Oscillatory mechanics in very preterm infants on continuous positive airway pressure support: reference values.
Pediatric Pulmonology 2022 November 24
OBJECTIVE: To create reference values for respiratory system resistance (Rrs) and reactance (Xrs) measured by the forced oscillation technique (FOT) in non-intubated very preterm infants.
DESIGN: Retrospective analysis of data collected as part of prospective observational studies in two centers.
SETTING: Tertiary neonatal intensive care units.
PATIENTS: Non-intubated infants below 32 weeks' gestation age who did not develop bronchopulmonary dysplasia.
INTERVENTIONS: We applied FOT using a mechanical ventilator (Fabian HFOi, Vyaire) that superimposed small-amplitude oscillations (10 Hz) on a continuous positive airway pressure of 3 and 5 cmH2 O. Measurements were performed during regular tidal breathing using a face mask.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: We analyzed 198 measurements performed between 7 postnatal days and 40 weeks postmenstrual age in 85 infants, with a median (Q1, Q3) GA of 30.43 (29.14, 31.18) weeks. Logarithmic transformations were applied to Rrs and Xrs, and the relationship between transformed impedance values and demographic factors was examined by backwards stepwise linear regression.
RESULTS: In univariable analysis, transformed Xrs was significantly associated with postmenstrual age (PMA), postnatal age, weight, and length, while Rrs was not. The best multivariable regression model estimating transformed Xrs (cmH2 O*s/L) at CPAP = 5 cmH2 O was: ln(50 - Xrs) = 4.892 - 0.021 x PMA (in weeks) - 0.017 x weight z-score (SEE = 0.053, R2 adjusted = 0.35). The mean (SD) Rrs at CPAP = 5 cmH2 O was 33.63 (5.28) cmH2 O*s/L.
CONCLUSION: We have established reference values for Rrs and Xrs at 10 Hz in non-intubated preterm neonates on continuous positive airway pressure support. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
