPAP fails • Expensive • Standard flow of 5-8L/ min may be insufficient in the presence of high leak • Difficult to know if the set flow is sufficient or not (insufficient flow can lead to increased WOB) Bubble CPAP • Simple and inexpensive • Oscillations produced by continuous bubbling might contribute to gas exchange (akin to HFV) • Can identify large leaks at the nares (bubbling stops) • Flow has to be altered to ensure proper bubbling • It is difficult to detect high flow which can ead to over distension of the lungs Variable Flow Device • Maintains more uniform pressure •Might decrease the WOB • Recruits lung volume more effectively • Expensive • Requires more technical expertise
  • 52. Flow, PEEP and FiO2• PEEP – 5 cms – Chest recessions, air entry, CXR • FiO2 50% • Flow – 2 to 5 liters – Minimum to ensure continuous bubbling – High flow- check for leaks (open mouth) Rule of 5
  • 53. How do we know when to change CPAP pressure? • Clinical signs only – little research 1. Observe grunting / chest wall retraction – If obvious ? need more pressure 2. How much oxygen? – - high FiO2 ? Need more pressure 3. Observe the chest x-ray • - very granular ? Need more pressure – May need pressures > 5 cm H2O
  • 54. Methods of weaning preterm babies <30 weeks gestation off CPAP: a multicentre randomized controlled trial Stability criteria( all 8 criteria for > 12hrs) Criteria for failed Trial Off (at least 2 of Following)• CPAP 4-6cm H2O • O2 requirement < 25% and not increasing • RR < 60 • No significant chest recession ( sternal/diaphragmatic) • <3 episodes of self reverting apneas/bradycardia/desaturation s in 1hr for previous 6hrs • Avg SpO2 > 86% most of time or PaO2/TcPO2 >45mm Hg • Not currently treated for PDA/Sepsis • Tolerated time off CPAP during cares up to 15min • Increase work of breathing with RR> 75 • Increased apnoea/bradycardia/desaturat ions > 2 in 1 hr for previous 6hr period • Increase O2 requirement > 25% to maintain SpO2 >86% and/or PaO2/TcPO2 >45mm Hg • PH < 7.2 • PaCO2/ Tc PcO2 > 65 mm Hg • Major apnea/ bradycardia requiring Resuscitation Arch Dis Child Fetal Neonatal Ed July 2012 Vol 97 No 4
  • 55. When has CPAP failed? • Apnoea • Respiratory failure = PaCO2 rising >60 mmHg (pH<7.20) • Or FiO2 is rising above ??? 60% • Worsening of respiratory distress • Agitation not relieved by simple measures But only after you have checked – The prongs are in the nose – They are the right size – The nose has been cleared – Place baby prone – The mouth is closed – The neck slightly extended – You have tried higher pressures (?? ~ 10 cm H2O or more.)
  • 57. HHHFNC oxygen therapy: definition Optimally warmed and humidified respiratory gases delivered by nasal cannula at flow rates between 2 and 8 L/min.
  • 58. Mechanism of action • Reduce dead space making minute ventilation more efficient. Dead space washout • Exceeds inspiratory flow thus eliminating nasal resistance. Reduce inspiratory work of breathing • Warmed, humidified gas has been shown to improve lung compliance. Improved lung mechanics • Attenuates the energy and water loss associated with conditioning inspiratory gas. Decreases metabolic work • Flow generates some positive distending pressure, It can be helpful in lung recruitment. Provision of mild distending pressure • Ideal humidification of the inspired gas has been shown to restore mucocilliary function. Improve secretion mobilization
  • 59. Clinical use of HHHFNC As a mode of weaning from ventilation/NCPAP support Alternative to NCPAP in mild/moderate respiratory distress Treatment or prevention of apnoea of prematurity Babies with nasal trauma from NCPAP Infants with Chronic Lung Disease Supportive growth optimisation???
