Qu LL, Zhao WP, Li JP, Zhang W. Predictive value of diaphragm ultrasound for mechanical ventilation outcome in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. World J Clin Cases 2024; 12:5893-5900. [PMID: 39286369 PMCID: PMC11287505 DOI: 10.12998/wjcc.v12.i26.5893] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2024] [Revised: 06/07/2024] [Accepted: 07/01/2024] [Indexed: 07/19/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) is often combined with respiratory failure, which increases the patient's morbidity and mortality. Diaphragm ultrasound (DUS) has developed rapidly in the field of critical care in recent years. Studies with DUS monitoring diaphragm-related rapid shallow breathing index have demonstrated important results in guiding intensive care unit patients out of the ventilator. Early prediction of the indications for withdrawal of non-invasive ventilator and early evaluation of patients to avoid or reduce disease progression are very important. AIM To explore the predictive value of DUS indexes for non-invasive ventilation outcome in patients with AECOPD. METHODS Ninety-four patients with AECOPD who received mechanical ventilation in our hospital from January 2022 to December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed, and they were divided into a successful ventilation group (68 cases) and a failed ventilation group (26 cases) according to the outcome of ventilation. The clinical data of patients with successful and failed noninvasive ventilation were compared, and the independent predictors of noninvasive ventilation outcomes in AECOPD patients were identified by multivariate logistic regression analysis. RESULTS There were no significant differences in gender, age, body mass index, complications, systolic pressure, heart rate, mean arterial pressure, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, partial pressure of oxygen, oxygenation index, or time of inspiration between patients with successful and failed mechanical ventilation (P > 0.05). The patients with successful noninvasive ventilation had shorter hospital stays and lower partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) than those with failed treatment, while potential of hydrogen (pH), diaphragm thickening fraction (DTF), diaphragm activity, and diaphragm movement time were significantly higher than those with failed treatment (P < 0.05). pH [odds ratio (OR) = 0.005, P < 0.05], PaCO2 (OR = 0.430, P < 0.05), and DTF (OR = 0.570, P < 0.05) were identified to be independent factors influencing the outcome of mechanical ventilation in AECOPD patients. CONCLUSION The DUS index DTF can better predict the outcome of non-invasive ventilation in AECOPD patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate in-hospital mortality and hospital length of stay (LOS) in infants requiring tracheostomy with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). METHODS We explored the correlation between tracheostomy with in-hospital mortality and LOS in infant patients hospitalized with BPD, using the data from Nationwide Inpatient Sample between 2008 and 2017 in the United States. In-hospital mortality and LOS was compared in patients who underwent tracheostomy with those patients who did not after propensity-score matching. RESULTS A total of 10,262 children ≤2 years old hospitalized with BPD, 847 (8%) underwent tracheostomy, and 821 patients underwent tracheostomy were matched with 1602 patients without tracheostomy. Tracheostomy group was correlated with higher in-hospital mortality(OR(95%CI):2.98(2.25-3.95)) and prolonged LOS(absolute difference(95%CI):97.0(85.6-108.4)). CONCLUSIONS Tracheostomy was correlated with increased in-hospital mortality and prolonged LOS. Such information may contribute to better decision-making process between clinicians and parents regarding tracheostomy to manage parent expectations, as well as better interdisciplinary teamwork.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to study the involvement of ferroptosis in the pathogenesis of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) by conducting bioinformatics analyses and identifying and validating the associated ferroptosis-related genes to explore new directions for treating BPD. METHODS The dataset GSE32472 on BPD was downloaded from the public genome database. Using R language, differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the BPD and normal group were screened. In the present study, we adopted weighted gene correlation network analysis (WGCNA) for identifying BPD-related gene modules and ferroptosis-related genes were extracted from FerrDb. Their results were intersected to obtain the hub genes. After that, to explore the hub gene-related signaling pathways, the hub genes were exposed to gene ontology enrichment analysis. With the purpose of verifying the mRNA expression of the hub genes, a single-gene gene set enrichment analysis and quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction were conducted. Immune cell infiltration in BPD was analyzed using the CIBERSORT inverse fold product algorithm. RESULTS A total of 606 DEGs were screened. WGCNA provided the BPD-related gene module darkgreen4. The intersection of DEGs, intramodular genes, and ferroptosis-related genes revealed six ferroptosis-associated hub genes (ACSL1, GALNT14, WIPI1, MAPK14, PROK2, and CREB5). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis demonstrated that the hub genes screened for BPD were of good diagnostic significance. According to the results of immune infiltration analysis, the proportions of CD8, CD4 naive, and memory resting T cells and M2 macrophage were elevated in the normal group, and the proportions of M0 macrophage, resting mast cell, and neutrophils were increased in the BPD group. CONCLUSIONS A total of six ferroptosis-associated hub genes in BPD were identified in this study, and they may be potential new therapeutic targets for BPD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the differences in clinical characteristics among children on prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) due to different primary diseases. METHODS A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 59 pediatric patients requiring PMV from July 2017 to September 2022. According to the primary disease, they were divided into respiratory disease (RD) group, central nervous system (CNS) group, neuromuscular disease (NMD) group, and other disease group. The four groups were compared in terms of general information, treatment, and outcome. RESULTS There were significant differences among the four groups in age, body weight, Pediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction-2 (PELOD-2) score, Pediatric Risk of Mortality III (PRISM Ⅲ) score, analgesic and sedative treatment, nutrition supply, rehabilitation treatment, tracheotomy, successful ventilator weaning, and outcomes (P<0.05). Compared with the RD group, the CNS group and the other disease group had a significantly higher age and a significantly higher proportion of children receiving rehabilitation treatment, and the CNS group had a significantly higher proportion of children receiving tracheotomy (P<0.008). Compared with the other disease group, the CNS group and the NMD group had significantly lower PELOD-2 and PRISM III scores, and the CNS group had a significantly higher proportion of children with successful ventilator weaning and a significantly higher proportion of children who were improved and discharged (P<0.008). CONCLUSIONS There are differences in clinical characteristics among children receiving PMV due to different etiologies. Most children in the RD group have a younger age, and children in the CNS group have a relatively good prognosis.

A nomogram for predicting the necessity of tracheostomy after severe acute brain injury in patients within the neurosurgery intensive care unit: A retrospective cohort study. Heliyon 2024; 10:e27416. [PMID: 38509924 PMCID: PMC10951500 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e27416] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2023] [Revised: 02/15/2024] [Accepted: 02/28/2024] [Indexed: 03/22/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective This retrospective study was aimed to develop a predictive model for assessing the necessity of tracheostomy (TT) in patients admitted to the neurosurgery intensive care unit (NSICU). Method We analyzed data from 1626 NSICU patients with severe acute brain injury (SABI) who were admitted to the Department of NSICU at the Affiliated People's Hospital of Jiangsu University between January 2021 and December 2022. Data of the patients were retrospectively obtained from the clinical research data platform. The patients were randomly divided into training (70%) and testing (30%) cohorts. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression identified the optimal predictive features. A multivariate logistic regression model was then constructed and represented by a nomogram. The efficacy of the model was evaluated based on discrimination, calibration, and clinical utility. Results The model highlighted six predictive variables, including the duration of NSICU stay, neurosurgery, orotracheal intubation time, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score, systolic pressure, and respiration rate. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis of the nomogram yielded area under the curve (AUC) values of 0.854 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.822-0.886) for the training cohort and 0.865 (95% CI: 0.817-0.913) for the testing cohort, suggesting commendable differential performance. The predictions closely aligned with actual observations in both cohorts. Decision curve analysis demonstrated that the numerical model offered a favorable net clinical benefit. Conclusion We developed a novel predictive model to identify risk factors for TT in SABI patients within the NSICU. This model holds the potential to assist clinicians in making timely surgical decisions concerning TT.

Pediatr Pulmonol 2024.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Premature infants surviving beyond a postmenstrual age (PMA) of 36 weeks with severe or grade 3 bronchopulmonary dysplasia (sBPD) have significant predischarge mortality. The in-hospital mortality for BPD supported by invasive mechanical ventilation beyond 36 weeks PMA is not well described. The role of lung transplantation in treating severe BPD is uncertain. We studied our experience over 20 years to better define the predischarge mortality of infants with progressive grade 3 BPD and whether lung transplant is a feasible intervention. METHODS Data were obtained from a retrospective review of medical records from Children's Minnesota over a 20-year period (1997-2016). Inclusion criteria included prematurity <32 weeks PMA, BPD, tracheostomy for chronic respiratory failure, and survival beyond 36 weeks PMA. Collected data included perinatal demographics, in-hospital medications and interventions, level of respiratory support, and outcomes. RESULTS In all, 2374 infants were identified who survived beyond 36 weeks PMA with a diagnosis of <32 weeks gestation prematurity and BPD. Of these, 143/2374 (6.0%) survived beyond 36 weeks PMA and required invasive mechanical ventilation with subsequent tracheostomy for management. Among these patients, discharge to home with tracheostomy occurred in 127/143 (88.8%), and predischarge death or lung transplantation occurred in 16/143 (11.2%). Deteriorating cardiopulmonary status was associated with pulmonary hypertension, prolonged hypoxemic episodes and the need for deep sedation or neuromuscular relaxation. Three of four patients referred for lung transplantation had >5-year survival, chronic allograft rejection, and mild to moderate developmental delays. CONCLUSIONS Chronic respiratory failure requiring invasive mechanical ventilation for grade 3 BPD is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. For selected patients and their families, timely referral for lung transplantation is a viable option for end-stage grade 3 BPD. As in other infants receiving solid organ transplants, long-term issues with co-morbidities and special needs persist into childhood.

Limosilactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938 as a probiotic in preterm infants: An updated systematic review with meta-analysis and trial sequential analysis. JPEN J Parenter Enteral Nutr 2023; 47:963-981.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Our previous strain-specific systematic review (SR) showed that Lactobacillus reuteri (LR) DSM 17938 reduces necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), late-onset sepsis (LOS), and time to full feeds (TFF) in preterm infants. Considering progress in the field over the past 6 years, we aimed to update our SR. METHODS SR of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and non-RCTs was conducted. MEDLINE, Embase, Emcare, Cochrane CENTRAL, and gray literature were searched in June 2023. Primary outcomes were TFF, NEC stage ≥II, LOS, and all-cause mortality. Meta-analysis was performed using random-effects model. Certainty of evidence (CoE) was summarized using Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) guidelines. Trial sequential analysis (TSA) was applied for outcome of NEC in RCTs. RESULTS Twelve RCTs (n = 2284) and four non-RCTs (n = 1616) were included. Six RCTs and three non-RCTs were new. Meta-analysis of RCTs showed LR significantly reduced TFF (mean difference, -2.70 [95% CI, -4.90 to -1.31] days; P = 0.0001), NEC stage ≥II (risk ratio [RR], 0.57 [95% CI, 0.37-0.87]; P = 0.009; eight RCTs), and LOS (RR, 0.72 [95% CI, 0.54-0.97]; P = 0.03); but not mortality (RR, 0.76 [95% CI, 0.54-1.06]; P = 0.10). TSA showed diversity-adjusted required information size (DARIS) as 3624 for NEC. Overall CoE was "very low." Meta-analysis of non-RCTs showed LR reduced NEC (odds ratio, 0.34 [95% CI, 0.15-0.77]; P = 0.01) but not LOS. LR had no adverse effects. CONCLUSIONS Very low CoE suggests that LR DSM 17938 may reduce NEC and LOS and shorten TFF in preterm infants. Additional RCTs are required to confirm our findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Children and young adults with congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS) are at risk of cognitive deficits. They experience autonomic dysfunction and chemoreceptor insensitivity measured during ventilatory and orthostatic challenges, but relationships between these features are undefined. RESEARCH QUESTION Can a biomarker be identified from physiologic responses to ventilatory and orthostatic challenges that is related to neurocognitive outcomes in CCHS? STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS This retrospective study included 25 children and young adults with CCHS tested over an inpatient stay. Relationships between physiologic measurements during hypercarbic and hypoxic ventilatory challenges, hypoxic ventilatory challenges, and orthostatic challenges and neurocognitive outcomes (by Wechsler intelligence indexes) were examined. Independent variable inclusion was determined by significant associations in Pearson's analyses. Multivariate linear regressions were used to assess relationships between measured physiologic responses to challenges and neurocognitive scores. RESULTS Significant relationships were identified between areas of fluid intelligence and measures of oxygen saturation (SpO2) and heart rate (HR) during challenges. Specifically, perceptual reasoning was related to HR (adjusted regression [β] coefficient, -0.68; 95% CI, 1.24 to -0.12; P = .02) during orthostasis. Working memory was related to change in HR (β, -1.33; 95% CI, -2.61 to -0.05; P = .042) during the hypoxic ventilatory challenge. Processing speed was related to HR (β, -1.19; 95% CI, -1.93 to -0.46; P = .003) during orthostasis, to baseline SpO2 (hypercarbic and hypoxic β, 8.57 [95% CI, 1.63-15.51]; hypoxic β, 8.37 [95% CI, 3.65-13.11]; P = .002 for both) during the ventilatory challenges, and to intrachallenge SpO2 (β, 5.89; 95% CI, 0.71-11.07; P = .028) during the hypoxic ventilatory challenge. INTERPRETATION In children and young adults with CCHS, SpO2 and HR-or change in HR-at rest and as a response to hypoxia and orthostasis are related to cognitive outcomes in domains of known risk, particularly fluid reasoning. These findings can guide additional research on the usefulness of these as biomarkers in understanding the impact of daily physical stressors on neurodevelopment in this high-risk group.

Abstract
Children with medical complexity (CMCs) represent a subgroup of children who may have congenital or acquired multisystemic disease. CMCs are frequently predisposed to respiratory problems and often require long-term mechanical ventilation (LTMV). The indications for LTMV in CMCs are increasing, but gathering evidence about indications, titration, and monitoring is currently the most difficult challenge due to the absence of validated data. The aim of this review was to examine the clinical indications and ethical considerations for the initiation, continuation, or withdrawal of LTMV among CMCs. The decision to initiate long-term ventilation should always be based on clinical and ethical considerations and should be shared with the parents.

Pulmonary infection in traumatic brain injury patients undergoing tracheostomy: predicators and nursing care. BMC Pulm Med 2022; 22:130. [PMID: 35392885 PMCID: PMC8988413 DOI: 10.1186/s12890-022-01928-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2021] [Accepted: 03/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Pulmonary infection is common yet serious complication in patients with severe traumatic brain injury (STBI). We aimed to evaluate the predicators of pulmonary infection in STBI patients undergoing tracheostomy, to provide evidence for the clinical nursing care of STBI patients. Methods This study was a retrospective cohort design. STBI patients undergoing tracheostomy treatment from January 1, 2019 to August 31, 2021 in our hospital were included. The characteristics of pulmonary infection and no pulmonary infection patients were analyzed. Results A total 216 STBI patients undergoing tracheostomy were included, the incidence of pulmonary infection was 26.85%. Diabetes (r = 0.782), hypoproteinemia (r = 0.804), duration of coma(r = 0.672), duration of mechanical ventilation(r = 0.724) and length of hospital stay (r = 0.655), length of hospital stay post tracheostomy (r = 0.554), mortality (r = 0.598) were all correlated with pulmonary infection (all p < 0.05). Klebsiella pneumoniae (33.87%) and Staphylococcus aureus (29.03%) were the most commonly seen pathogens in the pulmonary infection of TBI patients. Logistic regression analyses indicated that diabetes (OR 2.232, 95% CI 1.215–3.904), hypoproteinemia with plasma total protein < 60 g/L (OR 1.922, 95% CI 1.083–3.031), duration of coma ≥ 22 h (OR 2.864, 95% CI 1.344–5.012), duration of mechanical ventilation ≥ 5 days (OR 3.602, 95% CI 1.297–5.626), length of hospital stay ≥ 21 days (OR 2.048, 95% CI 1.022–3.859) were the risk factors of pulmonary infection in TBI patients undergoing tracheostomy (all p < 0.05). Conclusions Further investigations on the early preventions and treatments targeted on those risk factors are needed to reduce the pulmonary infection in clinical practice.

Abstract
For the newborns needing respiratory support at 36 weeks postmenstrual age, regardless of the type of ventilation used, it is critical to take into account the mechanics properties of both airways and lungs affected by severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia (sBPD). Ventilator strategies, settings, and weaning must change dramatically after sBPD is established, but to date there is almost no high-quality evidence base supporting a specific approach to guide the optimal ventilator management and weaning in patients with sBPD. Weaning from invasive mechanical ventilation, management of the immediately postextubation period, and weaning from noninvasive ventilation in patients with sBPD are the topics covered in this chapter.

Abstract
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is the most common chronic lung disease in infants and is associated with increased mortality, respiratory morbidity, neurodevelopmental impairment, and increased healthcare costs. In parallel with advances made in the field of neonatal intensive care, the phenotype of BPD has evolved from a fibrocystic disease affecting late preterm infants to one of impaired parenchymal development and dysregulated vascular growth predominantly affecting infants born before 29 weeks' gestational age. BPD has been shown to have significant lifelong consequences. Adults with BPD have been found to have abnormal lung function tests, reduced exercise tolerance, and may be at increased risk for developing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Evidence shows that BPD occurs secondary to genetic-environmental interactions in an immature lung. In this review, we evaluate the various clinical definitions, imaging modalities, and biomarker data that are helpful in making an early diagnosis of BPD. In addition, we evaluate recent evidence about the prevention and treatment of BPD. We discuss the invasive and non-invasive ventilation strategies and pharmacological agents used in the early, evolving, and established phases of BPD.

Abstract
Objectives: Significant resources are devoted to neonatal prolonged mechanical ventilation (NPMV), but little is known about the outcomes in those children. Our primary objective was to describe the NPMV respiratory, digestive, and neurological outcomes at 18 months corrected age. Our second objective was on the early identification of which patients, among the NPMV cohort, will need to be ventilated for ≥125 days, which corresponded to the 75th percentile in the preliminary data, and to describe that subgroup. Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, we included all children born between 2004 and 2013 who had a NPMV (≥21 days of invasive or noninvasive respiratory support reached between 40 and 44 weeks of postconceptional age). We used random forests, logistic regression with penalization, naive Bayes, and XGBoost to predict which patients will need ≥125 days of ventilation. We used a Monte Carlo cross validation. Results: We included 164 patients. Of which, 40% (n = 66) were female, and the median gestational age was 29 weeks [interquartile range (IQR): 26-36 weeks] with a bimodal distribution. Median ventilation days were 104 (IQR: 66-139 days). The most frequently associated diagnoses were pulmonary hypertension (43%), early pulmonary dysplasia (41%), and lobar emphysema (37%). At 18 months corrected age, 29% (n = 47) had died, 59% (n = 97) were free of any respiratory support, and 45% (n = 74) were exclusively orally fed. A moderate area under the ROC curve of 0.65 (95% CI: 0.54-0.72) for identifying patients in need of ≥125 days of ventilation at inclusion was achieved by random forests classifiers. Among the 26 measured at inclusion, the most contributive ones were PCO2, inspired O2 concentration, and gestational age. At 18 months corrected age, patients ventilated for ≥125 days had a lower respiratory weaning success (76 vs. 87%, P = 0.05), lower exclusive oral feeding proportion (51 vs. 84%, P < 0.001), and a higher neurological impairment (median Pediatric Cerebral Performance Category score 3 vs. 2, P = 0.008) than patients ventilated for < 125 days. Conclusion: NPMV is a severe condition with a high risk of mortality, neurological impairment, and oral feed delay at 18 months. Most survivors are weaned of any respiratory support. We identified the risk factors that allow for the early identification of the most at-risk children of long-term ventilation with a moderate discrimination.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The long-term morbidity among children with severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia who require tracheostomy (tBPD) relative to those without tracheostomy (sBPD) is not well characterized. We compared childhood lung function and neurodevelopmental outcomes in tBPD and sBPD. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective case-control study of N = 49 tBPD and N = 280 sBPD subjects in Boston Children's Hospital Preterm Lung Patient Registry and medical record. We compared NICU course, childhood spirometry, and neurodevelopmental testing. RESULT tBPD subjects were more likely than sBPD to be Black, have pulmonary hypertension, and have subglottic stenosis. tBPD subjects had lower maximal childhood FEV1 % predicted (β = -0.14) and FEV1/FVC (β = -0.08); spirometry curves were more likely to suggest fixed extrathoracic obstruction. tBPD subjects had greater cognitive and motor delays <24 months, and greater cognitive delays >24 months. CONCLUSION Compared to subjects with sBPD who did not require tracheostomy, tBPD subjects suffer from increased long-term impairment in respiratory function and neurodevelopment.
