Objective. To assess volume guarantee (VG) ventilation combined with high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) strategy on PaCO2regulation in an experimental model of neonatal distress syndrome.Methods. Six 2-day-old piglets weighing  kg were used for this interventional experimental study. Animals were ventilated during physiologic lung conditions and after depletion of lung surfactant by bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL). The effect of HFOV combined with VG on PaCO2was evaluated at different high-frequency expired tidal volume (VThf) at constant frequency () and mean airway pressure (mPaw). Fluctuations of the pressure (ΔPhf) around the mPaw and PaCO2were analyzed before and after lung surfactant depletion.Results. PaCO2levels were inversely proportional to VThf. In the physiological lung condition, an increase in VThf caused a significant decrease in PaCO2and an increase in ΔPhf. After BAL, PaCO2did not change as compared with pre-BAL situation as the VThf remained constant by the ventilator.Conclusions. In this animal model, using HFOV combined with VG, changes in the VThf settings induced significant modifications in PaCO2. After changing the lung condition by depletion of surfactant, PaCO2remained unchanged, as the VThf setting was maintained constant by modifications in the ΔPhf done by the ventilator.

Viele Frühgeborene mit einem Atemnotsyndrom (engl. Respiratory Distress Syndrome, RDS) erhalten zunächst eine nicht invasive Atemunterstützung. Ein chinesisches Forscherteam untersuchte nun, welche Methode besser vor einem invasiven mechanischen Beatmungsbedarf schützte: Der nasale CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) oder die nasale HFOV (High-Frequency Oscillatory Ventilation).

Objective This study aimed to review the feasibility of nasal high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (NHFOV) in preventing reintubation in preterm infants Study Design This is a retrospective cohort study of all premature newborn infants placed on NHFOV in a single-center neonatal intensive care unit. Results Twenty-seven patients (birth weight: 765 ± 186 g, gestational age: 28 ± 2 weeks) were commenced on NHFOV on 32 occasions. NHFOV was used immediately postextubation as the primary mode of noninvasive ventilation (NIV; prophylaxis) in 10 of 32 occasions and as “rescue” (failure of NCPAP or biphasic CPAP) in 22 of 32 occasions. Treatment with NHFOV was successful in 22 occasions (69%) while on 10 occasions (31%) reintubation was required within 72 hours. In the rescue group, there was significant reduction in the mean (standard deviation [SD]) number of apneas (0.9 ± 1.07 vs. 0.3 ± 0.29, p < 0.005), but there were no significant changes in the PCO2 level (52 [ ±  9.8] vs. 52 [ ±  8.6] mm Hg, p = 0.8), or the FiO2 requirement (0.39 ± 0.19 vs. 0.33 ± 0.10, p = 0.055) before and after commencing NHFOV, respectively. Conclusion The use of NHFOV is feasible as a prophylactic or rescue mode of NIV following extubation and was associated with decrease in the number of apneas without significant changes in PCO2 or oxygen requirements. A well-designed randomized control trial is needed to determine the indications, clinical outcomes, and safety of this treatment modality. Key Points

Abstract This animal study was conducted in order to verify the effects of combining highfrequency oscillatory ventilation and prone positioning and the order of application of both methods on blood gas exchange in an experimental model of acute respiratory distress syndrome. Forty domestic pigs were used for the study. Saline solution washout was produced by bilateral lung lavage. The lavage process was repeated until adequate impairment of gas exchange (defined as PaO2 < 100 mmHg) 60 min following the last lavage was achieved. Subsequently, lung injury was established and each model was randomized to one of five groups, with differences in the type of mechanical ventilation used (conventional mechanical ventilation in accordance with the principles of protective lung ventilation or high-frequency oscillatory ventilation) and also in the positioning of the experimental model (supine position or mode changing prone and supine positions in a ratio 18:6 hours). The best oxygenation was achieved in the group prone position + high-frequency oscillatory ventilation. The most favorable combination in terms of carbon dioxide elimination is the high-frequency oscillatory ventilation + prone position. The best results in terms of oxygenation index value were obtained in the combination of a prone position with the high-frequency oscillatory ventilation and in the prone position. In conclusion, by using combinations of prone positioning and high-frequency oscillatory ventilation, one can achieve better blood gas parameters during acute respiratory distress syndrome.
