Impact of Heated Humidified High Flow Air via Nasal Cannula on Respiratory Effort in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.

ABSTRACT: Background: High flow nasal cannula therapy (HFNC) has been widely adopted for respiratory distress, and evidence suggests that purging dead space of the upper airway improves gas fractions in the lung. This study tests the hypothesis that HFNC with room air could be as effective as low flow oxygen in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods: Thirty-two COPD patients prescribed 1 - 2 L/min of oxygen were studied. The conditions tested consisted of a control (CTRL; no therapy), then in random order HFNC and prescribed low flow oxygen (LFO). HFNC was the highest flow tolerated up to 35 L/min without supplemental oxygen. Arterial blood gases (ABGs), respiratory rate (RR), heart rate (HR) and tidal volume (VT) were measured at the end of each condition. Results: Arterial oxygen (PaO2) was greater (p < 0.001) for LFO than both HFNC and CTRL (CTRL=57.4±6.1mmHg, HFNC=58.6±8.3mmHg, LFO=72.6±10.2mmHg). HFNC reduced RR by 11% (p<0.05) from CTRL and LFO (CTRL=20.2±3.8br/min, HFNC=17.9±3.3br/min, LFO=20.2±3.7br/min) with no differences in VT. There were no differences between arterial carbon dioxide (PaCO2) (CTRL=45.5±4.9mmHg, HFNC=45.0±5.3mmHg, LFO=46.0±3.9mmHg). Conclusions: HFNC resulted in a clinically relevant reduction in ventilatory effort with no change in ABG indicating a gas equilibrium effect of purging anatomical dead space.

Project description:ImportanceRespiratory distress syndrome and feeding intolerance are common conditions that are often associated with preterm infants. Showing similar efficacy, nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) and heated humidified high-flow nasal cannula (HHHFNC) are the most widespread noninvasive respiratory support (NRS) in neonatal intensive care units, but their effect on feeding intolerance is unknown.ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of NCPAP vs HHHFNC on high-risk preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome.Design, setting, and participantsThis multicenter randomized clinical trial involved infants who were born in 1 of 13 neonatal intensive care units in Italy between November 1, 2018, and June 30, 2021. Preterm infants with a gestational age of 25 to 29 weeks, who were suitable for enteral feeding and who proved to be medically stable on NRS for at least 48 hours were enrolled in the study within the first week of life and randomized to receive either NCPAP or HHHFNC. Statistical analysis was performed according to the intention-to-treat approach.InterventionNCPAP or HHHFNC.Main outcomes and measuresThe primary outcome was the time to full enteral feeding (FEF), defined as an enteral intake of 150 mL/kg per day. Secondary outcomes were the median daily increment of enteral feeding, signs of feeding intolerance, effectiveness of the assigned NRS, peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2)-fraction of inspired oxygen (FIO2) ratio at changes of NRS, and growth.ResultsTwo-hundred forty-seven infants (median [IQR] gestational age, 28 [27-29] weeks; 130 girls [52.6%]) were randomized to the NCPAP group (n = 122) or the HHHFNC group (n = 125). There were no differences in the primary and secondary nutritional outcomes between the 2 groups. The median time to reach FEF was 14 days (95% CI, 11-15 days) in the NCPAP group and 14 days (95% CI, 12-18 days) in the HHHFNC group, and similar results were observed in the subgroup of infants with less than 28 weeks' gestation. On the first NRS change, higher SpO2-FIO2 ratio (median [IQR], 4.6 [4.1-4.7] vs 3.7 [3.2-4.0]; P < .001) and lower rate of ineffectiveness (1 [4.8%] vs 17 [73.9%]; P < .001) were observed in the NCPAP vs HHHFNC group.Conclusions and relevanceThis randomized clinical trial found that NCPAP and HHHFNC had similar effects on feeding intolerance, despite different working mechanisms. Clinicians may tailor respiratory care by selecting and switching between the 2 NRS techniques on the basis of respiratory effectiveness and patient compliance, without affecting feeding intolerance.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03548324.

Project description:BackgroundThere is a limited evidence for humidified high-flow nasal cannula (HHFNC) use on inter-hospital transport. Despite this, its use during transport is increasing in children with respiratory distress worldwide. In 2015 HHFNC was implemented on a specialized pediatric retrieval team serving for Victoria. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of the HHFNC implementation on the retrieval team on the paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) length of stay and respiratory support use.MethodsWe performed a cohort study using a comparative interrupted time-series approach controlling for patient and temporal covariates, and population-adjusted analysis. We studied 3022 children admitted to a PICU in Victoria with respiratory distress January 2010-December 2019. Patients were divided in pre-intervention era (2010-2014) and post-intervention era (2015-2019).Results1006 children following interhospital transport and 2016 non-transport children were included. Median (IQR) age was 1.4 (0.7-4.5) years. Pneumonia (39.1%) and bronchiolitis (34.3%) were common. On retrieval, HHFNC was used in 5.0% (21/420) and 45.9% (269/586) in pre- and post-intervention era. In an unadjusted model, median (IQR) PICU length of stay was 2.2 (1.1-4.2) and 1.7 (0.9-3.2) days in the pre- and post-intervention era in transported children while the figures were 2.4 (1.3-4.9) and 2.1 (1.2-4.5) days in non-transport children. In the multivariable regression model, the intervention was associated with the reduced PICU length of stay (ratio 0.64, 95% confidential interval 0.49-0.83, p = 0.001) with the predicted reduction of PICU length of stay being - 10.6 h (95% confidential interval - 16.9 to - 4.3 h), and decreased respiratory support use (- 25.1 h, 95% confidential interval - 47.9 to - 2.3 h, p = 0.03). Sensitivity analyses including a model excluding less severe children showed similar results. In population-adjusted analyses, respiratory support use decreased from 4837 to 3477 person-hour per year in transported children over the study era, while the reduction was 594 (from 9553 to 8959) person-hour per year in non-transport children. With regard to the safety, there were no escalations of respiratory support mode during interhospital transport.ConclusionsThe implementation of HHFNC on interhospital transport was associated with the reduced PICU length of stay and respiratory support use among PICU admissions with respiratory distress.

Project description:PurposeWe evaluated the effect of heated and humidified high flow nasal cannula (HFNC) oxygen supplementation to promote regression of high-risk prethreshold retinopathy of prematurity (Hrp-ROP) in premature infants.MethodsA prospective study was designed for Hrp-ROP premature infants undergoing HFNC oxygen supplementation to evaluate its capacity for promoting ROP regression. Statistical analysis with independent samples t-tests and Fisher's exact tests was performed, and forest plots were created to illuminate the odds ratio of factors associated with ROP regression as well as HFNC complication.ResultsWith HFNC, 16 of 20 infants with Hrp-ROP experienced regression, which is higher than the natural regression rate, comparing to the data in other clinical trials (52% in the STOP-ROP study). Among four progressed ROP infants, three were treated with laser photocoagulation and one received anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy. The anti-VEGF treated patient encountered ROP recurrence one month after injection and was treated successfully by additional HFNC. No significant differences between regression and progression cases were found for gestational age, birth weight, plus disease, age for HFNC, and SO2 level. The blood saturation of oxygen was significantly increased after HFNC (92 ± 1.3% vs. 96.6 ± 0.8%, P < 0.001), while the heartbeat rate (HR) and respiratory rate (RR) had no significant differences (139.4 ± 5.4 vs. 140.6 ± 4.5, P = 0.409; 37.7 ± 2.3 vs. 37 ± 1.9, P = 0.330, respectively). The main complication of HNFC was nasal erosion associated with airflow and HFNC duration (RR = 1.8, P = 0.026; RR = 1.8, P = 0.026, respectively).ConclusionsThe progression of Hrp-ROP was significantly decreased after HFNC oxygen supplementation with slightly tolerable complication.Translational relevanceOur study suggests that HNFC can be an alternative treatment for Hrp-ROP, potentially avoiding the problems caused by other invasive treatment.
