Abstract
Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is a common modality employed to treat acute respiratory failure. Most data guiding its use is extrapolated from adult studies. We sought to identify clinical predictors associated with failure of NIV, defined as requiring intubation. This single-center retrospective observational study included children admitted to pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) between July 2014 and June 2016 treated with NIV, excluding postextubation. A total of 148 patients was included. Twenty-seven (18%) failed NIV. There was no difference between the two groups with regard to age, gender, comorbidities, or etiology of acute respiratory failure. Those that failed had higher admission pediatric risk of mortality ( p = 0.01) and pediatric logistic organ dysfunction ( p = 0.002) scores and higher fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO 2 ; p = 0.009) at NIV initiation. Failure was associated with lack of improvement in tachypnea. At 6 hours of NIV, the failure group had worsening tachypnea with a median increase in respiratory rate of 8%, while the success group had a median reduction of 18% ( p = 0.06). Multivariable Cox's proportional hazard models revealed FiO 2 at initiation and worsening respiratory rate at 1- and 6-hour significant risks for failure of NIV. Failure was associated with a significantly longer PICU length of stay (success [2.8 days interquartile range (IQR): 1.7, 5.5] vs. failure [10.6 days IQR: 5.6, 13.2], p < 0.001). NIV can be successfully employed to treat acute respiratory failure in pediatric patients. There should be heightened concern for NIV failure in hypoxemic patients whose tachypnea is unresponsive to NIV. A trend toward improvement should be closely monitored.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES There is evidence that noninvasive ventilation decreases the need for invasive mechanical ventilation. However, children with pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome who fail noninvasive ventilation may have worse outcomes than those who are intubated without exposure to noninvasive ventilation. Our objective was to evaluate the impact of preintubation noninvasive ventilation on children with pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome. DESIGN Secondary analysis of data from the Randomized Evaluation of Sedation Titration for Respiratory Failure trial. SETTING Thirty-one PICUs in the United States. PATIENTS Children 2 weeks to 17 years old with pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome receiving invasive mechanical ventilation, excluding those admitted with tracheostomies. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Of 2,427 subjects receiving invasive mechanical ventilation, preintubation noninvasive ventilation was used in 995 (41%). Compared with subjects without preintubation noninvasive ventilation use, subjects with preintubation noninvasive ventilation use were more likely to have a history of seizures (10% vs 8%; p = 0.04) or cancer (11% vs 6%; p < 0.001) and have moderate or severe pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome by the end of their first full day of invasive mechanical ventilation (68% vs 60%; p < 0.001). Adjusting for age, severity of illness on PICU admission, and baseline functional status, preintubation noninvasive ventilation use resulted in longer invasive mechanical ventilation duration (median 7.0 vs 6.0 d), longer PICU (10.8 vs 8.9 d), and hospital (17 vs 14 d) lengths of stay, and higher 28-day (5% vs 4%) and 90-day (8% vs 5%) inhospital mortalities (all comparisons p < 0.001). Longer duration of noninvasive ventilation before intubation was associated with worse outcomes. CONCLUSIONS In children with pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome, preintubation noninvasive ventilation use is associated with worse outcomes when compared with no preintubation noninvasive ventilation use. These data can be used to inform the design of clinical studies to evaluate best noninvasive ventilation practices in children with pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe and analyze the characteristics and the early risk factors for mortality of noninvasive ventilation (NIV) in critically ill children. STUDY DESIGN A multicenter, prospective, observational 2-year study carried out with critically ill patients (1 month - 18 years of age) who needed NIV. Clinical data and NIV parameters during the first 12 h of admission were collected. A multilevel mixed-effects logistic regression was performed to identify mortality risk factors. RESULTS A total of 781 patients (44.2 ± 57.7 months) were studied (57.8% male). Of them, 53.7% had an underlying condition, and 47.1% needed NIV for lower airway respiratory pathologies. Bi-level NIV was the initial support in 78.2% of the patients. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) was used more in younger patients (33.7%) than in older ones (9.7%; p < .001). About 16.7% had to be intubated and 6.2% died. The risk factors for mortality were immunodeficiency (odds ratio [OR] = 11.79; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.95-47.13); cerebral palsy (OR = 5.86; 95% CI = 1.94-17.65); presence of apneas on admission (OR = 5.57; 95% CI = 2.13-14.58); tachypnea 6 h after NIV onset (OR = 2.59; 95% CI = 1.30-6.94); and NIV failure (OR = 6.54; 95% CI = 2.79-15.34). CONCLUSION NIV is used with great variability in types of support. Younger children receive CPAP more frequently than older children. Immunodeficiency, cerebral palsy, apneas on admission, tachypnea 6 h after NIV onset, and NIV failure are the early factors associated with mortality.

Abstract
Background: To determine the effectiveness of combined noninvasive ventilation (NIV) and mechanical insufflator-exsufflator (MI-E) for acute respiratory failure (ARF) in patients with neuromuscular disease (NMD), and outcome predictors. Methods: A prospectively observational study of patients with ARF was conducted in a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). All received combined NIV/MI-E during PICU stays between 2007 and 2017. Pertinent clinical variables of heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR), pH, PaCO2, and PaO2/FiO2 ratio were collected at baseline and at 2 h, 4-8 h, and 12-24 h after initiating use of NIV/MI-E. Treatment success was defined as avoiding intubation. Results: A total of 62 ARF episodes in 56 patients with NMD (median age, 13 years) were enrolled. The most frequent underlying NMD was spinal muscular atrophy (32/62, 52%). ARF was primarily due to pneumonia (65%). The treatment success rate was 86%. PICU stay and hospitalization were shorter in the success group (9.4 ± 6.1 vs. 21.9 ± 13.9 days and 16.3 ± 7.8 vs. 33.6 ± 17.9 days, respectively; both p < 0.05). HR, RR, pH, and PaCO2 showed a progressive improvement, particularly after 4 h following successful NIV/MI-E treatment. RR decrease at 4 h, and pH increase and PaCO2 decrease at 4-8 h might predict success of NIV/MI-E treatment. The multivariate analysis identified PaCO2 at 4-8 h of 58.0 mmHg as an outcome predictor of NIV/MI-E treatment. Conclusions: Applying combined NIV/MI-E in the acute care setting is an efficient means of averting intubation in NMD patients with ARF. Clinical features within 8 h of the institution may predict treatment outcome. The reviews of this paper are available via the supplemental material section.

Abstract
Children with neuromuscular disorder (NMD) usually have pulmonary involvement characterized by weakened respiratory muscles, insufficient coughing, and inability to clear airway secretions. When suffering from community-acquired pneumonia, these patients are more likely to develop acute respiratory failure (ARF). Therefore, recurrent pneumonias leading to acute on chronic respiratory failure accounts for a common cause of mortality in children with NMD. For many years, noninvasive ventilation (NIV) has been regarded as a life-prolonging tool and has been used as the preferred intervention for treating chronic hypoventilation in patients with advanced NMD. However, an increasing number of studies have proposed the utility of NIV as first-line management for acute on chronic respiratory failure in NMD patients. The benefits of NIV support in acute settings include avoiding invasive mechanical ventilation, shorter intensive care unit or hospital stays, facilitation of extubation, and improved overall survival. As the difficulty in clearing respiratory secretions is considered a significant risk factor attributing to NIV failure, combined coughing assistance of mechanical insufflator-exsufflator (MI-E) with NIV has been recommended the treatment of acute neuromuscular respiratory failure. Several recent studies have demonstrated the feasibility and effectiveness of combined NIV and MI-E in treating ARF of children with NMD in acute care settings. However, to date, only one randomized controlled study has investigated the efficacy of NIV in childhood ARF, but subjects with underlying NMD were excluded. It reflects the need for more studies to elaborate evidence-based practice, especially the combined NIV and MI-E use in children with acute neuromuscular respiratory failure. In this article, we will review the feasibility, effectiveness, predictors of outcome, and perspectives of novel applications of combined NIV and MI-E in the treatment of ARF in NMD children.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To describe the diversity in practice in non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in European pediatric intensive care units (PICUs). WORKING HYPOTHESIS No information about the use of NIV in Pediatrics across Europe is currently available, and there might be a wide variability regarding the approach. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional electronic survey. METHODOLOGY The survey was distributed to the ESPNIC mailing list and to researchers in different European centers. RESULTS One hundred one units from 23 countries participated. All respondent units used NIV. Almost all PICUs considered NIV as initial respiratory support (99.1%), after extubation (95.5% prophylactically, 99.1% therapeutically), and 77.5% as part of palliative care. Overall NIV use outside the PICUs was 15.5% on the ward, 20% in the emergency department, and 36.4% during transport. Regarding respiratory failure cause, NIV was delivered in pneumonia (97.3%), bronchiolitis (94.6%), bronchospasm (75.2%), acute pulmonary edema (84.1%), upper airway obstruction (76.1%), and in acute respiratory distress syndrome (91% if mild, 53.1% if moderate, and 5.3% if severe). NIV use in asthma was less frequent in Northern European units in comparison to Central and Southern European PICUs (P = 0.007). Only 47.7% of the participants had a written protocol about NIV use. Bilevel NIV was applied mostly through an oronasal mask (44.4%), and continuous positive airway pressure through nasal cannulae (39.8%). If bilevel NIV was required, 62.3% reported choosing pressure support (vs assisted pressure-controlled ventilation) in infants; and 74.5% in older children. CONCLUSIONS The present study shows that NIV is a widespread technique in European PICUs. Practice across Europe is variable.

Recommendations for mechanical ventilation of critically ill children from the Paediatric Mechanical Ventilation Consensus Conference (PEMVECC). Intensive Care Med 2017; 43:1764-1780. [PMID: 28936698 PMCID: PMC5717127 DOI: 10.1007/s00134-017-4920-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 185] [Impact Index Per Article: 26.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2017] [Accepted: 08/22/2017] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
Purpose Much of the common practice in paediatric mechanical ventilation is based on personal experiences and what paediatric critical care practitioners have adopted from adult and neonatal experience. This presents a barrier to planning and interpretation of clinical trials on the use of specific and targeted interventions. We aim to establish a European consensus guideline on mechanical ventilation of critically children. Methods The European Society for Paediatric and Neonatal Intensive Care initiated a consensus conference of international European experts in paediatric mechanical ventilation to provide recommendations using the Research and Development/University of California, Los Angeles, appropriateness method. An electronic literature search in PubMed and EMBASE was performed using a combination of medical subject heading terms and text words related to mechanical ventilation and disease-specific terms. Results The Paediatric Mechanical Ventilation Consensus Conference (PEMVECC) consisted of a panel of 15 experts who developed and voted on 152 recommendations related to the following topics: (1) general recommendations, (2) monitoring, (3) targets of oxygenation and ventilation, (4) supportive measures, (5) weaning and extubation readiness, (6) normal lungs, (7) obstructive diseases, (8) restrictive diseases, (9) mixed diseases, (10) chronically ventilated patients, (11) cardiac patients and (12) lung hypoplasia syndromes. There were 142 (93.4%) recommendations with “strong agreement”. The final iteration of the recommendations had none with equipoise or disagreement. Conclusions These recommendations should help to harmonise the approach to paediatric mechanical ventilation and can be proposed as a standard-of-care applicable in daily clinical practice and clinical research.

Abstract
Mechanical ventilation is often required to support the recovery of critically ill children. Critical care nurses must understand the unique needs of the children and design supportive care that is sensitive to their changing physiology, developmental stage, and socioemotional needs. This article describes the unique considerations in providing care for mechanically ventilated children. It addresses invasive and noninvasive ventilation and the needs of long-term ventilated children and family in critical care. Supportive nursing care that is aligned with the unique needs of the critically ill child is paramount to ensuring best outcomes for these vulnerable patients.
