Abstract
Increasing evidence supports specific approaches to liberate patients from invasive ventilation including the use of liberation protocols, inspiratory assistance during spontaneous breathing trials (SBTs), early extubation of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease to noninvasive ventilation, and prophylactic use of noninvasive support strategies after extubation. Additional research is needed to elucidate the best criteria to identify patients who are ready to undergo an SBT and to inform optimal screening frequency, the best SBT technique and duration, extubation assessments, and extubation decision-making. Additional clarity is also needed regarding the optimal timing to measure and report extubation success.

Yang T, Ma Y, Chen X, Yang Q, Pei J, Zhang Z, Qian X, Wang Y, Fan X, Han L. Effect of different noninvasive ventilation interfaces on the prevention of facial pressure injury: A network meta-analysis. Intensive Crit Care Nurs 2024; 81:103585. [PMID: 37977002 DOI: 10.1016/j.iccn.2023.103585] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2023] [Revised: 10/28/2023] [Accepted: 11/01/2023] [Indexed: 11/19/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the effect of different noninvasive ventilation interfaces on preventing the facial pressure injury. METHODS This network meta-analysis was conducted following the PRISMA reporting guidelines. Seven electronic databases were systematically searched for randomised controlled trials about the comparative effectiveness of different interfaces in preventing facial pressure injury with noninvasive ventilation in adults and newborns from inception to June 2023. The acronym of PICOS was used and the keywords as well as inclusion/exclusion criteria were determined. Study selection and data extraction were performed by two independent reviewers. The Cochrane risk of bias assessment tool was used to assess the methodological quality. RESULTS A total of 78 randomised controlled trials involving 7,291 patients were included. The results of network meta-analysis showed that the effectiveness of the eight noninvasive ventilation interfaces on the prevention of facial pressure injury was in the order of: nasal cannula > full-face mask > rotation of nasal mask with nasal prongs > helmet > nasal mask > oronasal mask > nasal prongs > face mask. The use of full-face mask in adults and nasal cannula in newborns had the best effect on preventing the incidence of facial pressure injury. CONCLUSIONS The use of full-face mask in adults and nasal cannula in newborns had the most clinical advantage in preventing the incidence of facial pressure injury and were worthy promoting in clinical practice. IMPLICATIONS FOR CLINICAL PRACTICE This study provides a certain theoretical basis for the selection of appropriate interface for patients with noninvasive ventilation. Clinical practitioners should choose the appropriate interfaces based on the patient's specific condition to reduce the incidence of facial pressure injury, enhance patient comfort, and improve the effectiveness of respiratory therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is an argument whether the delayed intubation aggravate the respiratory failure in Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). We aimed to investigate the effect of high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) failure before mechanical ventilation on clinical outcomes in mechanically ventilated patients with COVID-19. METHODS This retrospective cohort study included mechanically ventilated patients who were diagnosed with COVID-19 and admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) between February 2020 and December 2021 at Asan Medical Center. The patients were divided into HFNC failure (HFNC-F) and mechanical ventilation (MV) groups according to the use of HFNC before MV. The primary outcome of this study was to compare the worst values of ventilator parameters from day 1 to day 3 after mechanical ventilation between the two groups. RESULTS Overall, 158 mechanically ventilated patients with COVID-19 were included in this study: 107 patients (67.7%) in the HFNC-F group and 51 (32.3%) in the MV group. The two groups had similar profiles of ventilator parameter from day 1 to day 3 after mechanical ventilation, except of dynamic compliance on day 3 (28.38 mL/cmH2O in MV vs. 30.67 mL/H2O in HFNC-F, p = 0.032). In addition, the HFNC-F group (5.6%) had a lower rate of ECMO at 28 days than the MV group (17.6%), even after adjustment (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.30; 95% confidence interval, 0.11-0.83; p = 0.045). CONCLUSIONS Among mechanically ventilated COVID-19 patients, HFNC failure before mechanical ventilation was not associated with deterioration of respiratory failure.

Abstract
Systematic Reviews and Randomized clinical trials have shown that the use of noninvasive ventilation (NIV) compared to invasive mechanical ventilation reduces the risk of bronchopulmonary dysplasia and or mortality. Most commonly used NIV modes include nasal continuous positive airway pressure, bi-phasic modes, such as, bi-level positive airway pressure, nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation, high flow nasal cannula, noninvasive neurally adjusted ventilatory assist, and nasal high frequency ventilation are discussed in this review.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is an effective treatment for chronic respiratory failure (CRF). Patient-centered outcomes need to be evaluated regularly and the S3-NIV questionnaire seems an applicable tool. We translated this short, self-administered questionnaire into a Dutch version and tested its construct validity and reliability. METHODS An observational study was conducted, including 127 stable long-term NIV users with CRF or complex sleep related breathing disorders due to different underlying diseases: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (25%), slowly progressive neuromuscular disorders (35%), rapidly progressive neuromuscular disorders (12%) and 'other disorders' (28%) including complex sleep apnea and obesity hypoventilation syndrome. Construct validity and reliability were tested. RESULTS The Dutch version of the questionnaire was obtained after a translation and back-translation process. Internal consistency of the total score was good (Cronbach's α coefficient of 0.78) as well as for the 'respiratory symptoms' subdomain and the 'sleep and side effects' subdomain (Cronbach's α coefficient of 0.78 and 0.69, respectively). The reproducibility was excellent with an intraclass correlation of 0.89 (95% CI 0.87-0.93). Construct validity was good for the 'respiratory symptoms' subdomain. CONCLUSION The Dutch S3-NIV questionnaire is a reliable and valid tool to evaluate symptoms, sleep, and NIV related side effects in long-term NIV users.

Abstract
Background Using bilateral short nasal prongs as an interface for noninvasive respiratory support is challenging, and it is associated with nasal injury. We aimed to compare RAM cannula with nasal prongs in delivering noninvasive ventilation to newborn infants. Methods This is a single-center randomized trial (trial registry: ISRCTN10561691). The setting involves a tertiary neonatal unit with a capacity of 30 beds and more than 13 years of experience in neonatal noninvasive ventilation. We included 50 infants born at ≥ 32 weeks of gestation, who had respiratory distress at birth. We excluded those with major congenital anomalies and those who required intubation in the delivery room. Primary outcomes were intubation rate and use of noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation (NIPPV); other outcomes included air leak and nasal injury rate. The infants were assigned using randomly generated numbers into bi-nasal prong and RAM canula groups in a 1:1 ratio. Results Two and four babies in the RAM and prong groups, respectively, were upgraded to NIPPV (P = 0.600). One versus no baby in the RAM vs. prong groups was intubated (P = 1.000). Newborns in the prong group required oxygen support for a longer period (mean duration: 154.6 ± 255.2 h) than those in the RAM group (40.7 ± 72.6 h, P = 0.030). None of the patients in the RAM group had traumatic nasal injury compared to five babies in the prong group (P = 0.050). Four babies in our study developed air leaks, with two in each group. Conclusions The use of RAM cannula in delivering noninvasive ventilation to newborns ≥ 32 weeks of age did not affect the noninvasive ventilation failure rate or incidence of air leak. The use was associated with a shorter duration of respiratory support and a reduced risk of nasal septal injury.

Abstract
Introduction Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) is recognized as an efficient treatment for patients with acute respiratory failure (ARF) in emergency department (ED). This study aimed to develop a scoring system for predicting successful weaning from NIPPV in patients with ARF. Methods In this retrospective cohort study patients with ARF who received NIPPV in the ED of Ramathibodi Hospital, Thailand, between January 2020 and March 2022 were evaluated. Factors associated with weaning from NIPPV were recorded and compared between cases with and without successful weaning from NIPPV. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to develop a predictive model for weaning from NIPPV in ED. Results A total of 494 eligible patients were treated with NIPPV of whom 203(41.1%) were successfully weaned during the study period. Based on the multivariate analysis the successful NIPPV weaning (SNOW) score was designed with six factors before discontinuation: respiratory rate, heart rate ≤ 100 bpm, systolic blood pressure ≥ 100 mmHg, arterial pH≥ 7.35, arterial PaCO2, and arterial lactate. The scores were classified into three groups: low, moderate, and high. A score of >14.5 points suggested a high probability of successful weaning from NIPPV with a positive likelihood ratio of 3.58 (95%CI: 2.56-4.99; p < 0.001). The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of the model in predicting successful weaning was 0.79 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.75-0.83). Conclusion It seems that the SNOW score could be considered as a helpful tool for predicting successful weaning from NIPPV in ED patients with ARF. A high predictive score, particularly one that exceeds 14.5, strongly suggests a high likelihood of successful weaning from NIPPV.

Abstract
Global pandemic due to COVID-19 has increased the interest for ventilators´ use worldwide. New devices have been developed and older ones have undergone a renewed interest, but we lack robust evidence about performance of each ventilator to match appropriate device to a given patient and care environment. The aim of this bench study was to investigate the performance of six devices for noninvasive ventilation, and to compare them in terms of volume delivered, trigger response, pressurization capacity and synchronization in volume assisted controlled and pressure support ventilation. All ventilators were tested under thirty-six experimental conditions by using the lung model ASL5000® (IngMar Medical, Pittsburgh, PA). Two leak levels, two muscle inspiratory efforts and three mechanical patterns were combined for simulation. Trigger function was assessed by measurement of trigger-delay time. Pressurization capacity was evaluated as area under the pressure-time curve over the first 500 ms after inspiratory effort onset. Synchronization was evaluated by the asynchrony index and by incidence and type of asynchronies in each condition. All ventilators showed a good performance, even if pressurization capacity was worse than expected. Leak level did not affect their function. Differences were found during low muscle effort and obstructive pattern. In general, Philips Trilogy Evo/EV300 and Hamilton C3 showed the best results. NIV devices successfully compensate air leaks but still underperform with low muscle effort and obstructive lungs. Clinicians´ must have a clear understanding of the goals of NIV both for devices´ choice and set main parameters to achieve therapy success.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Sleep quality is influenced by multiple factors. Slow-wave sleep and REM sleep play a key role in homeostasis and are useful indicators of sleep quality. Studies indicate that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in the supine position correlates with anatomical changes that exacerbate respiratory events and influence the effectiveness of ventilation therapy. This study aimed to evaluate the correlation of body posture with polysomnographic data and adherence of patients using continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). MATERIAL AND METHODS This was a retrospective study of patients with OSA who had polysomnography in Rainha Santa Isabel Hospital's sleep laboratory in Torres Novas, Portugal, and met all the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Sociodemographic, polysomnographic, and ventilation therapy variables were collected from that sleep laboratory database between 2015 and 2019. RESULTS In 30 patients with OSA, residual apnea-hypopnea index (AHIr) and arousal index were lower in the non-supine position compared to the supine position (p value 0.005 and 0.009 respectively). As measures of sleep quality, total sleep time in SWS and REM sleep were greater in the non-supine position compared to the supine position (p value of 0.002 and 0.010 respectively). CONCLUSION The findings suggest that a supine position significantly impairs sleep quality mainly by increasing the number of respiratory events and associated sleep fragmentation. The findings also suggest that the difference in AHIr between supine and non-supine positions may contribute to non-adherence with CPAP in patients with OSA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Multiple devices are available for noninvasive oxygenation support, including non-rebreather oxygen mask (O2-mask), high-flow oxygen through nasal cannula (HFNC), continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), mask noninvasive ventilation (Mask-NIV) and helmet NIV (Helmet-NIV). As tidal volume is a key determinant of efficacy and safety during ventilatory support, we assessed whether it was influenced by the type of noninvasive oxygenation device. METHODS A bench study using a manikin with a realistic face connected to a lung simulator was performed. Six conditions were assessed: no device, O2-mask, HFNC, CPAP, Mask-NIV and Helmet-NIV. Three respiratory mechanics were simulated (normal, obstructive, restrictive), at three simulated efforts (low, moderate, respiratory distress). Flow was recorded at the lung simulator inlet and mouth pressure into the manikin mouth. The same devices were evaluated on healthy volunteers with tidal volume assessed by electrical impedance tomography (EIT). RESULTS Tidal volume was significantly influenced by oxygenation devices in bench model. As compared to O2-mask, HFNC and CPAP delivered significantly lower tidal volumes (440 ± 352 mL, 414 ± 333 mL and 377 ± 297 mL, respectively), while Mask-NIV or Helmet-NIV were associated with significantly higher tidal volumes (690 ± 321 mL and 652 ± 366 mL, respectively). Tidal volume was strongly correlated with the specific effect of each device on mouth pressure during inspiration: HFNC and CPAP were characterized by a negative PTPmouth (- 0.3 [- 0.8 to - 0.2] and - 0.7 [- 2.2 to - 0.5] cmH2O.sec/cycle, respectively), while Helmet-NIV and Mask-NIV were associated with a positive PTPmouth (4.5 [4.1-4.6] and 6.1 [5.9-7.1] cmH2O.sec/cycle, respectively). Tidal volume was also significantly influenced by oxygenation devices in healthy volunteers, with similar tidal volumes between O2-mask and CPAP (644 [571-764] and 648 [586-770] mL) but higher with HFNC, Mask-NIV and Helmet-NIV (819 [609-918], 1110 [661-1305] and 1086 [833-1243] mL). CONCLUSIONS Tidal volume is significantly influenced by noninvasive oxygenation support devices, with a strong correlation with the pressure variation generated into the mouth during inspiration. NIV was associated with the highest tidal volumes and CPAP with the lowest ones. Clinical studies are needed to clarify the clinical implications of these effects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a genetic disorder that may result in neuromuscular weakness and respiratory insufficiency. Gene replacement therapy has changed the trajectory of this condition, but long-term outcomes related to sleep disordered breathing are not known. METHODS This was a retrospective review of infants with SMA identified via newborn screening who subsequently received onasemnogene abeparvovec at the Hospital for Sick Children (Ontario, Canada). Polysomnograms were conducted at the time of confirmed diagnosis as well as regularly thereafter. RESULTS Eleven children (4 female) were identified via newborn screen (7 with 2 copies of the SMN2 gene and 4 with 3 copies of the SMN2 gene) and received onasemnogene abeparvovec at a median age of 3.6 weeks. All eleven infants met criteria for sleep disordered breathing based on their first completed polysomnograms but improved over time. Three infants required respiratory technology, including a premature infant who was prescribed nocturnal supplemental oxygen therapy for central sleep apnea and two symptomatic infants with neuromuscular weakness who required nocturnal noninvasive ventilation. We did not find a correlation between motor scores and polysomnogram parameters. CONCLUSION Children treated with onasemnogene abeparvovec have reduced sleep disordered breathing over time. Polysomnograms revealed abnormal parameters in all children, but the clinical significance of these findings was unclear for children who were asymptomatic for sleep disordered breathing or neuromuscular weakness. These results highlight the need to evaluate both motor scores and respiratory symptoms to ensure a holistic evaluation of clinical status.

Abstract
Management of COVID-19 patients experiencing persisting respiratory failure despite corticosteroids remains challenging. Data on high-dose intravenous anakinra (HD-ANK) in this context are lacking. We aimed to investigate the impact of HD-ANK on mortality in COVID-19 patients progressing to non-invasive ventilation (NIV) while receiving corticosteroids. We retrospectively analyzed the impact of HD-ANK on 28-day mortality in individuals hospitalized with COVID-19 necessitating NIV after corticosteroid initiation. A total of 256 patients were identified: 146 received standard-of-care only (SOC), and 110 received HD-ANK+SOC. The groups were well-balanced at baseline. In-hospital mortality at 28 days did not differ between the two groups. HD-ANK is not beneficial in patients with severe COVID-19 deteriorating despite corticosteroids.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Health problems in neonates with gestational age (GA) ≥ 32 weeks remain a major medical concern. Respiratory distress (RD) is one of the common reasons for admission of neonates with GA ≥ 32 weeks. Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) represents a crucial approach to treat RD, and currently, the most used NIV modes in neonatal intensive care unit include high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC), continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), and nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation. Although extensive evidence supports the use of NIPPV in neonates with a GA < 32 weeks, limited data exist regarding its effectiveness in neonates with GA ≥ 32 weeks. Therefore, the aim of this study is to compare the clinical efficacy of HFNC, CPAP, and NIPPV as primary NIV in neonates with GA ≥ 32 weeks who experience RD. METHODS This trial is designed as an assessor-blinded, three-arm, multi-center, parallel, randomized controlled trial, conducted in neonates ≥ 32 weeks' GA requiring primary NIV in the first 24 h of life. The neonates will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: HFNC, CPAP or NIPPV group. The effectiveness, safety and comfort of NIV will be evaluated. The primary outcome is the occurrence of treatment failure within 72 h after enrollment. Secondary outcomes include death before discharge, surfactant treatment within 72 h after randomization, duration of both noninvasive and invasive mechanical ventilation, duration of oxygen therapy, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, time to achieve full enteral nutrition, necrotizing enterocolitis, duration of admission, cost of admission, air leak syndrome, nasal trauma, and comfort score. DISCUSSION Currently, there is a paucity of data regarding the utilization of NIPPV in neonates with GA ≥ 32 weeks. This study will provide clinical evidence for the development of respiratory treatment strategies in neonates at GA ≥ 32 weeks with RD, with the aim of minimizing the incidence of tracheal intubation and reducing the complications associated with NIV.

[PMID: 37945441 DOI: 10.1016/j.advms.2023.10.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2023] [Revised: 08/27/2023] [Accepted: 10/23/2023] [Indexed: 11/12/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) procedure is a useful tool in the diagnosis of patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) and is helpful in clinical research of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. Still little is known about predictors of poor BAL salvage. The trial aims to find the most efficient way to improve BAL recovery. MATERIAL AND METHODS Our study is a prospective, multicenter, international, two-arm randomized controlled trial. We aim to obtain BAL samples from a total number of 300 patients: 150 with ILD and 150 with COPD to achieve a statistical power of 80 %. Patients with initial BAL salvage <60 % will be randomized into the non-invasive ventilation (NIV) or continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) arm. The NIV and CPAP will be set according to the study protocol. The influence on BAL salvage will be assessed in terms of BAL volume and content. Multivariable analysis of the additional test results to determine predictors for low BAL recovery will be conducted. In a study subgroup of approximately 20 patients per specific disease, a metabolomic assessment of exhaled air condensate will be performed. All procedures will be assessed in terms of the patient's safety. The trial was registered on clinicaltrials.gov (ID# NCT05631132). Interested experienced centers are invited to join the research group by writing to the corresponding author. CONCLUSION The results of our prospective study will address the currently unsolved problem of how to increase BAL salvage in patients with pulmonary diseases without increasing the risk of respiratory failure exacerbation.

Abstract
Chronic respiratory insufficiency is common in patients with myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) and can be treated with noninvasive home mechanical ventilation (HMV). HMV is not always tolerated well resulting in low treatment adherence. We aimed to analyze if baseline respiratory characteristics such as pulmonary function, level of pCO2 and presence of sleep apnea are associated with HMV treatment adherence in DM1 patients. Pulmonary function testing, polysomnography and blood gas measurement data of DM1 patients were retrospectively collected. Initiation of HMV and treatment adherence after one year was documented. Patients with low treatment adherence (average daily use of HMV <5 h) were grouped with patients that discontinued HMV and compared with patients with high treatment adherence (average daily use of HMV >5 h). HMV was initiated in 101 patients. After one year, 58 patients had low treatment adherence. There were no differences between the low and high treatment adherence group regarding the respiratory characteristics. None of the included predictors (gender, age, body mass index, cytosine-thymine-guanine repeat length, FVC, daytime pCO2, bicarbonate, nighttime pCO2, nighttime base excess, apnea-hypopnea index and mean saturation during sleep) was able to significantly predict high treatment adherence. In conclusion, the respiratory characteristics are not associated with treatment adherence with HMV in DM1 patients and cannot be used to identify patients at risk for low HMV treatment adherence.

Abstract
Patients with burns to the head and neck may be difficult to intubate or ventilate via facemask. Furthermore, post-burn scarring and microstomia may reduce the success of rescue supraglottic airway placement. While awake tracheal intubation using a flexible intubation scope is considered the optimal technique for these patients, it may not always be feasible in the pediatric population. We report a case of successful management of a difficult airway in a child with extensive post-burn head and neck deformity using a noninvasive positive pressure system to aid with inhalational induction and deep sedation during intubation using a flexible scope.

Abstract
Helmet continuous positive airway pressure is a simple, noninvasive respiratory support strategy to treat several forms of acute respiratory failure, such as cardiogenic pulmonary edema and pneumonia. Recently, it has been largely used worldwide during the COVID-19 pandemic. Given the increased use of helmet continuous positive airway pressure in the emergency department, we aimed to provide an updated practical guide for nurses and clinicians based on the latest available evidence. We focus our attention on how to set the respiratory circuit. Moreover, we discuss the interactions between flow generators, filters, and positive end-expiratory pressure valves and the consequences regarding the delivered gas flow, fraction of inspired oxygen, positive end-expiratory pressure, and noise level.

Abstract
PURPOSE Bronchofiberoscopy (FOB) is a procedure routinely performed for: lung cancer, obstruction, interstitial diseases, foreign bodies' removal, airway clearance, and hemoptysis. It causes acute airway narrowing leading to respiratory and cardiovascular stress. Due to increasing number of ill patients with respiratory failure (RF), conventional oxygen therapy (COT) is frequently insufficient to assure accurate oxygenation and prevent RF in patients requiring FOB. In this clinical scenario, patients may be intubated and supported with invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) with the specific aim of allowing a safe FOB. However, this invasive strategy is associated with an increased risk of IMV-associated complications. MATERIALS AND METHODS Our study is a planned prospective multicenter three-arm randomized controlled trial (RCT). The target number of 300 patients was calculated based on the intubation risk in RF patients, which is 0.2-2%. The patients will be assigned to each arm based on Horowitz index. In each arm, the patients will be randomly assigned to one out of two dedicated respiratory support methods in each group i.e. COT/high flow nasal cannula (HFNC), HFNC/non-invasive ventilation (NIV) and NIV/IMV. In the manuscript the current state of art in the area of respiratory support is discussed. We have underlined knowledge gaps in medical evidence which we are planning to reveal with our results. RESULTS The results of our study are clinically crucial, because they address current gaps concerning COT/HFNC/NIV/IMV. CONCLUSION The expected findings of this study would allow for careful selection of respiratory support method to safely perform FOB in patients with hypoxemic RF.

Abstract
Background The RAM cannula® consists of nasal prongs that can be used to administer oxygen, continuous, and bilevel positive airway pressure therapies. Studies have reported the efficacy and utility of the RAM cannula in inpatients requiring noninvasive ventilation (NIV); however, there is limited literature on the use of the RAM cannula to provide NIV in the outpatient setting. Objectives This study aimed to describe the clinical features and outcomes of children who used NIV via RAM cannula in the outpatient setting. Design Retrospective review. Methods We conducted a retrospective review of children treated with outpatient NIV via RAM cannula at our institution between January 2010 and March 2023. The analyzed data included age, diagnoses, indications for NIV, duration of RAM cannula use, complications, and outcomes at 6 months. Results We identified 20 patients who used outpatient NIV via RAM cannula during the study period. The median age at initiation of NIV via RAM cannula was 5.8 months (IQR 2.4-9.9 months). Indications for NIV included sleep-related hypoventilation (15%), restrictive lung disease (25%), obstructive sleep apnea (45%), and chronic respiratory failure (50%), with 6 patients having ⩾2 indications for NIV. RAM cannula was utilized for inability to tolerate conventional NIV interfaces (80%), to alleviate dyspnea (60%), and to avoid tracheostomy (55%). Patients used NIV via RAM cannula for a median duration of 7.7 months (IQR 3.7-20.6 months). Patient outcomes included ongoing usage of RAM cannula (55%), changing to conventional NIV interfaces (15%) or oxygen (10%), weaning off respiratory support (5%), and death (15%). There were no complications related to using the RAM cannula. Conclusion Our study demonstrates the utility of outpatient NIV via RAM cannula in children with a variety of diagnoses until clinical improvement or tolerance of conventional interfaces, and for avoidance of tracheostomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the last decades, noninvasive ventilation (NIV) has been increasingly used to support patients with hypercapnic and hypoxemic acute respiratory failure. Pressure ulcers are a frequently observed NIV-related adverse effect, directly related to interface type and exposure time. Switching to a different interface has been proposed as a solution to improve patient comfort. However, large studies investigating the benefit of this strategy are not available. Thus, the aim of the ROTAtional-USE of interface STUDY (ROTA-USE STUDY) is to investigate whether a protocolized rotational use of interfaces during NIV is effective in reducing the incidence of pressure ulcers. METHODS The ROTA-USE STUDY is a pragmatic, parallel arm, open-label, multicenter, spontaneous, non-profit, randomized controlled trial requiring non-significant risk medical devices, with the aim to determine whether a rotational strategy of NIV interfaces is associated with a lower incidence of pressure ulcers compared to the standard of care. In the intervention group, NIV mask will be randomly chosen and rotated every 6 h. In the control group, mask will be chosen according to the standard of care of the participating centers and changed in case of discomfort or in the presence of new pressure sores. In both groups, the skin underneath the mask will be inspected every 12 h for any possible damage by blinded assessors. The primary outcome is the proportion of patients developing new pressure sores at 36 h from randomization. The secondary outcomes are (i) onset of pressure sores measured at different time points, i.e., 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, and 96 h; (ii) number and stage of pressure sores and comfort measured at 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, and 96 h; and (iii) the economic impact of the protocolized rotational use of interfaces. A sample size of 239 subjects per group (intervention and control) is estimated to detect a 10% absolute difference in the proportion of patients developing pressure sores at 36 h. DISCUSSION The development of pressure ulcers is a common side effect of NIV that negatively affects the patients' comfort and tolerance, often leading to NIV failure and adverse outcomes. The ROTA-USE STUDY will determine whether a protocolized rotational approach can reduce the incidence, number, and severity of pressure ulcers in NIV-treated patients.

Abstract
AIM This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of disposable continuous positive airway pressure (DCPAP) system in decreasing the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) levels in patients with acute hypercapnic respiratory failure (AHRF). MATERIAL AND METHODS This retrospective observational study included patients treated in the emergency department (ED) with respiratory distress and PaCO2 > 45 mmHg. Patients were divided into two groups (DCPAP and non-DCPAP), depending on the treatment received to treat AHRF. The difference between the baseline PaCO2 levels in the first blood gas obtained from patients at the time of admission and the follow-up blood gas after treatment. Then, the calculated PaCO2 decrease was divided by the time elapsed to obtain the rate of decrease in PaCO2 levels in mmHg/min. The statistical analyses were performed using SPSS version 18.0 software. A p value of < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS A total of 61 patients were included in the study, 31 patients in the DCPAP group and 30 patients in the non-DCPAP group. The mean age of the patients was 74.03 ± 10.04, and the male/female was 23/38. The study demonstrated a statistically significant difference between the DCPAP and non-DCPAP groups in terms of PaCO2 decreasing rate, and it was found to be twice higher in the DCPAP group (0.11 ± 0.07 mmHg/min) than in the non-DCPAP group (0.05 ± 0.06 mmHg/min). CONCLUSION The study demonstrated that the treatment of AHRF patients with a DCPAP provides a faster decrease in PaCO2 levels in hypercapnic patients compared to standard medical therapy alone.

Abstract
Interprofessional teamwork plays a key role in the uptake of evidence-based interventions, such as noninvasive ventilation (NIV) for patients with exacerbated Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). We aimed to identify the shared cognitive tasks in interprofessional teams using NIV for patients with COPD exacerbation. We used a cognitive task analysis approach (CTA) to engage nurses, rapid response team members, respiratory therapists, and physicians involved in the use of NIV to treat patients with COPD exacerbation. Clinicians participated in a semi-structured interview (n = 21) that elicited cognitions needed to treat COPD exacerbation. Three shared cognitive tasks were identified: Complete a thorough assessment, Formulate a care plan, and Continuously monitor patient status. Findings attest to the importance of having access to up-to-date information and expertise necessary to make accurate clinical inferences for patient assessment. Shared understanding of the formulated care plan among all members of the care team was important to its execution. Continuous monitoring was crucial; however, this cognitive task relied on patient assessment skills and ongoing collaboration within the clinical care team. Application of NIV for patients with COPD exacerbation may require enhancing collaboration through nontechnical skills and interprofessional training.

Abstract
Background Concern exists that noninvasive ventilation (NIV) may promote ventilation-induced lung injury(VILI) and worsen outcome in acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF). Different individual ventilatory variables have been proposed to predict clinical outcomes, with inconsistent results.Mechanical power (MP), a measure of the energy transfer rate from the ventilator to the respiratory system during mechanical ventilation, might provide solutions for this issue in the framework of predictive, preventive and personalized medicine (PPPM). We explored (1) the impact of ventilator-delivered MP normalized to well-aerated lung (MPWAL) on physio-anatomical and clinical responses to NIV in COVID-19-related AHRF and (2) the effect of prone position(PP) on MPWAL. Methods We analyzed 216 noninvasively ventilated COVID-19 patients (108 patients receiving PP + NIV and 108 propensity score-matched patients receiving supine NIV) with moderate-to-severe(paO2/FiO2 ratio < 200) AHRF enrolled in the PRO-NIV controlled non-randomized study (ISRCTN23016116).Quantification of differentially aerated lung volumes by lung ultrasonography (LUS) was validated against CT scans. Respiratory parameters were hourly recorded, ABG were performed 1 h after each postural change. Time-weighed average values of ventilatory variables, including MPWAL, and gas exchange parameters (paO2/FiO2 ratio, dead space indices) were calculated for each ventilatory session. LUS and circulating biomarkers were assessed daily. Results Compared with supine position, PP was associated with a 34% MPWAL reduction, attributable largely to an absolute MP reduction and secondly to an enhanced lung reaeration.Patients receiving a high MPWAL during the 1st 24 h of NIV [MPWAL(day 1)] had higher 28-d NIV failure (HR = 4.33,95%CI:3.09 - 5.98) and death (HR = 5.17,95%CI: 3.01 - 7.35) risks than those receiving a low MPWAL(day 1).In Cox multivariate analyses, MPWAL(day 1) remained independently associated with 28-d NIV failure (HR = 1.68,95%CI:1.15-2.41) and death (HR = 1.69,95%CI:1.22-2.32).MPWAL(day 1) outperformed other power measures and ventilatory variables as predictor of 28-d NIV failure (AUROC = 0.89;95%CI:0.85-0.93) and death (AUROC = 0.89;95%CI:0.85-0.94).MPWAL(day 1) predicted also gas exchange, ultrasonographic and inflammatory biomarker responses, as markers of VILI, on linear multivariate analysis. Conclusions In the framework of PPPM, early bedside MPWAL calculation may provide added value to predict response to NIV and guide subsequent therapeutic choices i.e. prone position adoption during NIV or upgrading to invasive ventilation, to reduce hazardous MPWAL delivery, prevent VILI progression and improve clinical outcomes in COVID-19-related AHRF.

Abstract
Improvements in respiratory care have resulted in improved outcomes for preterm infants over the past three decades. To target the multifactorial nature of neonatal lung diseases, neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) should consider developing comprehensive respiratory quality improvement programs that address all drivers of neonatal respiratory disease. This article presents a potential framework for developing a quality improvement program to prevent bronchopulmonary dysplasia in the NICU. Drawing on available research and quality improvement reports, the authors discuss key components, measures, drivers, and interventions that should be considered when building a respiratory quality improvement program devoted to preventing and treating bronchopulmonary dysplasia.
