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.

Noninvasive Neurally Adjusted Ventilation versus Nasal Continuous or Intermittent Positive Airway Pressure for Preterm Infants: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. CHILDREN (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 10:1935. [PMID: 38136137 PMCID: PMC10741611 DOI: 10.3390/children10121935] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2023] [Revised: 12/08/2023] [Accepted: 12/13/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023]
Abstract
The noninvasive neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NIV-NAVA) is a newly developed noninvasive ventilation technique with promising clinical and ventilatory outcomes for preterm infants. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to investigate whether NIV-NAVA has better clinical and ventilatory outcomes than nasal continuous airway pressure (NCPAP) or noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPP) on premature infants. MEDLINE, Embase, and CENTRAL were searched, and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compared NIV-NAVA with NCPAP or NIPP for preterm infants (gestational age: <37 weeks) were included. We evaluated the following outcomes in the neonatal intensive care unit: the desaturation rate, failure of noninvasive modality requiring intubation when received as the primary mode or the need for re-intubation after extubation from mechanical ventilation in the secondary mode (weaning), length of stay, and fraction of inspired oxygen. The mean difference and risk ratio were used to represent continuous and dichotomous outcomes, respectively. We included nine RCTs involving 339 preterm infants overall. NIV-NAVA showed similar clinical and ventilatory outcomes to NCPAP or NIPP, except for the maximum diaphragmatic electrical activity. The rate of failure of the noninvasive modality was not statistically different between NIV-NAVA and NCPAP. The pooled estimates for the maximum electrical activity were significantly reduced in NIV-NAVA compared with those in NIPP. The findings suggest that NIV-NAVA may be as safe and effective as NCPAP and NIPP for preterm neonates, particularly those who may not tolerate these alternative noninvasive methods. However, further trials are recommended for greater evidence.

Abstract
Patient-ventilator asynchrony is a major issue during non-invasive ventilation and may lead to discomfort and treatment failure. Therefore, the identification and prompt management of asynchronies are of paramount importance during non-invasive ventilation (NIV), in both pediatric and adult populations. In this review, we first define the different forms of asynchronies, their classification, and the method of quantification. We, therefore, describe the technique to properly detect patient-ventilator asynchronies during NIV in pediatric and adult patients with acute respiratory failure, separately. Then, we describe the actions that can be implemented in an attempt to reduce the occurrence of asynchronies, including the use of non-conventional modes of ventilation. In the end, we analyzed what the literature reports on the impact of asynchronies on the clinical outcomes of infants, children, and adults.

Abstract
Neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) and non-invasive (NIV)-NAVA are innovative modes of synchronized and proportional respiratory support. They can synchronize with the patients' breathing and promote patient comfort. Both techniques are increasingly being used these years, however experience with their use in newborns and premature infants in Taiwan is relatively few. Because increasing evidence supports the use of NAVA and NIV-NAVA in newborns and premature infants requiring respiratory assist to achieve better synchrony, the aim of this article is to discuss whether NAVA can provide better synchronization and comfort for ventilated newborns and premature babies. In a review of recent literature, we found that NAVA and NIV-NAVA appear to be superior to conventional invasive and non-invasive ventilation. Nevertheless, some of the benefits are controversial. For example, treatment failure in premature infants is common due to insufficient triggering of electrical activity of the diaphragm (EAdi) and frequent apnea, highlighting the differences between premature infants and adults in settings and titration. Further, we suggest how to adjust the settings of NAVA and NIV-NAVA in premature infants to reduce clinical adverse events and extubation failure. In addition to assist in the use of NAVA, EAdi can also serve as a continuous and real-time monitor of vital signs, assisting physicians in the administration of sedatives, evaluation of successful extubation, and as a reference for the patient's respiratory condition during special procedures.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether noninvasive-neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NIV-NAVA) decrease respiratory efforts compared to nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) during the first hours of life. METHODS Twenty infants born between 28+0 and 31+6 weeks were randomized to NIV-NAVA or NCPAP. Positive end-expiratory pressure was constantly kept at 6 cmH2O for both groups and the NAVA level was 1.0 cmH2O/µV for NIV-NAVA group. The electrical activity of diaphragm (Edi) were recorded for the first two hours. RESULTS Peak and minimum Edi decreased similarly in both groups (P = 0.98 and P = 0.59, respectively). Leakages were higher in the NIV-NAVA group than in the NCPAP group (P < 0.001). The neural apnea defined as a flat Edi for ≥ 5 s were less frequent in NIV-NAVA group than in NCPAP group (P = 0.046). CONCLUSIONS Immediately applied NIV-NAVA in premature infants did not reduce breathing effort, measured as peak Edi. However, NIV-NAVA decreased neural apneic episodes compared to NCPAP.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the effects of noninvasive neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NIV-NAVA) to nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) in achieving successful extubation in preterm infants. STUDY DESIGN This prospective, single-center, randomized controlled trial enrolled preterm infants born at <30 weeks of gestation who received invasive ventilation. Participants were assigned at random to either NIV-NAVA or NCPAP after their first extubation from invasive ventilation. The primary outcome of the study was extubation failure within 72 hours of extubation. Electrical activity of the diaphragm (Edi) values were collected before extubation and at 1, 4, 12, and 24 hours after extubation. RESULTS A total of 78 infants were enrolled, including 35 infants in the NIV-NAVA group and 35 infants in the NCPAP group. Extubation failure within 72 hours of extubation was higher in the NCPAP group than in the NIV-NAVA group (28.6% vs 8.6%; P = .031). The duration of respiratory support and incidence of severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia were similar in the 2 groups. Peak and swing Edi values were comparable before and at 1 hour after extubation, but values at 4, 12, and 24 hours after extubation were lower in the NIV-NAVA group compared with the NCPAP group. CONCLUSIONS In the present trial, NIV-NAVA was more effective than NCPAP in preventing extubation failure in preterm infants. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02590757.

Abstract
Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is the major cause of respiratory failure in preterm infants due to immature lung development and surfactant deficiency. Although the concepts and methods of managing respiratory problems in neonates have changed continuously, determining appropriate respiratory treatment with minimal ventilation-induced lung injury and complications is crucially important. This review summarizes neonatal respiratory therapy's advances and available strategies (i.e., exogenous surfactant therapy, noninvasive ventilation, and different ventilation modes), focusing on RDS management.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Synchronization of non-invasive ventilation is challenging in extremely premature infants. We compared patient-ventilator synchrony between non-invasive neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NIV-NAVA) using transdiaphragmatic (Edi) catheter and synchronized intermittent positive airway pressure (SiPAP) using an abdominal trigger. METHODS This study was a monocentric, randomized, crossover trial in premature infants born before 28 weeks of gestation, aged 3 days or more, and below 32 weeks postmenstrual age. NIV-NAVA and SiPAP were applied in a random order for 2 h with analysis of data from the second hour. The primary outcome was the asynchrony index. RESULTS Fourteen patients were included (median [IQR] gestational age at birth 25.6 (25.3-26.4) weeks, median [IQR] birth weight 755 [680-824] g, median [IQR] postnatal age 26.5 [19.8-33.8] days). The median (IQR) asynchrony index was significantly lower in NIV-NAVA versus SiPAP (49.9% [44.1-52.6] vs. 85.8% [74.2-90.9], p < 0.001). Ineffective efforts and auto-triggering were significantly less frequent in NIV-NAVA versus SiPAP (3.0% vs. 32.0% p < 0.001 and 10.0% vs. 26.6%, p = 0.004, respectively). Double triggering was significantly less frequent in SiPAP versus NIV-NAVA (0.0% vs. 9.0%, p < 0.001). No significant difference was observed for premature cycling and late cycling. Peak Edi and swing Edi were significantly lower in NIV-NAVA as compared to SiPAP (7.7 [6.1-9.9] vs. 11.0 [6.7-14.5] μV, p = 0.006; 5.4 [4.2-7.6] vs. 7.6 [4.3-10.8] μV, p = 0.007, respectively). No significant difference was observed between NIV-NAVA and SiPAP for heart rate, respiratory rate, COMFORTneo scores, apnoea, desaturations, or bradycardias. DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION NIV-NAVA markedly improves patient-ventilator synchrony as compared to SiPAP in extremely premature infants.

Improved nutritional outcomes with neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) in premature infants: a single tertiary neonatal unit's experience. Eur J Pediatr 2022; 181:2155-2159. [PMID: 35194652 PMCID: PMC9056442 DOI: 10.1007/s00431-022-04411-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2021] [Revised: 01/13/2022] [Accepted: 02/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
During neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA)/non-invasive (NIV) NAVA, a modified nasogastric feeding tube with electrodes, monitors the electrical activity of the diaphragm (Edi). The Edi waveform determines the delivered pressure from the ventilator. Infant breathing is in synchrony with the ventilator and therefore is more comfortable with less work of breathing. Our aim was to determine if infants on NAVA had improved nutritional outcomes compared to infants managed on conventional respiratory support. A retrospective study was undertaken. Infants on NAVA were matched with two conventionally ventilated controls by gestational age, birth weight, sex, antenatal steroid exposure, and whether inborn or transferred ex utero. NAVA/NIV-NAVA was delivered by the SERVO-n® Maquet Getinge group ventilator. Conventional ventilation included pressure and volume control ventilation, and non-invasive ventilation included nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation, triggered biphasic positive airway pressure, continuous positive airway pressure and heated humidified high flow oxygen. The measured outcome was discharge weight z scores. Eighteen "NAVA" infants with median gestational age (GA) of 25.3 (23.6-27.1) weeks and birth weight (BW) of 765 (580-1060) grams were compared with 36 controls with GA 25.2 (23.4-28) weeks (p = 0.727) and BW 743 (560-1050) grams (p = 0.727). There was no significant difference in the rates of postnatal steroids (61% versus 36% p = 0.093), necrotising enterocolitis (22% versus 11% p = 0.279) in the NAVA/NIV NAVA compared to the control group. There were slightly more infants who were breastfed at discharge in the NAVA/NIV NAVA group compared to controls: breast feeds (77.8% versus 58.3%), formula feeds (11.1% versus 30.6%), and mixed feeds (11.1% versus 11.1%), but this difference was not significant (p = 0.275). There was no significant difference in the birth z scores 0.235 (-1.56 to 1.71) versus -0.05 (-1.51 to -1.02) (p = 0.248) between the groups. However, the discharge z score was significantly in favour of the NAVA/NIV-NAVA group: -1.22 (-2.66 to -0.12) versus -2.17 (-3.79 to -0.24) in the control group (p = 0.033).Conclusion: The combination of NAVA/NIV-NAVA compared to conventional invasive and non-invasive modes may contribute to improved nutritional outcomes in premature infants.

Abstract
Patient-ventilator asynchrony is very common in newborns. Achieving synchrony is quite challenging because of small tidal volumes, high respiratory rates, and the presence of leaks. Leaks also cause unreliable monitoring of respiratory metrics. In addition, ventilator adjustment must take into account that infants have strong vagal reflexes and demonstrate central apnea and periodic breathing, with a high variability in breathing pattern. Neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) is a mode of ventilation whereby the timing and amount of ventilatory assist is controlled by the patient's own neural respiratory drive. As NAVA uses the diaphragm electrical activity (Edi) as the controller signal, it is possible to deliver synchronized assist, both invasively and noninvasively (NIV-NAVA), to follow the variability in breathing pattern, and to monitor patient respiratory drive, independent of leaks. This article provides an updated review of the physiology and the scientific literature pertaining to the use of NAVA in children (neonatal and pediatric age groups). Both the invasive NAVA and NIV-NAVA publications since 2016 are summarized, as well as the use of Edi monitoring. Overall, the use of NAVA and Edi monitoring is feasible and safe. Compared with conventional ventilation, NAVA improves patient-ventilator interaction, provides lower peak inspiratory pressure, and lowers oxygen requirements. Evidence from several studies suggests improved comfort, less sedation requirements, less apnea, and some trends toward reduced length of stay and more successful extubation.

STUDY DESIGN An observational crossover study with a convenience sample of 19 infants born before 30 gestational weeks. Study parameters were recorded during 3-h periods of both NAVA and conventional ventilation. The proportion of time peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2 ) and cerebral regional oxygen saturation (cRSO2 ) were within their target ranges, plus the number and severity of desaturation episodes were analyzed. In addition, electrical activity of the diaphragm (Edi), neural respiratory rates, and peak inspiratory pressures (PIPs) were recorded. RESULTS Infants were born at a median age of 264/7 gestational weeks (range: 230/7 -293/7 ); the study was performed at a median age of 20 days (range: 1-82). The proportion of time SpO2 was within the target range, the number of peripheral desaturations or cRSO2 did not differ between the modes. However, the desaturation severity index was lower (131 vs. 152; p = .03) and fewer manual supplemental oxygen adjustments (1.3 vs. 2.2/h; p = .006) were needed during the period of NAVA ventilation following conventional ventilation. The mean Edi (8.1 vs. 11.4 µV; p < .006) and PIP values (14.9 vs. 19.1; p < .001) were lower during the NAVA mode. CONCLUSIONS Although NAVA ventilation did not increase the proportion of time with optimal saturation, it was associated with decreased diaphragmatic activity, lower PIPs, less severe hypoxemic events, and fewer manual oxygen adjustments in very preterm infants.

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
Due to its unique properties, helium–oxygen (heliox) mixtures may provide benefits during non-invasive ventilation, however, knowledge regarding the effects of such therapy in premature infants is limited. This is the first report of heliox non-invasive neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NIV-NAVA) ventilation applied in neonates born ≤ 32 weeks gestational age. After baseline NIV-NAVA ventilation with a standard mixture of air and oxygen, heliox was introduced for 3 h, followed by 3 h of air-oxygen. Heart rate, peripheral capillary oxygen saturation, cerebral oxygenation, electrical activity of the diaphragm (Edi) and selected ventilatory parameters (e.g., respiratory rate, peak inspiratory pressure) were continuously monitored. We found that application of heliox NIV-NAVA in preterm infants was feasible and associated with a prompt and significant decrease of Edi suggesting reduced respiratory effort, while all other parameters were stable throughout the study, and had similar values during heliox and air-oxygen ventilation. This therapy may potentially enhance the efficacy of non-invasive respiratory support in preterm neonates and reduce the number of infants progressing to ventilatory failure.

Abstract
Introduction: Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) is a common lung disease in the neonatal period. The infants are mostly premature, with a high mortality rate and many complications. Currently, respiratory support therapy is still one of the primary treatment measures for RDS in preterm infants. There are 22 modes of ventilation currently in use.Areas covered: We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) in the Cochrane Library, EMBASE, MEDLINE, CINAHL, and Web of Science by using a combination of Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) and text words. The search time limit is set from the establishment of the above-mentioned databases to August 2020.Expert opinion: In total, 37 randomized controlled trials were included for the network meta-analysis, which consisted of 5,101 patients who received one of 22 ventilation modes. The results of the network meta-analysis showed that the Volume-Control (by adjusting tidal volume) ventilation mode is the most successful in reducing the mortality of preterm infants with RDS, followed by Synchronized Intermittent Mechanical Ventilation and Volume Guaranteed Ventilation. This network meta-analysis highlights the variability in techniques within treatment of acute respiratory distress syndrome in premature infants and compares different ventilation strategies. This study is registered with PROSPERO, number CRD42020213050.Conclusion: This network meta-analysis highlights the variability in techniques within treatment of acute respiratory distress syndrome in premature infants and compares different ventilation strategies. Future studies need to be rigorous in design and delivery and include comprehensive descriptions of all aspects of methodology to further enable appraisal and interpretation of results. This study is registered with PROSPERO, number CRD42020213050.

Abstract
Recent advances in neonatology have led to the increased survival of extremely low-birth weight infants. However, the incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) has not improved proportionally, partly due to increased survival of extremely premature infants born at the late-canalicular stage of lung development. Due to minimal surfactant production at this stage, these infants are at risk for severe respiratory distress syndrome, needing prolonged ventilation. While the etiology of BPD is multifactorial with antenatal, postnatal, and genetic factors playing a role, ventilator-induced lung injury is a major, potentially modifiable, risk factor implicated in its causation. Infants with BPD are at a higher risk of developing complications including sepsis, pulmonary arterial hypertension, respiratory failure, and death. Long-term problems include increased risk of hospital readmissions, respiratory infections, and asthma-like symptoms during infancy and childhood. Survivors who have BPD are also at increased risk of poor neurodevelopmental outcomes. While the ultimate solution for avoiding BPD lies in the prevention of preterm births, strategies to decrease its incidence are the need of the hour. It is time to focus on gentler modes of ventilation and the use of less invasive surfactant administration techniques to mitigate lung injury, thereby potentially decreasing the burden of BPD. In this article, we discuss the use of non-invasive ventilation in premature infants, with an emphasis on studies showing an effect on BPD with different modes of non-invasive ventilation. Practical considerations in the use of nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation are also discussed, considering the significant heterogeneity in clinical practices and management strategies in its use.

Abstract
Neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) ventilation allows patients to determine their peak inspiratory pressure and tidal volume on a breath-by-breath basis. Apprehension exists about premature neonates' ability to self-regulate breath size. This study describes peak pressure and tidal volume distribution of neonates on NAVA and non-invasive NAVA. This is a retrospective study of stored ventilator data with exploratory analysis. Summary statistics were calculated. Distributional assessment of peak pressure and tidal volume were evaluated, overall and per NAVA level. Over 1 million breaths were evaluated from 56 subjects. Mean peak pressure was 16.4 ± 6.4 in the NAVA group, and 15.8 ± 6.4 in the NIV-NAVA group (t test, p < 0.001). Mean tidal volume was 3.5 ± 2.7 ml/kg.Conclusion:In neonates on NAVA, most pressures and volumes were within or lower than recommended ranges with pressure-limited or volume-guarantee ventilation. What is known: • Limiting peak inspiratory pressures or tidal volumes are the main strategies to minimize ventilator-induced lung injury in neonates. Neurally adjusted ventilatory assist allows neonates to regulate their own peak inspiratory pressures and tidal volumes on a breath-to-breath basis using neural feedback. What is new: • When neonates chose the size of their breaths based on neural feedback, the majority of peak inspiratory pressures and tidal volumes were within or lower than the recommended peak inspiratory pressure or tidal volume ranges with pressure-limited or volume guarantee ventilation.

Abstract
Mechanical ventilation is a lifesaving intervention in critically ill preterm and term neonates. However, it has the potential to cause significant damage to the lungs resulting in long-term complications. Understanding the pathophysiological process and having a good grasp of the basic concepts of conventional and high-frequency ventilation is essential for any medical or allied healthcare practitioner involved in the neonates' respiratory management. This review aims to describe the various types and modes of ventilation usually available in neonatal units. It also describes recommendations of an individualized disease-based approach to mechanical ventilation strategies implemented in the authors' institutions.

Abstract
Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) devices using variable (vf-) and continuous (cf-) flow or synchronized nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (s-NIPPV) are used to prevent or treat intermittent hypoxia (IH) in preterm infants. Results concerning which is most effective vary. We aimed to investigate the effect of s-NIPPV and vf-NCPAP compared to cf-NCPAP on the rate of IH episodes. Preterm infants with a gestational age of 24.9–29.7 weeks presenting with IH while being treated with cf-NCPAP were monitored for eight hours, then randomized to eight hours of treatment with vf-NCPAP or s-NIPPV. Data from 16 infants were analyzed. Due to an unexpectedly low sample size, the results were only reported descriptively. No relevant changes in the rate of IH events were detected between cf- vs. vf-NCPAP or between cf-NCPAP vs. s-NIPPV. Although limited by its small sample size, s-NIPPV, vf- and cf-NCPAP seemed to be similarly effective in the treatment of IH in these infants.

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.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the association between the use of nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) or nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) with the development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). METHODS This is a single center retrospective cohort analysis of infants born at ≤1000 grams and ≤28 weeks gestation with respiratory distress treated with nCPAP or NIPPV. Groups were compared using Student's t test or chi-square, and associations estimated by logistic regression. RESULTS Compared to nCPAP, infants who received NIPPV had a higher incidence of moderate to severe (M-S) BPD (84.2 vs 65.5%, p = 0.044) and death or severe BPD (75.0 vs 47.6%, p = 0.003). Each day on NIPPV was associated with an increased risk of M-S BPD (OR 1.08, p < 0.001) and an increased risk of death or severe BPD (OR 1.03, p = 0.006). After adjusting for days on oxygen, ventilator days, and days on all respiratory support, the odds of developing M-S BPD increased by 4.9% for each additional week on NIPPV (CI 2.1-7.7%, p = .0001). CONCLUSION In this cohort, use of NIPPV was associated with an increased risk for developing BPD when compared to infants receiving nCPAP, and each additional day on NIPPV carried significant increased risk for developing BPD.

Abstract
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is the most common complication of pre-term birth with long lasting sequelae. Since its first description more than 50 years ago, many large randomized controlled trials have been conducted, aiming to improve evidence-based knowledge on the optimal strategies to prevent and treat BPD. However, most of these intervention studies have been performed on a population level without regard for the variation in clinical and biological diversity (e.g., gestational age, ethnicity, gender, or disease progression) between patients that is driven by the complex interaction of genetic pre-disposition and environmental exposures. Nevertheless, clinicians provide daily care such as lung protective interventions on an individual basis every day despite the fact that research supporting individualized or precision medicine for monitoring or treating pre-term lungs is immature. This narrative review summarizes four potential developments in pulmonary research that might facilitate the process of individualizing lung protective interventions to prevent development of BPD. Electrical impedance tomography and electromyography of the diaphragm are bedside monitoring tools to assess regional changes in lung volume and ventilation and spontaneous breathing effort, respectively. These non-invasive tools allow a more individualized optimization of invasive and non-invasive respiratory support. Investigation of the genomic variation in caffeine metabolism in pre-term infants can be used to optimize and individualize caffeine dosing regimens. Finally, volatile organic compound analysis in exhaled breath might accurately predict BPD at an early stage of the disease, enabling clinicians to initiate preventive strategies for BPD on an individual basis. Before these suggested diagnostic or monitoring tools can be implemented in daily practice and improve individualized patient care, future research should address and overcome their technical difficulties, perform extensive external validation and show their additional value in preventing BPD.

[PMID: 32548084 PMCID: PMC7270199 DOI: 10.3389/fped.2020.00270] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2019] [Accepted: 04/29/2020] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Majority of extremely preterm infants require positive pressure ventilatory support at the time of delivery or during the transitional period. Most of these infants present with respiratory distress (RD) and continue to require significant respiratory support in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) remains as one of the major morbidities among survivors of the extremely preterm infants. BPD is associated with long-term adverse pulmonary and neurological outcomes. Invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) and supplemental oxygen are two major risk factors for the development of BPD. Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) has been shown to decrease the need for IMV and reduce the risk of BPD when compared to IMV. This article reviews respiratory management with current NIV support strategies in extremely preterm infants both in delivery room as well as in the NICU and discusses the evidence to support commonly used NIV modes including nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP), nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV), bi-level positive pressure (BI-PAP), high flow nasal cannula (HFNC), and newer NIV strategies currently being studied including, nasal high frequency ventilation (NHFV) and non-invasive neutrally adjusted ventilatory assist (NIV-NAVA). Randomized, clinical trials have shown that early NIPPV is superior to NCPAP to decrease the need for intubation and IMV in preterm infants with RD. It is also important to understand that selection of the device used to deliver NIPPV has a significant impact on its success. Ventilator generated NIPPV results in significantly lower rates of extubation failures when compared to Bi-PAP. Future studies should address synchronized NIPPV including NIV-NAVA and early rescue use of NHFV in the respiratory management of extremely preterm infants.

Abstract
Neurally adjusted ventilatory assistance (NAVA) can overcome technical difficulties with synchronizing noninvasive ventilation breaths with the patient, a modality often used in very low birthweight infants (VLBW) with apnea of prematurity (AOP). This study is a retrospective single-center investigation into whether NAVA-synchronized noninvasive (niNAVA) ventilation is better than nonsynchronized (nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation [nIPPV]) for symptomatic apnea in VLBW infants. Nursing records of apnea, bradycardia, and/or desaturations were abstracted from the electronic medical records of 108 VLBW infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) from 2015 to 2017 who received either of the two modalities, 61 epochs of niNAVA totaling 488 days and 103 epochs of nIPPV totaling 886.5 days. niNAVA was associated with a significant reduction in the number of isolated bradycardic events/day (0.48 ± 0.14 vs 1.35 ± 0.27; P = .019) and overall bradycardias/day (2.42 ± 0.47 vs 4.02 ± 0.53; P = .042) and there were more epochs with no events with niNAVA compared with nIPPV (23.0% vs 6.8%; P = .004). These results justify a prospective trial of NAVA-synchronized noninvasive ventilation for VLBW infants with caffeine-resistant AOP.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare rates of treatment failure between the use of nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) and noninvasive neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NIV-NAVA) in infants with respiratory distress after birth. METHODS A randomized, unblinded, double-center trial was conducted in infants with birth weights (BWs) less than or equal to 1500 g and respiratory distress receiving noninvasive respiratory support for less than or equal to 48 hours of life; some infants were initially treated with minimally invasive surfactant therapy as the standard of care. PRIMARY OUTCOME need for endotracheal intubation with use of mechanical ventilation (MV) at less than or equal to 72 hours of life using prespecified failure criteria. SECONDARY OUTCOMES use of surfactant, duration of noninvasive support, duration of MV, bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and death. RESULTS A total of 123 infants were included (NCPAP group = 64 and NIV-NAVA group = 59). Population characteristics were similar between groups. No difference in the primary outcome was observed: NCPAP = 10 (15.6%) and NIV-NAVA = 12 (20.3%), P = .65. Groups were also similar in the use of surfactant (19 vs 17), duration of noninvasive support (147 ± 181 hours vs 127 ± 137 hours), BPD incidence and death. However, duration of MV was significantly longer in NCPAP group (95.6 ± 45.8 hours vs 28.25 ± 34.1 hour), P = .01. CONCLUSION In infants with respiratory distress after birth, no differences in treatment failures were observed between NIV-NAVA and NCPAP. These results require further evaluation in a larger study.

Abstract
Background Various types of noninvasive respiratory modalities that lead to successful extubation in preterm infants have been explored. We aimed to compare noninvasive neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NIV-NAVA) and nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) for the postextubation stabilization of preterm infants. Methods This retrospective study was divided into two distinct periods, between July 2012 and June 2013 and between July 2013 and June 2014, because NIV-NAVA was applied beginning in July 2013. Preterm infants of less than 30 weeks GA who had been intubated with mechanical ventilation for longer than 24 h and were weaned to NCPAP or NIV-NAVA after extubation were enrolled. Ventilatory variables and extubation failure were compared after weaning to NCPAP or NIV-NAVA. Extubation failure was defined when infants were reintubated within 72 h of extubation. Results There were 14 infants who were weaned to NCPAP during Period I, and 2 infants and 16 infants were weaned to NCPAP and NIV-NAVA, respectively, during Period II. At the time of extubation, there were no differences in the respiratory severity score (NIV-NAVA 1.65 vs. NCPAP 1.95), oxygen saturation index (1.70 vs. 2.09) and steroid use before extubation. Several ventilation parameters at extubation, such as the mean airway pressure, positive end-expiratory pressure, peak inspiratory pressure, and FiO2, were similar between the two groups. SpO2 and pCO2 preceding extubation were comparable. Extubation failure within 72 h after extubation was observed in 6.3% of the NIV-NAVA group and 37.5% of the NCPAP group (P = 0.041). Conclusions The data in the present showed promising implications for using NIV-NAVA over NCPAP to facilitate extubation.

Abstract
Non-invasive ventilation is currently the preferred respiratory support for premature infants with respiratory distress. The lung-protective effects of non-invasive ventilation should however not prompt disregard for the possible pain and discomfort it can generate. Non-pharmacological interventions should be used in all premature infants, regardless of their respiratory support, and are not detailed in this review. This review includes currently available evidence and gaps in knowledge regarding three aspects of pain management in premature infants receiving non-invasive ventilation: optimisation of non-invasive ventilation especially through the choice of positive pressure source, appropriate interface and synchronisation; sedative or analgesic drug use for strategies aiming at administering surfactant with reduction or avoidance of tracheal ventilation; risks and benefits of some analgesic and/or sedative drugs used to treat or prevent prolonged pain and discomfort during non-invasive ventilation. In spite of limited robust evidence, this overview should trigger caregivers' reflections on their daily practice.

Abstract
Endotracheal intubation and invasive mechanical ventilation have been mainstays in respiratory care of neonates with respiratory distress syndrome. Together with antenatal steroids and surfactant, this approach has accounted for significant reductions in neonatal mortality. However, with the increased survival of very low birthweight infants, the incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), the primary respiratory morbidity of prematurity, has also increased. Arrest of alveolar growth and development and the abnormal development of the pulmonary vasculature after birth are the primary causes of BPD. However, invasive ventilation-associated lung inflammation and airway injury have long been believed to be important contributors. In fact, discontinuing invasive ventilation in favor of noninvasive respiratory support has been considered the single best approach that neonatologists can implement to reduce BPD. In this review, we present and discuss the mechanisms, efficacy, and long-term outcomes of the four main approaches to noninvasive respiratory support of the preterm infant currently in use: nasal continuous positive airway pressure, high-flow nasal cannula, nasal intermittent mandatory ventilation, and neurally adjusted ventilatory assist. We show that noninvasive ventilation can decrease rates of intubation and the need for invasive ventilation in preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome. However, none of these noninvasive approaches decrease rates of BPD. Accordingly, noninvasive respiratory support should be considered for clinical goals other than the reduction of BPD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the incidence of patient-ventilator asynchrony and different types of asynchrony in preterm infants treated with non-synchronised nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (nIPPV). DESIGN An observational study was conducted including preterm infants born with a gestational age (GA) less than 32 weeks treated with non-synchronised nIPPV. During 1 hour, spontaneous breathing was measured with transcutaneous electromyography of the diaphragm simultaneous with ventilator inflations. An asynchrony index (AI), a percentage of asynchronous breaths, was calculated and the incidence of different types of inspiratory and expiratory asynchrony were reported. RESULTS Twenty-one preterm infants with a mean GA of 26.0±1.2 weeks were included in the study. The mean inspiratory AI was 68.3%±4.7% and the mean expiratory AI was 67.1%±7.3%. Out of 5044 comparisons of spontaneous inspirations and mechanical inflations, 45.3% of the mechanical inflations occurred late, 23.3% of the mechanical inflations were early and 31.4% of the mechanical inflation were synchronous. 40.3% of 5127 expiratory comparisons showed an early termination of ventilator inflations, 26.7% of the mechanical inflations terminated late and 33.0% mechanical inflations terminated in synchrony with a spontaneous expiration. In addition, 1380 spontaneous breaths were unsupported and 611 extra mechanical inflations were delivered. CONCLUSION Non-synchronised nIPPV results in high patient-ventilator asynchrony in preterm infants during both the inspiratory and expiratory phase of the breathing cycle. New synchronisation techniques are urgently needed and should address both inspiratory and expiratory asynchrony.

Abstract
Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of non-invasive neurally adjusted ventilatory assist used after INtubation-SURfactant-Extubation in preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome. Methods: We conducted a prospective observational study that included 15 inborn preterm infants at 28 (0/7) to 33 (6/7) weeks of gestation with respiratory distress syndrome in the period from April 2017 to October 2018. After INtubation-SURfactant-Extubation, infants underwent non-invasive neurally adjusted ventilatory assist. INtubation-SURfactant-Extubation failure was defined as follows: fraction of inspired oxygen requirement >0.4, respiratory acidosis, and severe apnea within 5 days after surfactant administration. Results: Two of the 15 (13.3%) infants showed INtubation-SURfactant-Extubation failure and required mechanical ventilation. No infants experienced any major complications such as pneumothorax, patent ductus arteriosus ligation, severe intraventricular hemorrhage, periventricular leukomalacia, retinopathy of prematurity, or death. Conclusion: The rate of INtubation-SURfactant-Extubation failure when non-invasive neurally adjusted ventilatory assist was used after INtubation-SURfactant-Extubation for preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome was 13.3%. Non-invasive neurally adjusted ventilatory assist can be safely performed without severe complications for preterm infants soon after birth.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-invasive neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NIV-NAVA), a mode of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) controlled by diaphragmatic electrical activity, may be superior to other NIV as a respiratory support after extubation in preterm infants, but no report has compared NIV-NAVA with other NIV methods. We evaluated the effectiveness and adverse effects of NIV-NAVA after extubation in preterm infants <30 weeks of gestation. METHODS This retrospective study involved patients who were born before 30 weeks of gestation. We mainly used NIV-NAVA or nasal intermittent positive-pressure ventilation (NIPPV) for preterm infants as the NIV after extubation and compared these two groups. The primary outcome was treatment failure. The secondary outcomes were extubation failure and adverse events. Treatment failure was defined as a change of NIV (NIPPV was switched to NIV-NAVA, or NIV-NAVA was switched to NIPPV) or reintubation ≤7 days after extubation. RESULTS Fifteen patients were in the NIV-NAVA group, and 19 were in the NIPPV group. The gestational age of the NIV-NAVA group was younger than that of the NIPPV group (25.7 ± 2.4 weeks vs 27.3 ± 1.8 weeks). Treatment failure occurred in six cases (40%) in the NIV-NAVA group and in nine cases (47.4%) in the NIPPV group, and no significant difference was demonstrated. No significant difference in adverse events was noted. CONCLUSIONS NIV-NAVA has advantages compared with NIPPV as the NIV for premature infants after extubation. NIV-NAVA can also be used safely without a significant difference in the rate of complications compared with NIPPV.
