ABSTRACT

This study investigated the relationship between three respiratory support approaches on lung volume recruitment during the first 2 h of postnatal life in preterm lambs. We estimated changes in lung aeration, measuring respiratory resistance and reactance by oscillometry at 5 Hz. We also measured intratracheal pressure in subsets of lambs. The first main finding is that sustained inflation (SI) applied noninvasively (Mask SI; n = 7) or invasively [endotracheal tube (ETT) SI; n = 6] led to similar rapid lung volume recruitment (∼6 min). In contrast, Mask continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) without SI (n = 6) resuscitation took longer (∼30-45 min) to reach similar lung volume recruitment. The second main finding is that, in the first 15 min of postnatal life, the Mask CPAP without SI group closed their larynx during custom ventilator-driven expiration, leading to intratracheal positive end-expiratory pressure of ∼17 cmH2O (instead of 8 cmH2O provided by the ventilator). In contrast, the Mask SI group used the larynx to limit inspiratory pressure to ∼26 cmH2O (instead of 30 cmH2O provided by the ventilator). These different responses affected tidal volume, being larger in the Mask CPAP without SI group [8.4 mL/kg; 6.7-9.3 interquartile range (IQR)] compared to the Mask SI (5.0 mL/kg; 4.4-5.2 IQR) and ETT SI groups (3.3 mL/kg; 2.6-3.7 IQR). Distinct physiological responses suggest that spontaneous respiratory activity of the larynx of preterm lambs at birth can uncouple pressure applied by the ventilator to that applied to the lung, leading to unpredictable lung pressure and tidal volume delivery independently from the ventilator settings.NEW & NOTEWORTHY We compared invasive and noninvasive resuscitation on lambs at birth, including or not sustained inflation (SI). Lung volume recruitment was faster in those receiving SI. During noninvasive resuscitation, larynx modulation reduced tracheal pressure from that applied to the mask in lambs receiving SI, while it led to increased auto-positive end-expiratory pressure and very large tidal volumes in lambs not receiving SI. Our results highlight the need for individualizing pressures and monitoring tidal volumes during resuscitation at birth.

ABSTRACT

Objective To (1) compare physiologic changes during rigid bronchoscopy during spontaneous and mechanical ventilation and (2) evaluate the efficacy of a helium-oxygen (heliox) gas mixture as compared with room air during rigid bronchoscopy. Study Design Crossover animal study evaluating physiologic parameters during rigid bronchoscopy. Outcomes were compared with predicted computational fluid analysis. Setting Simulated ventilation via computational fluid dynamics analysis and term lambs undergoing rigid bronchoscopy. Methods Respiratory and physiologic outcomes were analyzed in a lamb model simulating bronchoscopy during foreign body aspiration to compare heliox with room air. The main outcome measures were blood oxygen saturation, heart rate, blood pressure, partial pressure of oxygen, and partial pressure of carbon dioxide. Computational fluid dynamics analysis was performed with SOLIDWORKS within a rigid pediatric bronchoscope during simulated ventilation comparing heliox with room air. Results For room air, lambs desaturated within 3 minutes during mechanical ventilation versus normal oxygen saturation during spontaneous ventilation ( P = .01). No improvement in respiratory outcomes was seen between heliox and room air during mechanical ventilation. Computational fluid dynamics analysis demonstrates increased turbulence within size 3.5 bronchoscopes when comparing heliox and room air. Meaningful comparisons could not be made due to the intolerance of the lambs to heliox in vivo. Conclusion During mechanical ventilation on room air, lambs desaturate more quickly during rigid bronchoscopy on settings that should be adequate. Heliox does not improve ventilation during rigid bronchoscopy.
