Noninvasive Respiratory Support Effects on Sighs in Preterm Infants by Electrical Impedance Tomography
Indian Journal of Pediatrics(2022)
摘要
Objective To evaluate differences regarding sigh frequency between noninvasive respiratory support types and to assess regional ventilation distribution, delta Z, and end-expiratory lung impedance differences before and after sighs. Methods Very low-birth-weight infants with gestational ages less than 32 wk were included in the study. Participants were split into two groups: those receiving continuous positive airway pressure and infants receiving high-flow nasal cannula therapy. Results The study enrolled 30 infants. The high-flow nasal cannula therapy group had more sighs per 10-min period than infants receiving continuous positive airway pressure ( p = 0.016). Ventilation distribution was similar in the anterior and right ventilation distribution compartments pre- and post-sigh (46.30% vs. 45.68% and 54.27% vs. 55.26%, respectively). No statistically significant increase in end-expiratory lung impedance or delta Z was observed in global or separate lung regions ( p > 0.05). Conclusion The study has demonstrated that sighs are more frequent in infants receiving high-flow nasal cannula respiratory support compared to continuous positive airway pressure. Spontaneously occurring sighs on noninvasive respiratory support due to respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) do not increase end-expiratory lung impedance or alter delta Z, and appear to have limited clinical significance. Trial Registration Prospectively registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov , reg. No. NCT04542096, reg. date 01/09/2020.
