Abstract
OBJECTIVE To systematically review: 1) peri-extubation settings; and 2) association between peri-extubation settings and outcomes in preterm neonates. STUDY DESIGN In this systematic review, studies were eligible if they reported patient-data on peri-extubation settings (objective 1) and/or evaluated peri-extubation levels in relation to clinical outcomes (objective 2). Data were meta-analyzed when appropriate using random-effects model. RESULTS Of 9681 titles, 376 full-texts were reviewed and 101 included. The pooled means of peri-extubation settings were summarized. For objective 2, three experimental studies were identified comparing post-extubation CPAP levels. Meta-analyses revealed lower odds for treatment failure [pooled OR 0.46 (95% CI 0.27-0.76); 3 studies, 255 participants] but not for re-intubation [pooled OR 0.66 (0.22-1.97); 3 studies, 255 participants] with higher vs. lower CPAP. CONCLUSIONS Summary of peri-extubation settings may guide clinicians in their own practices. Higher CPAP levels may reduce extubation failure, but more data on peri-extubation settings that optimize outcomes are needed.

Latremouille S, Bhuller M, Shalish W, Sant'Anna G. Cardiorespiratory measures shortly after extubation and extubation outcomes in extremely preterm infants. Pediatr Res 2022; 93:1687-1693. [PMID: 36057645 DOI: 10.1038/s41390-022-02284-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2022] [Revised: 08/05/2022] [Accepted: 08/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/09/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Nasal continuous positive airway pressure, nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation, and non-invasive neurally adjusted ventilatory assist are modes of non-invasive respiratory support. The objective was to investigate if cardiorespiratory measures performed shortly after extubation are associated with extubation outcomes and predictors of extubation success. METHODS Randomized crossover trial of infants with birth weight (BW) ≤ 1250 g undergoing their first extubation. Shortly after extubation, electrocardiogram and electrical activity of the diaphragm (Edi) were recorded during 40 min on each mode. Measures of heart rate variability (HRV), diaphragmatic activity (Edi area, breath area and amplitude), and respiratory variability (RV) were computed on each mode and compared between infants with extubation success or failure (reintubation ≤ 7 days). RESULTS Twenty-three extremely preterm infants with median [IQR] gestational age 25.9 weeks [25.2-26.4] and BW 760 g [595-900] were included: 14 success and 9 failures. There were significant differences for HRV (very low-frequency power and sample entropy) and RV parameters (breath areas, amplitudes and expiratory times) between groups, with moderate strength (0.75-0.80 areas under ROC curves) in predicting success. Diaphragmatic activity measures were similar between groups. CONCLUSIONS In extremely preterm infants receiving non-invasive respiratory support shortly after extubation, several cardiorespiratory variability parameters were associated with successful extubation with moderate predictive accuracy. IMPACT Measures of cardiorespiratory variability, performed in extremely preterm infants while receiving NCPAP, NIPPV, and NIV-NAVA shortly after extubation, were significantly different between patients that succeeded or failed extubation. Cardiorespiratory variability measures had a moderate predictive accuracy for extubation success and can be potentially used as biomarkers, in recently extubated infants. Future investigations in this population may also consider including cardiorespiratory variability measures when assessing types of post-extubation respiratory support and promote individualized care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neonatal heart rate variability (HRV) is widely used as a research tool. However, HRV calculation methods are highly variable making it difficult for comparisons between studies. OBJECTIVES To describe the different types of investigations where neonatal HRV was used, study characteristics, and types of analyses performed. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA Human neonates ≤1 month of corrected age. SOURCES OF EVIDENCE A protocol and search strategy of the literature was developed in collaboration with the McGill University Health Center's librarians and articles were obtained from searches in the Biosis, Cochrane, Embase, Medline and Web of Science databases published between 1 January 2000 and 1 July 2020. CHARTING METHODS A single reviewer screened for eligibility and data were extracted from the included articles. Information collected included the study characteristics and population, type of HRV analysis used (time domain, frequency domain, non-linear, heart rate characteristics (HRC) parameters) and clinical applications (physiological and pathological conditions, responses to various stimuli and outcome prediction). RESULTS Of the 286 articles included, 171 (60%) were small single centre studies (sample size <50) performed on term infants (n=136). There were 138 different types of investigations reported: physiological investigations (n=162), responses to various stimuli (n=136), pathological conditions (n=109) and outcome predictor (n=30). Frequency domain analyses were used in 210 articles (73%), followed by time domain (n=139), non-linear methods (n=74) or HRC analyses (n=25). Additionally, over 60 different measures of HRV were reported; in the frequency domain analyses alone there were 29 different ranges used for the low frequency band and 46 for the high frequency band. CONCLUSIONS Neonatal HRV has been used in diverse types of investigations with significant lack of consistency in analysis methods applied. Specific guidelines for HRV analyses in neonates are needed to allow for comparisons between studies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Investigate the cardiorespiratory effects of noninvasive neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NIV-NAVA), nonsynchronized nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV), and nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) shortly after extubation. HYPOTHESIS Types of noninvasive pressure support and the presence of synchronization may affect cardiorespiratory parameters. STUDY DESIGN Randomized crossover trial. PATIENT-SUBJECT SELECTION Infants with birth weight (BW) 1250 g or under, undergoing their first planned extubation were randomly assigned to all three modes using a computer-generated sequence. METHODOLOGY Electrocardiogram and electrical activity of the diaphragm (Edi) were recorded for 30 min on each mode. Analysis of heart rate variability (HRV), diaphragmatic activity (Edi area, breath area, amplitude, inspiratory and expiratory times), and respiratory variability were compared between modes. RESULTS Twenty-three infants had full data recordings and analysis: Median (IQR) gestational age = 25.9 weeks (25.2-26.4), BW = 760 g (595-900), and postnatal age 7 (4-19) days. There were no differences in HRV between modes. A significantly reduced Edi area and breath amplitude, and increased coefficient of variation (CV) of breath amplitude were observed during NIV-NAVA and NIPPV compared to NCPAP. A higher proportion of assisted breaths (99% vs. 51%; p < .001) provided a higher mean airway pressure (MAP; 9.4 vs. 8.2 cmH2 O; p = .002) with lower peak inflation pressures (PIPs; 14 vs. 16 cmH2 O; p < .001) during NIV-NAVA compared to NIPPV. CONCLUSIONS NIV-NAVA and NIPPV applied shortly after extubation were associated with lower respiratory efforts and higher respiratory variability. These effects were more evident for NIV-NAVA where optimal patient-ventilator synchronization provided a higher MAP with lower PIPs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the eligibility criteria and trial characteristics among contemporary (2010-2019) randomized clinical trials (RCTs) that included infants born extremely preterm (<28 weeks of gestation) and to evaluate whether eligibility criteria result in underrepresentation of high-risk subgroups (eg, infants born at <24 weeks of gestation). STUDY DESIGN PubMed and Scopus were searched January 1, 2010, to December 31, 2019, with no language restrictions. RCTs with mean or median gestational ages at birth of <28 weeks of gestation were included. The study followed the PRISMA guidelines; outcomes were registered prospectively. Data extraction was performed independently by multiple observers. Study quality was evaluated using a modified Jadad scale. RESULTS Among RCTs (n = 201), 32 552 infants were included. Study participant characteristics, interventions, and outcomes were highly variable. A total of 1603 eligibility criteria were identified; rationales were provided for 18.8% (n = 301) of criteria. Fifty-five RCTs (27.4%) included infants <24 weeks of gestation; 454 (1.4%) infants were identified as <24 weeks of gestation. CONCLUSIONS The present study identifies sources of variability across RCTs that included infants born extremely preterm and reinforces the critical need for consistent and transparent policies governing eligibility criteria.

Abstract
Neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) greatly expand the use of technology. There is a need to accurately diagnose discomfort, pain, and complications, such as sepsis, mainly before they occur. While specific treatments are possible, they are often time-consuming, invasive, or painful, with detrimental effects for the development of the infant. In the last 40 years, heart rate variability (HRV) has emerged as a non-invasive measurement to monitor newborns and infants, but it still is underused. Hence, the present paper aims to review the utility of HRV in neonatology and the instruments available to assess it, showing how HRV could be an innovative tool in the years to come. When continuously monitored, HRV could help assess the baby’s overall wellbeing and neurological development to detect stress-/pain-related behaviors or pathological conditions, such as respiratory distress syndrome and hyperbilirubinemia, to address when to perform procedures to reduce the baby’s stress/pain and interventions, such as therapeutic hypothermia, and to avoid severe complications, such as sepsis and necrotizing enterocolitis, thus reducing mortality. Based on literature and previous experiences, the first step to efficiently introduce HRV in the NICUs could consist in a monitoring system that uses photoplethysmography, which is low-cost and non-invasive, and displays one or a few metrics with good clinical utility. However, to fully harness HRV clinical potential and to greatly improve neonatal care, the monitoring systems will have to rely on modern bioinformatics (machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms), which could easily integrate infant’s HRV metrics, vital signs, and especially past history, thus elaborating models capable to efficiently monitor and predict the infant’s clinical conditions. For this reason, hospitals and institutions will have to establish tight collaborations between the obstetric, neonatal, and pediatric departments: this way, healthcare would truly improve in every stage of the perinatal period (from conception to the first years of life), since information about patients’ health would flow freely among different professionals, and high-quality research could be performed integrating the data recorded in those departments.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diaphragm-triggered non-invasive respiratory support, commonly referred to as NIV-NAVA (non-invasive neurally adjusted ventilatory assist), uses the electrical activity of the crural diaphragm to trigger the start and end of a breath. It provides variable inspiratory pressure that is proportional to an infant's changing inspiratory effort. NIV-NAVA has the potential to provide effective, non-invasive, synchronised, multilevel support and may reduce the need for invasive ventilation; however, its effects on short- and long-term outcomes, especially in the preterm infant, are unclear. OBJECTIVES To assess the effectiveness and safety of diaphragm-triggered non-invasive respiratory support in preterm infants (< 37 weeks' gestation) when compared to other non-invasive modes of respiratory support (nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV); nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP); high-flow nasal cannulae (HFNC)), and to assess preterm infants with birth weight less than 1000 grams or less than 28 weeks' corrected gestation at the time of intervention as a sub-group. SEARCH METHODS We used the standard search strategy of Cochrane Neonatal to search the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL 2019, Issue 5), MEDLINE via PubMed (1946 to 10 May 2019), Embase (1947 to 10 May 2019), and CINAHL (1982 to 10 May 2019). We also searched clinical trials databases, conference proceedings, and the reference lists of retrieved articles for randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and quasi-randomised trials. SELECTION CRITERIA Randomised and quasi-randomised controlled trials that compared diaphragm-triggered non-invasive versus other non-invasive respiratory support in preterm infants. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Two review authors independently selected trials, assessed trial quality and extracted data from included studies. We performed fixed-effect analyses and expressed treatment effects as mean difference (MD), risk ratio (RR), and risk difference (RD) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). We used the generic inverse variance method to analyse specific outcomes for cross-over trials. We used the GRADE approach to assess the certainty of evidence. MAIN RESULTS There were two small randomised controlled trials including a total of 23 infants eligible for inclusion in the review. Only one trial involving 16 infants included in the analysis reported on either of the primary outcomes of the review. This found no difference in failure of modality between NIV-NAVA and NIPPV (RR 0.33, 95% CI 0.02 to 7.14; RD -0.13, 95% CI -0.41 to 0.16; 1 study, 16 infants; heterogeneity not applicable). Both trials reported on secondary outcomes of the review, specific for cross-over trials (total 22 infants; 1 excluded due to failure of initial modality). One study involving seven infants reported a significant reduction in maximum FiO₂ with NIV-NAVA compared to NIPPV (MD -4.29, 95% CI -5.47 to -3.11; heterogeneity not applicable). There was no difference in maximum electric activity of the diaphragm (Edi) signal between modalities (MD -1.75, 95% CI -3.75 to 0.26; I² = 0%) and a significant increase in respiratory rate with NIV-NAVA compared to NIPPV (MD 7.22, 95% CI 0.21 to 14.22; I² = 72%) on a meta-analysis of two studies involving a total of 22 infants. The included studies did not report on other outcomes of interest. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS Due to limited data and very low certainty evidence, we were unable to determine if diaphragm-triggered non-invasive respiratory support is effective or safe in preventing respiratory failure in preterm infants. Large, adequately powered randomised controlled trials are needed to determine if diaphragm-triggered non-invasive respiratory support in preterm infants is effective or safe.
