Apnea Of Prematurity

Objective The study aimed to systematically review and analyze the impact of nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) versus continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on apnea of prematurity (AOP) in preterm neonates. Study Design In this systematic review and meta-analysis, experimental studies enrolling preterm infants comparing NIPPV (synchronized, nonsynchronized, and bi-level) and CPAP (all types) were searched in multiple databases and screened for the assessment of AOP. Primary outcome was AOP frequency per hour (as defined by authors of included studies). Results Out of 4,980 articles identified, 18 studies were included with eight studies contributing to the primary outcome. All studies had a high risk of bias, with significant heterogeneity in definition and measurement of AOP. There was no difference in AOPs per hour between NIPPV versus CPAP (weighted mean difference = −0.19; 95% confidence interval [CI]: −0.76 to 0.37; eight studies, 456 patients). However, in a post hoc analysis evaluating the presence of any AOP (over varying time periods), the pooled odds ratio (OR) was lower with NIPPV (OR: 0.46; 95% CI: 0.32–0.67; 10 studies, 872 patients). Conclusion NIPPV was not associated with decrease in AOP frequency, although demonstrated lower odds of developing any AOP. However, definite recommendations cannot be made based on the quality of the published evidence. Key Points

Cyclic Changes

We have recently observed obstructive apneas during nasal intermittent positive-pressure ventilation (nIPPV) and suggested that they were due to hypocapnia-induced glottic closure. To confirm this hypothesis, we studied seven healthy subjects and submitted them to nIPPV while their glottis was continuously monitored through a fiber-optic bronchoscope. During wakefulness, we measured breath by breath the widest inspiratory angle formed by the vocal cords at the anterior commissure along with several other indexes. Mechanical ventilation was progressively increased up to 30 l/min. In the absence of diaphragmatic activity, increases in delivered minute ventilation resulted in progressive narrowing of the vocal cords, with an increase in inspiratory resistance and a progressive reduction in the percentage of the delivered tidal volume effectively reaching the lungs. Adding CO2 to the inspired gas led to partial widening of the glottis in two of three subjects. Moreover, activation of the diaphragmatic muscle was always associated with a significant inspiratory abduction of the vocal cords. Sporadically, complete adduction of the vocal cords was directly responsible for obstructive laryngeal apneas and cyclic changes in the glottic aperture resulted in waxing and waning of tidal volume. We conclude that in awake humans passive ventilation with nIPPV results in vocal cord adduction that depends partly on hypocapnia, but our results suggest that other factors may also influence glottic width.

AbstractForeign body aspiration is a very common problem in children and toddlers and still a serious and sometimes fatal condition. We are reporting on a 2-year-old white asthmatic male who choked on a chick pea and presented with subcutaneous emphysema, and on chest X-ray with an isolated pneumomediastinum but not pneumothorax. On review of the literature an isolated pneumomediastinum without pneumothorax was rarely reported. This presented a challenge in management mainly because of the technique that we had to use in order to undergo bronchoscopy and removal of the foreign body. Apnoeic diffusion oxygenation was used initially while the foreign body was removed piecemeal, and afterwards intermittent positive pressure ventilation was used. The child did very well, and his subcutaneous emphysema and pneumomediastinum remarkably improved immediately post surgery.
