6. WHY
• Intubation is single major preventable factor contributing to BPD
• Even a single positive pressure breath can initiate biotrauma
/baro/volutrauma
7. • CPAP does not consistently improve ventilation and
does not work in infants with poor respiratory effort
• 46-60% of babies with RDS may fail CPAP and
25-40% of intubated LBW babies fail extubation to
CPAP)
• Invasive ventilation causes baro/volutrauma, atelecto-
trauma along with bio-trauma resulting in ventilator
induced lung injury( VILI).
8. • In an effort to support ventilation and avoid need for
invasive support the use of intermittent positive
pressure ventilation via nasal devices is being done .
•positive pressure cycle delivered on top of
continuous distending pressure by nasal route
16. SET UP
• PRESSURE GENERATOR: Positive pressure in the circuit
Continous / variable flow
• GAS SOURCE: continuous supply of warm humidified/ blended gases
• PATIENT INTERFACE/DELIVERY SYSTEM
17. Pressure generator
• Ventilator -exp flow valve, OR cont airflow in opp direction to exp
limb
• Bubble CPAP - due to stochastic resonance
• IFD( variable flow devices)- by adjusting flow
18. BASED ON FLOW
CF
• Vary press by mechanism other
than flow variation
• Expiratory limb not open to
atmosphere
VF (IFD)
• Desired pressure by varying flow
• Open( by venturi effect can
entrain additional flow)
20. PI-NASAL PRONGS
• HUDSON
• F&P
• ARGYLE
• Selection of size important
• Small/loose-leak
• Tight-pressure necrosis
• Bridge of prongs should not abutt columella/ there should be no blanching
21. PI- NASOPHARYNGEAL PRONG
• NASOP ET Tube
• NASOP prongs -Vygon
• ADV- easier to fix,
• DIS- inc resistance, leak, diffic nursing care
Cochrane 2008 - Better oxyg, waening in bi-nasal short prongs
compared to single prong nasop CPAP
Devices and pressure sources for administration of nasal continuous positive airway
pressure (NCPAP) in preterm neonates. Cochrane Database Syst Rev. 2008
23. • b/w Argyle and hudson - equal in pressure gen
• But argyle difficult to maintain & nasal hyperemia more
• Hudson prongs easily avail and widely used in our set up.
29. INITIAL SETTINGS
• Depend on condition for which started
• For respiratory distress scores can be useful
30. Initial pressures for RDS
• 7 vs 5
• No diff in need for MV in first week
• Acta Paediatr. 2016 Aug;105(8):Initiating nasal continuous positive
airway pressure in preterm neonates at 5 cm as against 7 cm did not
decrease the need for mechanical ventilation.
31.
32. • When to increase-grunting /retrac/<6 spaces
• When to decrease-> 8 spaces/flat diaph
To increase/dec pressure
• Bubble CPAP –Inc or Dec depth of expiratory limb in bubble chamber
• Indigenous- increasing /dec water level
33. Before considering failure ensure
• Airway patency( secretions /neck flexed)
• Surf given for RDS
• Correct size prongs in position
• Baby is not fighting
41. • Bubble generation depends on flow, leaks in circuit/airway
• Should be seen both during insp and exp
Seal the end of prongs
No bubbling ---circuit problem – check from wall to end
Present- look for leak(mouth)
suspect air leaks
43. PRONGS WONT STAY IN PLACE
• Correct size
• Hat snugly fit or not – loose hat allows movement of head to dislodge
prongs
• Tubings at correct angles to keep prongs in place
45. Nursing care
• Vitals
• Airway patency
• Nasal care/ prevention of injury
• OG in situ ( 90/30)
46. RECENT EVIDENCE
• J Perinatol. 2016 May;36 Suppl 1:S21-8. doi: 10.1038/jp.2016.29.
• Efficacy and safety of CPAP in low- and middle-income countries.
50% reduction in the need for mechanical ventilation following the
introduction of bubble CPAP
failed CPAP and required mechanical ventilation varied from 20 to 40%
(eight studies).
The incidence of air leaks varied from 0 to 7.2% .
48. COIN TRIAL( CPAP OR INTUBATION)
• no statistical difference – death or bronchopulmonary dysplasia at 36 weeks'
gestational age between infants who were assigned to receive early nasal CPAP
and those who were assigned to receive intubation.
• lower risk of the combined outcome of death or the need for oxygen therapy at
28 days and
• fewer days of assisted ventilation. (3 VS 4)
• increase in the number of pneumothoraxes. (9 % VS 3%) WITHOUT effect on
overall mortality, G3/4 IVH, PVL BPD
• Overall, starting early CPAP treatment in very preterm infants was not
detrimental.
49.
50. IFDAS
• Hypot –early surf use – CPAP or CPAP alone dec need for subseq
ventilat in PT
• CONCLUDED THAT BOTH cpap alone and with surf decreased need
for MV
51. SUPPORT(SUrfactant Positive pressure Pulse
Oximetry RCT)
hypoth--nasal CPAP started immediately after birth is an effective and safe
alternative to prophylactic or early surfactant administration and may be
superior.
CPAP and the limited-ventilation strategy, rather than intubation and
surfactant, resulted in less respiratory morbidity by 18 to 22 months’
corrected age
A follow-up study at 18 to 22 months’ corrected age showed that death or
neurodevelopmental impairment occurred in 28% of the infants in the CPAP
group compared with 30% of those in the surfactant/ventilation group (RR:
0.93; 95% CI: 0.78–1.10; P = .38).NOT SIG CLINICALLY
52. AAP
• Respiratory Support in Preterm Infants at Birth
COMMITTEE ON FETUS AND NEWBORN 2014
• early CPAP with subsequent selective surfactant I extreme PT- lower rates
BPD/death compared with treatment with prophylactic or early surfactant
therapy (Level of Evidence: 1).
• treated with early CPAP alone -not at increased risk of adverse outcomes if
treatment with surfactant is delayed or not given
• Early initiation of CPAP may lead to a reduction in duration of mechanical
ventilation and postnatal corticosteroid therapy
53. Cochrane 2015
• In preterm infants with respiratory distress, the application of CDP as
CPAP or CNP is associated with reduced respiratory failure and
mortality and an increased rate of pneumothorax.
• Cochrane Database Syst Rev. 2015 Jul 4;(7):CD00227
• Continuous distending pressure for respiratory distress in preterm infants.
first clinical use –Gregory 1971. via endotracheal tube or a head box in preterm with RDS
Kattwinkel --use of nasal prongs to provide CPAP
next decade -fell out of favor ---advent of newer modes of ventilation (HFV) and the perceived complications of CPAP (such as air leak).
However, reports of significantly lower incidence of chronic lung disease (CLD) from Columbia University unit that used more CPAP (Hudson prongs) as compared to other North American Centers have led to a resurgence of interest in CPAP over the past 15 years.
WHICH SIZE ET IS PERFECT ?—
Same size as for intubation or smaller
AOP- for persistant apnoeas after adeq methyl xanthine therapy
RDS- to maintain pa02>50, no retractions / 6-8 post rib spaces
Silvermann- GFR3 >6 NEED FOR MV silvermann difficult to interpret with prongs in situ as flaring component cannot be assessed
Downe GRACE – difficult without blender to assess all components
Pressure and fio2 go hand in hand 5- 50% /7-70%
Acts as pof off valve , usually not recommended
Tone of upper esop sphincter and GEJ >usual CPAP pressures – so air pref goes in airways
