Optimizing clinical care and training in the neonatal intensive care unit: the relationship between front line providers and physician trainees. J Perinatol 2023; 43:1513-1519. [PMID: 37580512 DOI: 10.1038/s41372-023-01749-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2023] [Revised: 07/21/2023] [Accepted: 08/01/2023] [Indexed: 08/16/2023]
Abstract
Changes in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) coverage models, restrictions in trainee work hours, and alterations to the training requirements of pediatric house staff have led to a rapid increase in utilization of front-line providers (FLPs) in the NICU. FLP describes a provider who cares for neonates and infants in the delivery room, nursery, and NICU, and includes nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and/or hospitalists. The increasing presence and responsibility of FLPs in the NICU have fundamentally changed the way patient care is provided as well as the learning environment for trainees. With these changes has come confusion over role clarity with resulting periodic conflict. While staffing changes have addressed a critical clinical gap, they have also highlighted areas for improvement amongst the teams of NICU providers. This paper describes the current landscape and summarizes improvement opportunities with a dynamic neonatal interprofessional provider team.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Significant gaps exist in the pediatric resident (PR) procedural experience. Graduating PRs are not achieving competency in the 13 ACGME recommended procedures. It is unclear why PR are not able to achieve competency, or how existing gaps may be addressed. METHODS We performed in-depth one-on-one semistructured interviews with 12 pediatric residency program directors (PPDs). The interviews were audio-recorded, and transcribed verbatim. Coding of the data using conventional content analysis led to generation of categories, which were validated through consensus development. RESULTS We identified 4 main categories, including (1) programs struggle to ensure adequate training in procedural skills for PRs, with various barriers reported; (2) programs develop individualized strategies to address challenges in procedural skills training, and multiple options are necessary; (3) PPDs face challenges defining procedural competency and standardizing expectations; and (4) expectations for PR procedural training may require modification based upon current practice environments. Solutions include simulation, procedural boot camps, and procedural/subspecialty electives. CONCLUSIONS Numerous methods to combat challenges in PR procedural training have been identified by participating PPDs, including simulation, tailoring electives, and developing institutional guidelines. However, accreditation bodies may need to update procedural expectations based on individual resident career goals and realities of current day practice.

Evaluation of three non-invasive ventilation modes after extubation in the treatment of preterm infants with severe respiratory distress syndrome. J Perinatol 2022; 42:1238-1243. [PMID: 35953535 DOI: 10.1038/s41372-022-01461-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/09/2021] [Revised: 07/05/2022] [Accepted: 07/06/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of three different modes of non-invasive post-extubation ventilation support in preterm infants with severe respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). METHODS Infants diagnosed with severe RDS after extubation were randomized to receive nasal continuous positive airway pressure ventilation (NCPAP), nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV), and non-invasive high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (NHFO). The clinical outcomes and complications of infants in different groups were recorded. RESULTS In infants less than 32 weeks, NCPAP had a significant increase in extubation failure when compared with NIPPV and NHFO, and the gastrointestinal feeding time, the numbers of apnea, and hospitalization costs in the NCPAP group were significantly higher. The incidence of complications was also higher in the NCPAP group. There was no difference in clinical outcomes and complications in infants greater than 32 weeks. CONCLUSION For infants with severe RDS less than 32 weeks after extubation, NIPPV and NHFO are more cost-effective in comparison to NCPAP.

Abstract
Background Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is a common mode of respiratory support used in neonatal intensive care units. In preterm infants, nasal CPAP (nCPAP) therapy is often delivered via soft, biocompatible nasal mask suitable for long-term direct skin contact and held firmly against the face. Limited sizes of nCPAP mask contribute to mal-fitting related complications and adverse outcomes in this fragile population. We hypothesized that custom-fit nCPAP masks will improve the fit with less skin pressure and strap tension improving efficacy and reducing complications associated with nCPAP therapy in neonates. Methods After IRB approval and informed consent, we evaluated several methods to develop 3D facial models to test custom 3D nCPAP masks. These methods included camera-based photogrammetry, laser scanning and structured light scanning using a Bellus3D Face Camera Pro and iPhone X running either Bellus3D FaceApp for iPhone, or Heges application. This data was used to provide accurate 3D neonatal facial models. Using CAD software nCPAP inserts were designed to be placed between proprietary nCPAP mask and the model infant’s face. The resulted 3D designed nCPAP mask was form fitted to the model face. Subsequently, nCPAP masks were connected to a ventilator to provide CPAP and calibrated pressure sensors and co-linear tension sensors were placed to measures skin pressure and nCPAP mask strap tension. Results Photogrammetry and laser scanning were not suited to the neonatal face. However, structured light scanning techniques produced accurate 3D neonatal facial models. Individualized nCPAP mask inserts manufactured using 3D printed molds and silicon injection were effective at decreasing surface pressure and mask strap pressure in some cases by more than 50% compared to CPAP masks without inserts. Conclusions We found that readily available structured light scanning devices such as the iPhone X are a low cost, safe, rapid, and accurate tool to develop accurate models of preterm infant facial topography. Structured light scanning developed 3D nCPAP inserts applied to commercially available CPAP masks significantly reduced skin pressure and strap tension at clinically relevant CPAP pressures when utilized on model neonatal faces. This workflow maybe useful at producing individualized nCPAP masks for neonates reducing complications due to misfit.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Extubation failure is associated with morbidity and mortality in children following cardiac surgery. Current extubation readiness tests (ERT) do not consider the nonrespiratory support provided by mechanical ventilation (MV) for children with congenital heart disease. We aimed to identify factors associated with extubation failure in children following cardiac surgery and assess the performance of two risk analytics algorithms for patients undergoing an ERT. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING CICU at a tertiary-care children's hospital. PATIENTS Children receiving MV greater than 48 hours following cardiac surgery between January 1, 2017, and December 31, 2019. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Six hundred fifty encounters were analyzed with 49 occurrences (8%) of reintubation. Extubation failure occurred most frequently within 6 hours of extubation. On multivariable analysis, younger age (per each 3-mo decrease: odds ratio [OR], 1.06; 95% CI, 1.001-1.12), male sex (OR, 2.02; 95% CI, 1.03-3.97), Society of Thoracic Surgery-European Association for Cardiothoracic Surgery category 5 procedure (p equals to 0.005), and preoperative respiratory support (OR, 2.08; 95% CI, 1.09-3.95) were independently associated with unplanned reintubation. Our institutional ERT had low sensitivity to identify patients at risk for reintubation (23.8%; 95% CI, 9.7-47.6%). The addition of the inadequate delivery of oxygen (IDO2) index to the ERT increased the sensitivity by 19.0% (95% CI, -2.5 to 40.7%; p = 0.05), but the sensitivity remained low and the accuracy of the test dropped by 8.9% (95% CI, 4.7-13.1%; p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Preoperative respiratory support, younger age, and more complex operations are associated with postoperative extubation failure. IDO2 and IVCO2 provide unique cardiorespiratory monitoring parameters during ERTs but require further investigation before being used in clinical evaluation for extubation failure.

Impact of Physician Training Level on Neonatal Tracheal Intubation Success Rates and Adverse Events: A Report from National Emergency Airway Registry for Neonates (NEAR4NEOS). Neonatology 2021; 118:434-442.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Neonatal tracheal intubation (TI) outcomes have been assessed by role, but training level may impact TI success and safety. Effect of physician training level (PTL) on the first-attempt success, adverse TI-associated events (TIAEs), and oxygen desaturation was assessed. METHODS Prospective cohort study in 11 international NEAR4NEOS sites between October 2014 and December 2017. Primary TIs performed by pediatric/neonatal physicians were included. Univariable analysis evaluated association between PTL, patient/practice characteristics, and outcomes. Multivariable analysis with generalized estimating equation assessed for independent association between PTL and outcomes (first-attempt success, TIAEs, and oxygen desaturation ≥20%; attending as reference). RESULTS Of 2,608 primary TIs, 1,298 were first attempted by pediatric/neonatal physicians. PTL was associated with patient age, weight, comorbidities, TI indication, difficult airway history, premedication, and device. First-attempt success rate differed across PTL (resident 23%, fellow 53%, and attending 60%; p < 0.001). There was no statistically significant difference in TIAEs (resident 22%, fellow 20%, and attending 25%; p = 0.34). Desaturation occurred more frequently with residents (60%), compared to fellows and attendings (46 and 53%; p < 0.001). In multivariable analysis, adjusted odds ratio of the first-attempt success was 0.18 (95% CI: 0.11-0.30) for residents and 0.80 (95% CI: 0.51-1.24) for fellows. PTL was not independently associated with adjusted odds of TIAEs or severe oxygen desaturation. CONCLUSION Higher PTL was associated with increased first-attempt success but not TIAE/oxygen desaturation. Identifying strategies to decrease adverse events during neonatal TI remains critical.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Acute lower respiratory tract infections are the top cause of nonneonatal mortality in children under 5 years of age. Since many resource-limited settings lack basic pediatric respiratory support modalities, introducing respiratory technology in these settings may improve survival. Unfortunately, data suggest that many interventions in these settings are not sustainable and that after several months, local staff are no longer comfortable using newly implemented technology. METHODS We aimed to create training modules for implementation of a standardized extubation process and high flow nasal cannula for physician and nurse providers at a tertiary care center in Lima, Peru. This training curriculum combined a didactic lecture with hands-on practicum and clinical case discussion over multiple sessions spanning a year. We created all materials in English and translated to Spanish for use. Participants completed evaluations after the training program to determine whether objectives were met. This training was intended for critical care providers but could be modified for other audiences. RESULTS A total of 76 providers (12 attending/fellow critical care physicians, 40 bedside nurses, eight pediatric residents, and 14 medical technicians) participated in this multiday training. Almost all (75, 99%) participants felt the objectives were clearly stated, and 70 (92%) felt objectives were met. DISCUSSION We have provided materials to help instructors set up and implement a standardized training curriculum with recommended timing and improvements based on feedback. The tools provided allow for adaptation depending on the instructors' primary objectives, language of audience (English or Spanish), and learners' level of training.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the current educational status of percutaneously inserted central catheter (PICC) insertion/ maintenance training for neonatal-perinatal medicine (NPM) fellows in the United States. STUDY DESIGN A cross-sectional 34-question survey was electronically distributed to NPM fellowship training program directors (PDs) in the United States. RESULTS The response rate was 81.8% (81/99 PD). Most PDs (68.5%) reported that their neonatal intensive care unit has a PICC team. Fellows were PICC team members in 72%. Only 52% of programs offer formal training in PICC placement to fellows; 61.5% of these utilize a standardized curriculum. Dedicated PICC team existence was negatively associated with formal training for PICC insertion and maintenance for fellows (42.0% with PICC team vs. 73.91% without, p = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Wide variation exists in fellow's exposure, education, and competency assessment in PICC-related activities nationally. Development of a standardized curriculum would be beneficial.

Abstract
AIM Implementation of healthcare interventions in resource-limited settings remains challenging. This exploratory qualitative study describes social and institutional factors to consider prior to nasal high flow deployment in a middle-income country. METHODS Researchers conducted eight nursing focus groups and four semi-structured physician interviews at Instituto Nacional de Salud del Niño in Lima, Peru. Participants were identified via purposive sampling. Data were transcribed, translated and coded using a rigorous and iterative process. Pertinent themes were identified using thematic analysis with Dedoose software. RESULTS Thirty-nine nurses and four physicians participated in focus groups and interviews, respectively. Participants identified five major factors: (i) Adequate training, (ii) Clinician buy-in, (iii) Resource-limited setting, (iv) Local social context and (v) Organizational change management. To create buy-in, physicians and nurses emphasised the need to recognise benefit of the intervention and agree with clinical practice standardization. Physicians and nurses described barriers specific to resource-limited settings, including unreliable supply chain, whereas nurses shared concerns about increasing workload and physician-nurse social hierarchy. Participants recognised the importance of team commitment and ongoing interdisciplinary communication for sustainability. CONCLUSION While some factors to consider prior to deployment of healthcare technology are universal, resource-limited settings have unique implementation barriers.

Abstract
Background: Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is one of the main causes of mortality in premature neonates. Treatment of these neonates with invasive mechanical ventilation has side effects such as chronic pulmonary diseases. Noninvasive ventilation, such as nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) and nasal high-frequency oscillation ventilation (NHFOV), has shown to reduce the burden of chronic lung disease. NHFOV is a promising new mode of noninvasive ventilation and may reduce the need for mechanical ventilation and reduce possible complications. In this study, we hypothesized that early NHFOV would reduce the need for invasive respiratory support in comparison to NCPAP in preterm neonates with RDS.Methods: One hundred twenty-four neonates between 28 to 34 weeks of gestational age (GA) with RDS hospitalized at Imam Khomeini Hospital, Ahvaz in 2016 were included in this randomized controlled study. The primary outcomes were the failure of NHFOV and NCPAP within 72 h after birth. The secondary outcomes were the duration of invasive ventilation and possible side effects.Results: Out of 124 neonates in this study, 63 and 61 neonates were studied in the NHFOV and NCPAP groups, respectively. There were no significant differences between NHFOV (6.5%) and NCPAP (14.1%) groups in terms of rates of primary consequences (p = .13). However, the duration of noninvasive ventilation in NHFOV was significantly less than that of NCPAP group (p = .01).Conclusion: In our study group, preterm infants from 28 to 34 weeks of GA, NHFOV did not reduce the need for mechanical ventilation during the first 72 h after birth compared to NCPAP; however, the duration of noninvasive ventilation in the NHFOV group was significantly shorter.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neonatal tracheal intubation (NTI) is an important clinical skill. Suboptimal performance is associated with patient harm. Simulation training can improve NTI performance. Improving performance requires an objective assessment of competency. Competency assessment tools need strong evidence of validity. We hypothesized that an NTI competency assessment tool with multisource validity evidence could be developed and be used for formative and summative assessment during simulation-based training. METHODS An NTI assessment tool was developed based on a literature review. The tool was refined through 2 rounds of a modified Delphi process involving 12 subject-matter experts. The final tool included a 22-item checklist, a global skills assessment, and an entrustable professional activity (EPA) level. The validity of the checklist was assessed by having 4 blinded reviewers score 23 videos of health care providers intubating a neonatal simulator. RESULTS The checklist items had good internal consistency (overall α = 0.79). Checklist scores were greater for providers at greater training levels and with more NTI experience. Checklist scores correlated with global skills assessment (ρ = 0.85; P < .05), EPA levels (ρ = 0.87; P < .05), percent glottic exposure (r = 0.59; P < .05), and Cormack-Lehane scores (ρ = 0.95; P < .05). Checklist scores reliably predicted EPA levels. CONCLUSIONS We developed an NTI competency assessment tool with multisource validity evidence. The tool was able to discriminate NTI performance based on experience. The tool can be used during simulation-based NTI training to provide formative and summative assessment and can aid with entrustment decisions.

Paediatr Respir Rev 2019; 29:31-36.

Abstract
Over 80% of the global burden of childhood deaths occur in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMIC). Of the leading causes of death, respiratory failure is common to the top three. Bubble Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (bCPAP) is a standard therapy considered safe and cost effective in high resource settings. Although high-quality trials from LMIC are few, pooled available trial data considered alongside studies from high-income countries suggest that bCPAP: (i) reduces mortality; (ii) reduces the need for mechanical ventilation; and (iii) prevents extubation failure. Wider availability and optimal use at all levels of the health care system in LMIC are important steps to improve childhood survival. Studies aimed at effectively implementing, and sustaining safe use of bCPAP in the resource limited setting of LMIC are required.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Compare the impact of initial extubation to positive airway pressure versus high-flow nasal cannula on postoperative outcomes in neonates and infants after congenital heart surgery. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study with propensity-matched analysis. SETTING Cardiac ICU within a tertiary care children's hospital. PATIENTS Patients less than 6 months old initially extubated to either high-flow nasal cannula or positive airway pressure after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass were included (July 2012 to December 2015). INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Of 258 encounters, propensity matching identified 49 pairings of patients extubated to high-flow nasal cannula versus positive airway pressure. Extubation failure was 12% for all screened encounters. After matching, there was no difference in extubation failure rate between groups (positive airway pressure 16% vs high-flow nasal cannula 10%; p = 0.549). However, compared with high-flow nasal cannula, patients initially extubated to positive airway pressure experienced greater resource utilization: longer time to low-flow nasal cannula (83 vs 28 hr; p = 0.006); longer time to room air (159 vs 110 hr; p = 0.013); and longer postsurgical hospital length of stay (22 vs 14 d; p = 0.015). CONCLUSIONS In this pediatric cohort, primary extubation to positive airway pressure was not superior to high-flow nasal cannula with respect to prevention of extubation failure after congenital heart surgery. Compared with high-flow nasal cannula, use of positive airway pressure was associated with increased hospital resource utilization. Prospective initiatives aimed at establishing best clinical practice for postoperative noninvasive respiratory support are needed.

[PMID: 29504671 DOI: 10.1111/apa.14303] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2017] [Revised: 01/18/2018] [Accepted: 02/26/2018] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
AIM We measured electrical activity of the diaphragm (Edi) to compare the breathing effort in preterm infants during weaning from respiratory support with high-flow nasal cannulae (HFNC) or nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP). METHODS This randomised cross-over study was carried out at St Olav's University Hospital, Trondheim, Norway, from December 2013 to June 2015. We gave 21 preterm infants weighing at least 1000 g HFNC 6 L/minute for four hours and nCPAP 3 cmH2 O for four hours with a one-hour wash-out period. Measurements included diaphragmatic load, Edi, vital signs and a modified Silverman-Andersen Retraction Score. RESULTS We found no differences in HFNC and nCPAP in the median Edi peak (8.0 μV versus 7.8 μV, p = 0.095), median Edi min (1.1 μV versus 1.2 μV in, p = 0.958) or mean heart rate (157 versus 159, p = 0.300) in the 21 infants who took part. The mean respiratory rate was significantly lower during HFNC than nCPAP (47 versus 52, p = 0.012). The modified Silverman-Andersen Retraction Score showed no significant differences. CONCLUSION This study of preterm infants found no difference in the breathing effort measured by Edi between HFNC 6 L/minute and nCPAP 3 cmH2 O. HFNC could replace nCPAP when preterm infants are ready for weaning.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study tested the hypothesis that longer duration of any type of respiratory support is associated with an increased rate of death or neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI) at 18-22 months. METHODS Retrospective cohort study using the Generic Database of NICHD Neonatal Research Network from 2006 to 2010. Infants were born at <27 weeks gestational age with birth weights of 401-1000 g. Respiratory support received during initial hospitalization from birth was characterized as follows: no support, only invasive support, only non-invasive support or mixed invasive, and non-invasive support. The primary outcome was death after 24 h of life or NDI at 18-22 months corrected age. RESULTS In a cohort of 3651 infants, 1494 (40.9%) died or had NDI. Cumulative respiratory support of any type beyond 60 days was associated with the likelihood of death or NDI. Infants who only received invasive support had the highest rate (89.1%), followed by those received mixed support (26.1%). Infants who received only non-invasive support had the lowest rate (7.7%). When compared to the only non-invasive support group, both invasive [OR 62.7 (95%CI 25.7, 152.6)] and mixed [OR 6.1 (95%CI 2.6, 14.4)] support groups were significantly more likely to die or have NDI. CONCLUSION Prolonged respiratory support, whether invasive or non-invasive, is associated with increased odds of a poor outcome. The proportion of infants with a poor outcome increased in a dose dependent manner by two factors: the cumulative duration of respiratory support beyond 60 days, and the extent to which invasive support is provided.

Abstract
Neonatal intubation is one of the most common procedures performed by neonatologists, however, the procedure is difficult and high risk. Neonates who endure the procedure often experience adverse events, including bradycardia and severe oxygen desaturations. Because of low first attempt success rates, neonates are often subjected to multiple intubation attempts before the endotracheal tube is successfully placed. These factors conspire to make intubation one of the most dangerous procedures in neonatal medicine. In this commentary we review key elements in the journey to improve neonatal intubation safety. We begin with a review of intubation success rates and complications. Then, we discuss the importance of intubation training. Next, we examine quality improvement efforts and patient safety research to improve neonatal intubation safety. Finally, we evaluate new tools which may improve success rates, and decrease complications during neonatal intubation.

Abstract
Although it is necessary and part of standard practice, supplemental oxygen (40-90% O2) or hyperoxia is a significant contributing factor to development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia, persistent pulmonary hypertension, recurrent wheezing, and asthma in preterm infants. This chapter discusses hyperoxia and the role of redox signaling in the context of neonatal lung growth and disease. Here, we discuss how hyperoxia promotes dysfunction in the airway and the known redox-mediated mechanisms that are important for postnatal vascular and alveolar development. Whether in the airway or alveoli, redox pathways are important and greatly influence the neonatal lung.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Respiratory problems are one of the most common causes of morbidity in preterm infants and may be treated with several modalities for respiratory support such as nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) or nasal intermittent positive-pressure ventilation. The heated humidified high-flow nasal cannula (HHHFNC) is gaining popularity in clinical practice. OBJECTIVES To address the clinical effectiveness of HHHFNC compared with usual care for preterm infants we systematically reviewed the evidence of HHHFNC with usual care following ventilation (the primary analysis) and with no prior ventilation (the secondary analysis). The primary outcome was treatment failure defined as the need for reintubation (primary analysis) or intubation (secondary analysis). We also aimed to assess the cost-effectiveness of HHHFNC compared with usual care if evidence permitted. DATA SOURCES The following databases were searched: MEDLINE (2000 to 12 January 2015), EMBASE (2000 to 12 January 2015), The Cochrane Library (issue 1, 2015), ISI Web of Science (2000 to 12 January 2015), PubMed (1 March 2014 to 12 January 2015) and seven trial and research registers. Bibliographies of retrieved citations were also examined. REVIEW METHODS Two reviewers independently screened all titles and abstracts to identify potentially relevant studies for inclusion in the review. Full-text copies were assessed independently. Data were extracted and assessed for risk of bias. Summary statistics were extracted for each outcome and, when possible, data were pooled. A meta-analysis was only conducted for the primary analysis, using fixed-effects models. An economic evaluation was planned. RESULTS Clinical evidence was derived from seven randomised controlled trials (RCTs): four RCTs for the primary analysis and three RCTs for the secondary analysis. Meta-analysis found that only for nasal trauma leading to a change of treatment was there a statistically significant difference, favouring HHHFNC over NCPAP [risk ratio (RR) 0.21, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.10 to 0.42]. For the following outcomes, there were no statistically significant differences between arms: treatment failure (reintubation < 7 days; RR 0.76, 95% CI 0.54 to 1.09), bronchopulmonary dysplasia (RR 0.92, 95% CI 0.72 to 1.17), death (RR 0.56, 95% CI 0.22 to 1.44), pneumothorax (RR 0.33, 95% CI 0.03 to 3.12), intraventricular haemorrhage (grade ≥ 3; RR 0.41, 95% CI 0.15 to 1.15), necrotising enterocolitis (RR 0.41, 95% CI 0.15 to 1.14), apnoea (RR 1.08, 95% CI 0.74 to 1.57) and acidosis (RR 1.16, 95% CI 0.38 to 3.58). With no evidence to support the superiority of HHHFNC over NCPAP, a cost-minimisation analysis was undertaken, the results suggesting HHHFNC to be less costly than NCPAP. However, this finding is sensitive to the lifespan of equipment and the cost differential of consumables. LIMITATIONS There is a lack of published RCTs of relatively large-sized populations comparing HHHFNC with usual care; this is particularly true for preterm infants who had received no prior ventilation. CONCLUSIONS There is a lack of convincing evidence suggesting that HHHFNC is superior or inferior to usual care, in particular NCPAP. There is also uncertainty regarding whether or not HHHFNC can be considered cost-effective. Further evidence comparing HHHFNC with usual care is required.

Abstract
Acute lower respiratory infections are the leading cause of death outside the neonatal period for children less than 5 years of age. Widespread availability of invasive and non-invasive mechanical ventilation in resource-rich settings has reduced mortality rates; however, these technologies are not always available in many low- and middle-income countries due to the high cost and trained personnel required to implement and sustain their use. High flow nasal cannula (HFNC) is a form of non-invasive respiratory support with growing evidence for use in pediatric respiratory failure. Its simple interface makes utilization in resource-limited settings appealing, although widespread implementation in these settings lags behind resource-rich settings. Implementation science is an emerging field dedicated to closing the know-do gap by incorporating evidence-based interventions into routine care, and its principles have guided the scaling up of many global health interventions. In 2016, we introduced HFNC use for respiratory failure in a pediatric intensive care unit in Lima, Peru using implementation science methodology. Here, we review our experience in the context of the principles of implementation science to serve as a guide for others considering HFNC implementation in resource-limited settings.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Binasal prongs are the most commonly used interface for the delivery of nasal positive airway pressure (CPAP) to preterm infants. However, they are associated with pressure-related nasal injury, which causes pain and discomfort. Nasal injury may necessitate a change in interface and occasionally damage is severe enough to require surgical repair. We aim to determine the incidence and risk factors for nasal injury in preterm infants, and to provide clinicians with strategies to effectively prevent and treat it. DESIGN We conducted a systematic search of databases including MEDLINE (PubMed including the Cochrane Library), EMBASE, CINAHL and Scopus. Included studies enrolled human preterm infants and were published prior to 20 February 2017. RESULTS Forty-five studies were identified, including 14 ra ndomised controlled trials, 10 observational studies, two cohort studies, eight case reports and 11 reviews. The incidence of nasal injury in preterm infants ranged from 20-100%. Infants born <30 weeks' gestation are at highest risk. Strategies shown to reduce nasal injury included: nasal barrier dressings (2 studies, n=244, risk ratio (RD) -0.12, 95%, CI - 0.20 to -0.04), nasal high flow therapy as an alternative to binasal prong CPAP (7 studies, n=1570, risk difference (RD) -0.14, 95% CI -0.17 to -0.10), and nasal masks rather than binasal prongs (5 studies, n=544, RR 0.80, 95% CI 0.64 to 1.00). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Nasal injury is common in preterm infants born <30 weeks' gestational age receiving CPAP via binasal prongs. Larger randomised trials are required to fully evaluate strategies to reduce nasal injury.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare triggering, breath detection and delay time of the Graseby capsule (GC) and transcutaneous electromyography of the diaphragm (dEMG) in spontaneous breathing preterm infants. METHODS In this observational study, a 30 minutes respiration measurement was conducted by respiratory inductance plethysmography (RIP), the GC, and dEMG in stable preterm infants. Triggering was investigated with an in vitro set-up using the Infant Flow® SiPAPTM system. The possibility to optimize breath detection was tested by developing new algorithms with the abdominal RIP band (RIPAB ) as gold standard. In a subset of breaths, the delay time was calculated between the inspiratory onset in the RIPAB signal and in the GC and dEMG signal. RESULTS Fifteen preterm infants with a mean gestational age of 28 ± 2 weeks and a mean birth weight of 1086 ± 317 g were included. In total, 14 773 breaths were analyzed. Based on the GC and dEMG signal, the Infant Flow® SiPAP™ system, respectively, triggered 67.8% and 62.6% of the breaths. Breath detection was improved to 99.9% for the GC and 113.4% for dEMG in new algorithms. In 1492 stable breaths, the median delay time of inspiratory onset detection was +154 ms (IQR +118 to +164) in the GC and -50 ms (IQR -90 to -22) in the dEMG signal. CONCLUSION Breath detection using the GC can be improved by optimizing the algorithm. Transcutaneous dEMG provides similar breath detection but with the advantage of detecting the onset of inspiration earlier than the GC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the epidemiology of noninvasive ventilation therapy for patients admitted to pediatric cardiac ICUs and to assess practice variation across hospitals. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study using prospectively collected clinical registry data. SETTING Pediatric Cardiac Critical Care Consortium clinical registry. PATIENTS Patients admitted to cardiac ICUs at PC4 hospitals. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS We analyzed all cardiac ICU encounters that included any respiratory support from October 2013 to December 2015. Noninvasive ventilation therapy included high flow nasal cannula and positive airway pressure support. We compared patient and, when relevant, perioperative characteristics of those receiving noninvasive ventilation to all others. Subgroup analysis was performed on neonates and infants undergoing major cardiovascular surgery. To examine duration of respiratory support, we created a casemix-adjustment model and calculated adjusted mean durations of total respiratory support (mechanical ventilation + noninvasive ventilation), mechanical ventilation, and noninvasive ventilation. We compared adjusted duration of support across hospitals. The cohort included 8,940 encounters from 15 hospitals: 3,950 (44%) received noninvasive ventilation and 72% were neonates and infants. Medical encounters were more likely to include noninvasive ventilation than surgical. In surgical neonates and infants, 2,032 (55%) received postoperative noninvasive ventilation. Neonates, extracardiac anomalies, single ventricle, procedure complexity, preoperative respiratory support, mechanical ventilation duration, and postoperative disease severity were associated with noninvasive ventilation therapy (p < 0.001 for all). Across hospitals, noninvasive ventilation use ranged from 32% to 65%, and adjusted mean noninvasive ventilation duration ranged from 1 to 4 days (3-d observed mean). Duration of total adjusted respiratory support was more strongly correlated with duration of mechanical ventilation compared with noninvasive ventilation (Pearson r = 0.93 vs 0.71, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Noninvasive ventilation use is common in cardiac ICUs, especially in patients admitted for medical conditions, infants, and those undergoing high complexity surgery. We observed wide variation in noninvasive ventilation use across hospitals, though the primary driver of total respiratory support time seems to be duration of mechanical ventilation.

Effects of Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure and High-Flow Nasal Cannula on Sucking, Swallowing, and Breathing during Bottle-Feeding in Lambs. Front Pediatr 2017; 5:296.

Abstract
The use of prolonged respiratory support under the form of high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) or nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) is frequent in newborn infants. Introduction of oral feeding under such nasal respiratory support is, however, highly controversial among neonatologists, due to the fear that it could disrupt sucking, swallowing, and breathing coordination and in turn induce cardiorespiratory events. The recent observation of tracheal aspirations during bottle-feeding in preterm infants under nCPAP justifies the use of animal models to perform more comprehensive physiological studies on the subject, in order to gain further insights for clinical studies. The objective of this study was to assess and compare the impact of HFNC and nCPAP on bottle-feeding in newborn lambs, in terms of bottle-feeding efficiency and safety as well as sucking-swallowing-breathing coordination. Eight full-term lambs were instrumented to record sucking, swallowing, and respiration as well as electrocardiogram and oxygenation. Lambs were bottle-fed in a standardized manner during three randomly ordered conditions, namely nCPAP 6 cmH2O, HFNC 7 L/min, and no respiratory support. Results revealed that nCPAP decreased feeding duration [25 vs. 31 s (control) vs. 57 s (HFNC), p = 0.03] and increased the rate of milk transfer [2.4 vs. 1.9 mL/s (control) vs.1.1 mL/s (HFNC), p = 0.03]. No other indices of bottle-feeding safety or sucking-swallowing-breathing coordination were significantly altered by HFNC or nCPAP. In conclusion, our results obtained in full-term newborn lambs suggest that: (i) nCPAP 6 cmH2O, but not HFNC 7 L/min, increases bottle-feeding efficiency; (ii) bottle-feeding is safe under nCPAP 6 cmH2O and HFNC 7 L/min, with no significant alteration in sucking-swallowing-breathing coordination. The present informative and reassuring data in full-term healthy lambs must be complemented by similar studies in preterm lambs, including mild-to-moderate respiratory distress alleviated by respiratory support in order to mimic preterm infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia and pave the way for clinical studies.

Abstract
Noninvasive support modalities have become ever more present in the care of newborns with a wide variety of disease processes. As clinicians have continued to avoid intubation and mechanical ventilation in preterm and term infants, the technologies available to support these groups have grown. Despite this rapid growth they can be broken down into 3 large categories of support, all attempting to deliver both flow and pressure to the nasopharynx supporting both phases of spontaneous breathing. The goal of all of the therapies is to stabilize a heterogeneous group of disorders with some common pathologies and avoid invasive support modalities.

Abstract
Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is used in neonates to treat extrathoracic and intrathoracic airway obstruction, parenchymal lung disease and disorders of control of breathing. Avoidance of airway intubation is associated with a reduction in the incidence of chronic lung disease among preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome. Use of nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) may help establish and maintain functional residual capacity (FRC), decrease respiratory work, and improve gas exchange. Other modes of non-invasive ventilation, which include heated humidified high-flow nasal cannula therapy (HHHFNC), nasal intermittent mandatory ventilation (NIMV), non-invasive pressure support ventilation (NI-PSV), and bi-level CPAP (SiPAP™), have also been shown to provide additional benefit in improving breathing patterns, reducing work of breathing, and increasing gas exchange when compared with nCPAP. Newer modes, such as neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA), hold the promise of improving patient-ventilator synchrony and so might ultimately improve outcomes for preterm infants with respiratory distress.

Abstract
The overwhelming majority of neonatal deaths worldwide occur in low- and middle-income countries. Most of these deaths are attributable to respiratory illnesses and complications of preterm birth. The available data suggest that non-invasive continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is a safe and cost-effective therapy to reduce neonatal morbidity and mortality in these settings. Bubble CPAP compared to mechanical ventilator-generated CPAP reduces the need for subsequent invasive ventilation in newborn infants. There are limited data on the safety and efficacy of high-flow nasal cannulae in low- and middle-income countries, requiring further study prior to widespread implementation.

Abstract
Non-invasive intermittent positive pressure ventilation can lead to esophageal insufflations and in turn to gastric distension. The fact that the latter induces transient relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter implies that it may increase gastroesophageal refluxes. We previously reported that nasal Pressure Support Ventilation (nPSV), contrary to nasal Neurally-Adjusted Ventilatory Assist (nNAVA), triggers active inspiratory laryngeal closure. This suggests that esophageal insufflations are more frequent in nPSV than in nNAVA. The objectives of the present study were to test the hypotheses that: i) gastroesophageal refluxes are increased during nPSV compared to both control condition and nNAVA; ii) esophageal insufflations occur more frequently during nPSV than nNAVA. Polysomnographic recordings and esophageal multichannel intraluminal impedance pHmetry were performed in nine chronically instrumented newborn lambs to study gastroesophageal refluxes, esophageal insufflations, states of alertness, laryngeal closure and respiration. Recordings were repeated without sedation in control condition, nPSV (15/4 cmH2O) and nNAVA (~ 15/4 cmH2O). The number of gastroesophageal refluxes recorded over six hours, expressed as median (interquartile range), decreased during both nPSV (1 (0, 3)) and nNAVA [1 (0, 3)] compared to control condition (5 (3, 10)), (p < 0.05). Meanwhile, the esophageal insufflation index did not differ between nPSV (40 (11, 61) h-1) and nNAVA (10 (9, 56) h-1) (p = 0.8). In conclusion, nPSV and nNAVA similarly inhibit gastroesophageal refluxes in healthy newborn lambs at pressures that do not lead to gastric distension. In addition, the occurrence of esophageal insufflations is not significantly different between nPSV and nNAVA. The strong inhibitory effect of nIPPV on gastroesophageal refluxes appears identical to that reported with nasal continuous positive airway pressure.

Abstract
Heated humidified high-flow nasal cannula therapy (HHHFNC) was originally described as a mode of respiratory support in premature neonates and is now increasingly used in the management of acute respiratory failure in older infants and children. Heating and humidification of gas mixtures allow comfortable delivery of flow rates that match or exceed the patient's inspiratory flow rate. Emerging evidence from observational studies suggests that the use of HHHFNC therapy may be associated with reduced work of breathing, improved ventilation efficiency and a decreased need for intubation in children with respiratory insufficiency. There are several proposed mechanisms of action, and the potential for provision of unpredictable positive distending pressure has caused concern. Randomised controlled trial evidence comparing clinical outcomes with those achieved using other forms of respiratory support is, however, awaited. We review the proposed mechanisms of actions, indications, advantages and complications of HHHFNC therapy in children and describe our approach to its use in the paediatric ward environment.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Nasal high-frequency oscillation ventilation (nHFOV) is a non-invasive ventilation mode that applies an oscillatory pressure waveform to the airways using a nasal interface. nHFOV has been shown to facilitate carbon dioxide expiration, but little is known about its use in neonates. In a questionnaire-based survey, we assessed nHFOV use in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) in Austria, Switzerland, Germany, the Netherlands, and Sweden. Questions included indications for nHFOV, equipment used, ventilator settings, and observed side effects. Of the clinical directors of 186 NICUs contacted, 172 (92 %) participated. Among those responding, 30/172 (17 %) used nHFOV, most frequently in premature infants <1500 g (27/30) for the indication nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) failure (27/30). Binasal prongs (22/30) were the most common interfaces. The median (range) mean airway pressure when starting nHFOV was 8 (6-12) cm H2O, and the maximum mean airway pressure was 10 (7-18) cm H2O. The nHFOV frequency was 10 (6-13) Hz. Abdominal distension (11/30), upper airway obstruction due to secretions (8/30), and highly viscous secretions (7/30) were the most common nHFOV side effects. CONCLUSION In a number of European NICUs, clinicians use nHFOV. The present survey identified differences in nHFOV equipment, indications, and settings. Controlled clinical trials are needed to investigate the efficacy and side effects of nHFOV in neonates.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES There is evidence that new methods of noninvasive ventilation (NIV) support have significantly changed respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) management in preterm infants. Further perspectives for neonatologists involve the assessment of different NIV strategies in terms of availability, effectiveness, and failure. This study evaluates the efficacy of 2 different NIV strategies for RDS treatment in very low birth weight (VLBW) infants: nasal synchronized intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NSIPPV), which is a modality of conventional ventilation with intermittent peak inspiratory pressure, and bilevel continuous positive airway pressure (BiPAP), not synchronized, with 2 alternate levels of continuous positive airway pressure. METHODS We conducted a 2-center randomized control study in 124 VLBW infants (<1500 g and <32 weeks of gestational age) with RDS who received NIV support (NSIPPV, n = 62; BiPAP, n = 62) within 2 hours of birth. We evaluated the performance of NIV strategies by selected primary outcomes (failure rate and duration of ventilation) and secondary outcomes. RESULTS The number of failures and duration of ventilation support did not differ between NSIPPV and BiPAP strategies (P > .05 for both). Moreover, no differences between groups were found regarding secondary outcomes (P > .05 for all). CONCLUSIONS The present data show no statistically significant differences between NSIPPV and BiPAP strategies in terms of duration of ventilation and failures, suggesting that both NIV techniques are effective in the early treatment of RDS in VLBW infants. Further randomized investigations on wider populations are needed to evaluate the effect of NIV techniques on long-term outcomes.
