Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine the measurement properties of the Feeding Adequacy Scale (FAS) in young children hospitalized with bronchiolitis. METHODS Multicenter cohort study of infants hospitalized with bronchiolitis at children's and community hospitals in Ontario, Canada. Caregivers and nurses completed the FAS, a 10-cm visual analog scale anchored by "not feeding at all" (score 0) and "feeding as when healthy" (score 10). The main outcome measures were feasibility, reliability, validity, and responsiveness of the FAS. RESULTS A total of 228 children were included with an average (SD) age of 6.3 (5.4) months. Completing the FAS was feasible for caregivers and nurses, with no floor or ceiling effects. Test-retest reliability was moderate for caregivers (intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC] 2,1 0.73; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.63-0.80) and good for nurses (ICC 2,1 0.75; 95% CI 0.62-0.83). Interrater reliability between 1 caregiver and 1 nurse was moderate (ICC 1,1 0.55; 95% CI 0.45-0.64). For construct validity, the FAS was negatively associated with length of hospital stay and positively associated with both caregiver and nurse readiness for discharge scores (P values <.0001). The FAS demonstrated clinical improvement from the first FAS score at admission to the last FAS score at discharge, with significant differences between scores for both caregivers and nurses (P values for paired t test <.0001). CONCLUSIONS These results provide evidence of the feasibility, reliability, validity, and responsiveness of caregiver-completed and nurse-completed FAS as a measure of feeding adequacy in children hospitalized with bronchiolitis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Electrolyte disorders occurs frequently in children with bronchiolitis. The aim of the present study was to describe the frequency of hypophosphatemia and to evaluate its association with length of mechanical ventilation in infants admitted to a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) with bronchiolitis. METHODS This retrospective cohort study included infants aged between 7 days and 3 months admitted to a PICU between September 2018 and March 2020 and diagnosed with severe acute bronchiolitis requiring respiratory support. Infants with a chronic condition that could potentially be a confounding factor were excluded. The primary outcome was the frequency of hypophosphatemia (<1.55 mmol/L); the secondary outcomes were the frequency of hypophosphatemia during the PICU stay, and the association with length of mechanical ventilation (LOMV). RESULTS Among the 319 infants admitted 178 had at least one phosphatemia value and were included in the study. The frequency of hypophosphatemia was 41% at PICU admission (61/148) and 46% during the PICU stay (80/172). The median [IQR] LOMV was significantly longer in children with hypophosphatemia at admission (109 [65-195] h vs. 67 [43-128] h, p = 0.007), and in multivariable linear regression lower phosphatemia at admission was associated with longer LOMV (p < 0.001) after controlling for severity (PELOD2 score) and weight. CONCLUSION Hypophosphatemia was frequent in infants with severe bronchiolitis admitted to a PICU and was associated with a longer LOMV.

Association of enteral feeds in critically ill bronchiolitis patients supported by high-flow nasal cannula with adverse events and outcomes. Eur J Pediatr 2023; 182:4015-4025. [PMID: 37389681 DOI: 10.1007/s00431-023-05085-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2023] [Revised: 06/13/2023] [Accepted: 06/24/2023] [Indexed: 07/01/2023]
Abstract
To study association of enteral feeds in bronchiolitis patients supported by different levels of high flow nasal cannula (HFNC) with adverse events, nutritional goals, and clinical outcomes. Bronchiolitis patients ≤ 24 months of age treated with < 1 L/kg/min, 1-2 L/kg/min and > 2 L/kg/min of HFNC between January 2014 and December 2021 were studied retrospectively at a tertiary care children's hospital. Adverse events (aspiration pneumonia, emesis, and respiratory support escalation), nutritional goals (initiation of enteral feeds, achievement of nutritional goal volume and goal calories, percentage weight change during hospital stay) and clinical outcomes (HFNC duration, oxygen supplementation duration after HFNC, length of hospital stay following HFNC support, total length of hospital stay and follow-up for 1 month after hospital discharge) were compared between fed and non-fed patients on HFNC. Six hundred thirty-six (489 fed and 147 not-fed) bronchiolitis patients on HFNC studied. 260 patients, 317 patients and 59 patients were supported by < 1 L/kg/min, 1-2 L/kg/min and > 2 L/kg/min of HFNC, respectively. Enterally fed patients had significantly less adverse events (OR = 0.14, 95% CI 0.083 - 0.23, p < 0.001), significantly better nutritional goals: earlier initiation of enteral feeds by 65% in time (mean ratio = 0.35, 95% CI 0.28 - 0.43, p < 0.001), earlier achievement of goal volume and goal calorie needs by 14% in time (mean ratio = 0.86, 95% CI 0.78 to 0.96, p = 0.005) and significantly better clinical outcomes: shorter HFNC duration by 29.75 h (95% CI 20.19 -39.31, p < 0.001), shorter oxygen supplementation duration after HFNC by 12.14 h (95% CI 6.70 -17.59, p < 0.001), shorter length of hospital stay after HFNC support by 21.35 h (95% CI 14.71-27.98, p < 0.001) and shorter total length of hospital stay by 51.10 h (95% CI 38.65 -63.55, p < 0.001), as compared to non-fed patients, after adjusting for age, weight, prematurity, comorbidities, admission time, admission bronchiolitis score, admission respiratory rate, and HFNC levels. The number of revisits and readmissions at 7 and 30 days after hospital discharge were not significantly different (p > 0.05) between the fed and non-fed groups. Conclusion: Enteral feeding of bronchiolitis patients supported by different levels of HFNC is associated with less adverse events and better nutrition goals and clinical outcomes. What is Known: •There is general apprehension to feed critically ill bronchiolitis patients supported by high flow nasal cannula. What is New: •Our study reveals that enteral feeding of critically ill bronchiolitis patients supported by different levels of high flow nasal cannula is associated with minimal adverse events, better nutritional goals and improved clinical outcomes as compared to non-fed patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE Infants hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) may be orally fed while receiving noninvasive ventilation (NIV), but the practice is variable and decision criteria are not well understood. This systematic review examines the evidence regarding this practice, including type and level of NIV used during NICU oral feeding, protocols, and safety of this practice. METHOD The PubMed, Scopus, and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) databases were searched to identify publications relevant to this review. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were followed to ensure the appropriate inclusion of articles. RESULTS Fourteen articles were included. Seven studies (50%) were retrospective. Two were quality improvement projects, and the remaining five (35.7%) were prospective. Continuous positive airway pressure and high-flow nasal cannula were commonly used. Levels of respiratory support were variable between studies, if reported at all. Three studies (21.4%) included feeding protocols. Six studies (42.9%) identified use of feeding experts. While many studies commented that orally feeding neonates on NIV is safe, the only study to instrumentally assess swallow safety found that a significant number of neonates silently aspirated during feeding on continuous positive airway pressure. CONCLUSIONS Strong data supporting practices related to orally feeding infants in the NICU who require NIV are scarce. The types and levels of NIV, and decision-making criteria, are variable across studies and preclude clinically useful conclusions. There is a pressing need for additional research pertaining to orally feeding this population so that an evidence-based standard of care can be established. Specifically, this research should elucidate the impact of different types and levels of NIV on the mechanistic properties of swallowing as defined via instrumental assessment.

An anthropometric evidence against the use of age-based estimation of bodyweight in pediatric patients admitted to intensive care units. Sci Rep 2023; 13:3574. [PMID: 36864218 PMCID: PMC9981604 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-30566-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2022] [Accepted: 02/25/2023] [Indexed: 03/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Age-based bodyweight estimation is commonly used in pediatric settings, but pediatric ICU patients often have preexisting comorbidity and resulting failure to thrive, hence their anthropometric measures may be small-for-age. Accordingly, age-based methods could overestimate bodyweight in such settings, resulting in iatrogenic complications. We performed a retrospective cohort study using pediatric data (aged < 16 years) registered in the Japanese Intensive Care Patient Database from April 2015 to March 2020. All the anthropometric data were overlaid on the growth charts. The estimation accuracy of 4 age-based and 2 height-based bodyweight estimations was evaluated by the Bland-Altman plot analysis and the proportion of estimates within 10% of the measured weight (ρ10%). We analyzed 6616 records. The distributions of both bodyweight and height were drifted to the lower values throughout the childhood while the distribution of BMI was similar to the general healthy children. The accuracy in bodyweight estimation with age-based formulae was inferior to that with height-based methods. These data demonstrated that the pediatric patients in the Japanese ICU were proportionally small-for-age, suggesting a special risk of using the conventional age-based estimation but supporting the use of height-based estimation of the bodyweight in the pediatric ICU.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Oral feeding by children with bronchiolitis on high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) is questioned, resulting in high practice variability. Our objective was to determine the incidence of aspiration pneumonia and adverse feeding events in otherwise healthy children with bronchiolitis on HFNC who fed orally from admission. METHODS We conducted a single-center, retrospective chart review, in a tertiary children's hospital, of 876 children who were <24 months old, admitted for bronchiolitis, and treated with HFNC in the pediatric ward from March 2017 to May 2020. Primary outcomes included the incidence of aspiration pneumonia and adverse feeding events. Secondary outcomes included escalation of care, frequency and duration of nil per os status, length of stay, and 7-day readmission. RESULTS Most patients (77.2%) met inclusion criteria and were fed orally within 2 hours of admission. The average maximum HFNC flow rate was 8 L/min (1 L/kg/min); the average maximum respiratory rate was 62 ± 10. Adverse feeding events occurred in 11 patients (1.6%), of which 3 had a concern for possible microaspiration. None were diagnosed with or treated for aspiration pneumonia. Few patients (8.1%) were made nil per os while on HFNC but returned to oral feeding by discharge. CONCLUSION Among those with bronchiolitis on HFNC who received oral nutrition on admission, there were few incidences of adverse feeding events and no diagnoses of aspiration pneumonia, suggesting that oral feeding while on HFNC can be well-tolerated in similar populations. However, this study was limited by its single-center retrospective design, and future prospective studies are needed.

Abstract
PURPOSE We present guidelines for the management of infants under 12 months of age with severe bronchiolitis with the aim of creating a series of pragmatic recommendations for a patient subgroup that is poorly individualized in national and international guidelines. METHODS Twenty-five French-speaking experts, all members of the Groupe Francophone de Réanimation et Urgence Pédiatriques (French-speaking group of paediatric intensive and emergency care; GFRUP) (Algeria, Belgium, Canada, France, Switzerland), collaborated from 2021 to 2022 through teleconferences and face-to-face meetings. The guidelines cover five areas: (1) criteria for admission to a pediatric critical care unit, (2) environment and monitoring, (3) feeding and hydration, (4) ventilatory support and (5) adjuvant therapies. The questions were written in the Patient-Intervention-Comparison-Outcome (PICO) format. An extensive Anglophone and Francophone literature search indexed in the MEDLINE database via PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane and Embase was performed using pre-established keywords. The texts were analyzed and classified according to the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) methodology. When this method did not apply, an expert opinion was given. Each of these recommendations was voted on by all the experts according to the Delphi methodology. RESULTS This group proposes 40 recommendations. The GRADE methodology could be applied for 17 of them (3 strong, 14 conditional) and an expert opinion was given for the remaining 23. All received strong approval during the first round of voting. CONCLUSION These guidelines cover the different aspects in the management of severe bronchiolitis in infants admitted to pediatric critical care units. Compared to the different ways to manage patients with severe bronchiolitis described in the literature, our original work proposes an overall less invasive approach in terms of monitoring and treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Infants hospitalized with bronchiolitis are commenced on nasogastric feeding to maintain hydration. Feeding strategies vary according to physician or institution preference. The current study hypothesized that continuous nasogastric feeding would prolong length of stay (LOS) when compared to bolus feeding. METHODS A randomized, parallel-group, superiority clinical trial was performed within an Australian children's hospital throughout 2 bronchiolitis seasons from May 2018 to October 2019. Infants <12 months hospitalized with bronchiolitis and requiring supplemental nasogastric feeding were randomly assigned to continuous or bolus nasogastric regimens. LOS was the primary outcome. Secondary outcome measures included pulmonary aspirations and admissions to intensive care. RESULTS The intention-to-treat analysis included 189 patients: 98 in the bolus nasogastric feeding group and 91 in the continuous group. There was no significant difference in LOS (median LOS of the bolus group was 54.25 hours [interquartile range 40.25-82] and 56 hours [interquartile range 38-78.75] in the continuous group). A higher proportion of admissions to intensive care was detected in the continuous group (28.57% [26 of 91] of the continuous group vs 11.22% [11 of 98] of the bolus group [P value 0.004]). There were no clinically significant pulmonary aspirations or statistically significant differences in vital signs between the groups within 6 hours of feed initiation. CONCLUSIONS No significant difference in LOS was found between bolus and continuous nasogastric feeding strategies for infants hospitalized with bronchiolitis. The continuous feeding group had a higher proportion of intensive care admissions, and there were no aspiration events.

Abstract
Neurological morbidity is a growing concern in children with severe bronchiolitis. The aim of the study was to evaluate the frequency of occurrence and the factors associated with seizures in very young infants < 3 months of age, admitted to a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) for severe bronchiolitis. We performed a single center retrospective cohort study evaluating occurrence of seizures in infants admitted to the PICU between 2010 and 2018 for severe bronchiolitis. We described characteristics of the patients, laboratory test, brain imaging, and electroencephalogram results, as well as the treatment used. We conducted a multivariable logistic regression to identify factors associated with the occurrence of seizures. A p value < 0.05 was considered significant. A total of 805 patients were included in the study; 722 (89.6%) were mechanically ventilated. Twenty-six infants (3.2%, 95% confidence interval, 95% CI [2.1%; 4.7%]) had seizures shortly prior to admission or during PICU stay. In the multivariable analysis, hyponatremia (odds ratio, OR: 4.6, 95%CI [1.86; 11.43], p = 0.001) and invasive ventilation (OR: 2.6, 95% CI [1.14; 5.9], p < 0.001) were associated with an increased likelihood of seizures occurrence.Conclusion: Seizures occur in at least 3% of very young infants with severe bronchiolitis, and the characteristics of these are different to those experienced by older infants, but they shared the same risk factors (hyponatremia and mechanical ventilation). This highlights the extrapulmonary morbidity associated with bronchiolitis in this population. What is Known: • Bronchiolitis is the leading cause of pediatric intensive care admission and use of mechanical ventilation in infants. • Neurological morbidities have to be investigated in this population at risk of neurological complications. What is New: • Seizure is a complication in at least 3% of very young infants with severe bronchiolitis. • Seizure characteristics are different, but the main risk factors are the same than in older infants (hyponatremia and mechanical ventilation).

Abstract
OBJECTIVES In children hospitalized for bronchiolitis, enteral nutrition (EN) practices during noninvasive ventilation (NIV) vary widely. We sought to assess the potential impact of EN by observing changes in physiometric indices (heart rate [HR] and respiratory rate [RR]) before and after EN initiation. METHODS We performed a retrospective cohort study in children <2 years of age hospitalized for bronchiolitis receiving NIV from 2017 to 2019 in a quaternary ICU. The primary outcome was patient HR and RR before and after EN initiation. Descriptive data included demographics, anthropometrics, comorbidities, NIV parameters, EN characteristics, and general hospital outcomes. Analyses included paired comparative and descriptive statistics. RESULTS Of the 124 children studied, 85 (69%) were permitted EN at a median of 12 (interquartile range [IQR]: 7 to 29) hours. The route was oral (76.5%), nasogastric (15.3%), or postpyloric (8.2%) and was predominantly started during high-flow nasal cannula (71%) at flow rates of 1 (IQR: 0.7 to 1.4) L/kg per minute. After EN initiation, reductions in the median RR (percentage change: -11 [IQR: -23 to 3]; P < .01) and HR (percentage change: -5 [IQR: -12 to 1]; P < .01) were noted. Those permitted EN were younger (5 [IQR: 2 to 11] vs 11 [IQR: 3 to 17] months; P < .01) and more likely to have bronchopulmonary dysplasia (19% vs 5%; P = .04). Malnutrition rates, comorbidities, admission timing, flow rates, length of stay, and NIV duration did not differ for those provided or not provided EN. No aspiration events were observed. CONCLUSIONS Reductions between pre- and postprandial RR after EN initiation among children hospitalized for bronchiolitis on NIV were observed without clinically significant aspiration. These findings support existing data that suggest that EN is safe during NIV and may lessen distress in some patients.

Nasogastric tube, a warning sign for high-flow nasal cannula failure in infants with bronchiolitis. Sci Rep 2020; 10:15914. [PMID: 32985553 PMCID: PMC7522248 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-72687-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2020] [Accepted: 08/31/2020] [Indexed: 11/09/2022] Open
Abstract
High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) therapy is routinely used in the treatment of infants with bronchiolitis. This study sought to identify markers associated with failure of HFNC therapy that serve as warnings for early staging of other ventilatory support products. A retrospective study of infants with a diagnosis of bronchiolitis, receiving HFNC and admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit from January 2016 to June 2017, was conducted. The subjects were divided into two study groups according to the success or failure of HFNC therapy. Risk factors were assessed using the following variables: age, time between hospital admission and start of HFNC, equipment model, and the need for a nasogastric tube. Eighty-one infants were studied, and 18 (21.7%) of them exhibited therapy failure. The results of the logistic models showed that the chances of failure for patients requiring a nasogastric tube during HFNC use were more likely than those for patients with oral nutrition (OR = 8.17; 95% CI 2.30–28.99; p = 0.001). The HFNC failure was not associated with the device used (OR = 1.56; 95% CI 0.54–4.52; p = 0.41), time between hospital admission and HFNC installation (OR = 1.01; 95% CI 0.98–1.03; p = 0.73), or age (OR = 0.98; 95% CI 0.82–1.17; p = 0.82). Among late outcomes evaluated, the patients with therapy failure had longer total durations of O2 use (p < 0.001) and longer hospital stays (p < 0.001). The need to use a nasogastric tube during HFNC use was associated with HFNC therapy failure and can be considered as a marker of severity in children with bronchiolitis.

Abstract
AbstractAcute viral bronchiolitis (AVB) is the leading cause of hospital admissions among infants in developed and developing countries and associated with increased morbidity and cost of treatment. This review was performed to guide the clinicians managing AVB in light of evidence accumulated in the last decade. We searched published English literature in last decade regarding etiology, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of AVB using PubMed and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. Respiratory syncytial virus is the most common causative agent. The diagnosis is mainly clinical with limited role of diagnostic investigations and chest radiographs are not routinely indicated. The management of AVB remains a challenge, as the role of various interventions is not clear. Supportive care in from of provision of heated and humidified oxygen and maintaining hydration are main interventions. The use of pulse oximetry helps to guide the administration of oxygen. Trials and systematic reviews evaluated various interventions like nebulized adrenaline, bronchodilators and hypertonic saline, corticosteroids, different modes of noninvasive ventilation (high-flow nasal cannula [HFNC], continuous positive airway pressure [CPAP], and noninvasive positive pressure ventilation [NPPV]), surfactant, heliox, chest physiotherapy, and antiviral drugs. The interventions which showed some benefits in infants and children with AVB are adrenaline and hypertonic saline nebulization, HFNC, CPAP, NIV, and surfactant. The routine administration of antibiotics, bronchodilators, corticosteroids, steam inhalation, chest physiotherapy, heliox, and antiviral drugs are not recommended.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To explore the perceived barriers by pediatric intensive care healthcare professionals (nurses, dieticians, and physicians) in delivering enteral nutrition to critically ill children across the world. DESIGN Cross-sectional international online survey adapted for use in pediatric settings. SETTING PICUs across the world. SUBJECTS PICU nurses, physicians, and dietitians. INTERVENTIONS The 20-item adult intensive care "Barriers to delivery of enteral nutrition" survey was modified for pediatric settings, tested, and translated into 10 languages. The survey was distributed online to pediatric intensive care nurses, physicians, and dieticians via professional networks in March 2019 to June 2019. Professionals were asked to rate each item indicating the degree to which they perceived it hinders the provision of enteral nutrition in their PICUs with a 7-point Likert scale from 0 "not at all a barrier" to 6 "an extreme amount." MEASUREMENT AND MAIN RESULTS Nine-hundred twenty pediatric intensive care professionals responded from 57 countries; 477 of 920 nurses (52%), 407 of 920 physicians (44%), and 36 of 920 dieticians (4%). Sixty-two percent had more than 5 years PICU experience and 49% worked in general PICUs, with 35% working in combined cardiac and general PICUs. The top three perceived barriers across all professional groups were as follows: 1) enteral feeds being withheld in advance of procedures or operating department visits, 2) none or not enough dietitian coverage on weekends or evenings, and 3) not enough time dedicated to education and training on how to optimally feed patients. CONCLUSIONS This is the largest survey that has explored perceived barriers to the delivery of enteral nutrition across the world by physicians, nurses, and dietitians. There were some similarities with adult intensive care barriers. In all professional groups, the perception of barriers reduced with years PICU experience. This survey highlights implications for PICU practice around more focused nutrition education for all PICU professional groups.
