[PMID: 38516357 PMCID: PMC10955119 DOI: 10.3389/fped.2024.1293453] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2023] [Accepted: 02/27/2024] [Indexed: 03/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Prone position has been well recognized for the treatment of adult acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). We aimed to evaluate the role of prone position in the mechanical ventilation in children with ARDS, to provide evidence to the treatment and care of children with ARDS. Methods We searched the Pubmed et al. databases by computer until January 23, 2024 for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the role of prone position in the mechanical ventilation in children with ARDS. We evaluated the quality of included studies according to the quality evaluation criteria recommended by the Cochrane library. RevMan 5.3 software was used for meta-analysis. Results 7 RCTs involving 433 children with ARDS were included. Meta-analysis indicated that prone position is beneficial to improve the arterial oxygenation pressure [MD = 4.27 mmHg, 95% CI (3.49, 5.06)], PaO2/FiO2 [MD = 26.97, 95% CI (19.17, 34.77)], reduced the oxygenation index [MD = -3.52, 95% CI (-5.41, -1.64)], mean airway pressure [MD = -1.91 cmH2O, 95% CI (-2.27, -1.55)] and mortality [OR = 0.33, 95% CI (0.15, 0.73), all P < 0.05]. There were no statistical differences in the duration of mechanical ventilation between the prone position group and control group [MD = -17.01, 97.27, 95% CI (-38.28, 4.26), P = 0.12]. Egger test results showed that no significant publication bias was found (all P > 0.05). Conclusions Prone position ventilation has obvious advantages in improving oxygenation, but there is no significant improvement in the time of mechanical ventilation in the treatment of children with ARDS. In the future, more large-sample, high-quality RCTs are still needed to further analyze the role of prone position in the mechanical ventilation in children with ARDS.

Endothelial Glycocalyx Degradation Patterns in Sepsis-Associated Pediatric Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome: A Single Center Retrospective Observational Study. J Intensive Care Med 2024; 39:277-287. [PMID: 37670670 PMCID: PMC10845819 DOI: 10.1177/08850666231200162] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2023] [Revised: 08/21/2023] [Accepted: 08/24/2023] [Indexed: 09/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Sepsis-associated destruction of the pulmonary microvascular endothelial glycocalyx (EGCX) creates a vulnerable endothelial surface, contributing to the development of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Constituents of the EGCX shed into circulation, glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans, may serve as biomarkers of endothelial dysfunction. We sought to define the patterns of plasma EGCX degradation products in children with sepsis-associated pediatric ARDS (PARDS), and test their association with clinical outcomes. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed a prospective cohort (2018-2020) of children (≥1 month to <18 years of age) receiving invasive mechanical ventilation for acute respiratory failure for ≥72 h. Children with and without sepsis-associated PARDS were selected from the parent cohort and compared. Blood was collected at time of enrollment. Plasma glycosaminoglycan disaccharide class (heparan sulfate, chondroitin sulfate, and hyaluronan) and sulfation subtypes (heparan sulfate and chondroitin sulfate) were quantified using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. Plasma proteoglycans (syndecan-1) were measured through an immunoassay. RESULTS Among the 39 mechanically ventilated children (29 with and 10 without sepsis-associated PARDS), sepsis-associated PARDS patients demonstrated higher levels of heparan sulfate (median 639 ng/mL [interquartile range, IQR 421-902] vs 311 [IQR 228-461]) and syndecan-1 (median 146 ng/mL [IQR 32-315] vs 8 [IQR 8-50]), both p = 0.01. Heparan sulfate subtype analysis demonstrated greater proportions of N-sulfated disaccharide levels among children with sepsis-associated PARDS (p = 0.01). Increasing N-sulfated disaccharide levels by quartile were associated with severe PARDS (n = 9/29) with the highest quartile including >60% of the severe PARDS patients (test for trend, p = 0.04). Higher total heparan sulfate and N-sulfated disaccharide levels were independently associated with fewer 28-day ventilator-free days in children with sepsis-associated PARDS (all p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Children with sepsis-associated PARDS exhibited higher plasma levels of heparan sulfate disaccharides and syndecan-1, suggesting that EGCX degradation biomarkers may provide insights into endothelial dysfunction and PARDS pathobiology.

[PMID: 37877707 PMCID: PMC10842946 DOI: 10.1002/ppul.26726] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2023] [Revised: 10/02/2023] [Accepted: 10/07/2023] [Indexed: 10/26/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The utility of bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) in immunocompromised children is not well understood. We aim to describe the bronchoscopy diagnostic yield and complications and to investigate factors associated with diagnostic yield. METHODS This is a single-center, retrospective cohort study of 60 children with leukemia or post-hematopoietic stem cell transplant who had a bronchoscopy with BAL between 2017 and 2021. Comparisons were done with regression analysis. RESULTS Of the 60 bronchoscopies performed, 46 (77%) revealed diagnostic information: 39 (65%) identified a pathogen, 14 (23.3%) found secretions/mucus plugging, and 6 (10%) found pulmonary hemorrhage. BAL results changed antimicrobial therapy in 27 (45%) cases. Bronchoscopies were performed in the intensive care unit (27/60) or operating room (33/60), with the former having a higher diagnostic yield (96% vs. 60%, p = 0.001). Half (50%) of bronchoscopies found a new infectious diagnosis. Respiratory symptoms (n = 58, 97%), supplemental oxygen use (n = 39, 65%), and antibiotic use (n = 56, 93%) before bronchoscopy were all common. The median volume of fluid instilled during bronchoscopy was 1.3 mL/kg (interquatile range [IQR]: 0.7, 2.6). None of these factors were associated with the diagnostic yield. Complications were rare and minor with only one child having self-resolved bleeding and four children, previously in room air requiring a nasal cannula. For the 27 (45%) children on mechanical ventilation when the bronchoscopy was performed, there was no difference in ventilator settings pre- and post-bronchoscopy. CONCLUSION Bronchoscopies with BAL are useful, safe, and important in the diagnostic management of pulmonary complications in this cohort of children.
