Duration of apnoea before start of backup ventilation during nCPAP in extremely preterm infants and time spent within the SpO2 target: a randomised cross-over study.
Objective: Central apnoea due to immaturity of the respiratory drive constitutes the main cause of frequent and prolonged desaturations in extremely preterm (EPT) infants <28 weeks. We investigated the impact of varying the duration of apnoea before backup ventilation (BUV) on the measures of oxygenation in EPT infants during nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) therapy.
Main outcome measures: The primary outcome was the time spent within a predefined oxygen saturation (SpO2) target (88%-95% or ≥88% with fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) =0.21) during start of BUV after 4 s of apnoea duration (AD 4) or 16 s of apnoea duration (AD 16) RESULTS: The study was successfully completed in 22 children (median gestational age 24+5 weeks, birth weight 628 g, postnatal age 48 days). Mean time spent within the SpO2 target didn't differ between AD 4 and AD 16 (66.9% vs 67.2%, p=0.88). There were no differences in the time below or above the SpO2 target, prolonged (>30 s, >60 s, >120 s) and severe (<80%, <70%) episodes of hypoxaemias and cerebral tissue oxygenation. Mean FiO2, mean airway pressure, transcutaneous carbon dioxide pressure, heart rate and respiratory frequency did not differ while the rate of BUV was significantly higher during AD 4.
Conclusion: Reducing the time of apnoea until start of BUV didn't improve the time spent within the SpO2 target in respiratory unstable EPT infants. Our data demand intensified efforts to specify these settings of non-invasive respiratory support that better achieve this important clinical goal.
期刊介绍:
Archives of Disease in Childhood is an international peer review journal that aims to keep paediatricians and others up to date with advances in the diagnosis and treatment of childhood diseases as well as advocacy issues such as child protection. It focuses on all aspects of child health and disease from the perinatal period (in the Fetal and Neonatal edition) through to adolescence. ADC includes original research reports, commentaries, reviews of clinical and policy issues, and evidence reports. Areas covered include: community child health, public health, epidemiology, acute paediatrics, advocacy, and ethics.
