Upper airway obstruction during noninvasive ventilation induced by the use of an oronasal mask.

ABSTRACT: In patients with neuromuscular disorders, no randomized studies have been performed whether nasal or oronasal masks should be preferred. Oronasal masks are often used in acute respiratory failure, while nasal masks are preferred in patients with chronic respiratory failure. However, the use of nasal masks can result in mouth leaks with implications on sleep quality. To reduce these leaks, oronasal masks have been applied during home noninvasive ventilation (NIV). Until now, upper airway obstruction during NIV has been thought to be induced by nasal obstruction, pharyngeal collapse, and/or glottis closure. We report a case indicating another cause of upper airway obstruction: use of an oronasal mask can induce obstructive events in the upper airways, possibly resulting in sleep fragmentation and decreased efficiency of NIV.

Project description:Study objectivesDrug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) using propofol is commonly used to identify the pharyngeal structure involved in collapse among patients with obstructive sleep apnea. DISE has never been compared with zolpidem-induced sleep endoscopy. We hypothesized that propofol at recommended sedation levels does not influence upper airway collapsibility nor the frequency of multilevel pharyngeal collapse as compared with zolpidem-induced sleep.MethodsTwenty-one patients with obstructive sleep apnea underwent polysomnography and sleep endoscopy during zolpidem-induced sleep and during DISE with propofol. A propofol target-controlled infusion was titrated to achieve a bispectral index between 50 and 70. Airway collapsibility was estimated and compared in both conditions by peak inspiratory flow and the magnitude of negative effort dependence. Respiratory drive was estimated by the difference between end-expiratory and peak-negative inspiratory pharyngeal pressure (driving pressure). Site and configuration of pharyngeal collapse during zolpidem-induced sleep and DISE with propofol were compared.ResultsThe frequency of multilevel collapse during zolpidem-induced sleep was similar to that observed during DISE with propofol (72% vs 86%, respectively; difference: 14%; 95% confidence interval: -12% to 40%; P = .453). The endoscopic classification of pharyngeal collapse during both conditions were similar. Peak inspiratory flow, respiratory drive (effect size: 0.05 and 0.03, respectively), and negative effort dependence (difference: -6%; 95% confidence interval: -16% to 4%) were also similar in both procedures.ConclusionsIn this pilot study, recommended propofol doses did not significantly increase multilevel pharyngeal collapse or affect upper airway collapsibility and respiratory drive as compared with zolpidem-induced sleep.Clinical trial registrationRegistry: clinicaltrials.gov; Name: Natural and Drug Sleep Endoscopy; URL: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/study/NCT03004014; Identifier: NCT03004014.

Project description:Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is generally delivered using pneumatically-triggered and cycled-off pressure support (PSP) through a mask. Neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) is the only ventilatory mode that uses a non-pneumatic signal, i.e., diaphragm electrical activity (EAdi), to trigger and drive ventilator assistance. A specific setting to generate neurally controlled pressure support (PSN) was recently proposed for delivering NIV by helmet. We compared PSN with PSP and NAVA during NIV using a facial mask, with respect to patient comfort, gas exchange, and patient-ventilator interaction and synchrony.Three 30-minute trials of NIV were randomly delivered to 14 patients immediately after extubation to prevent post-extubation respiratory failure: (1) PSP, with an inspiratory support ?8 cmH2O; (2) NAVA, adjusting the NAVA level to achieve a comparable peak EAdi (EAdipeak) as during PSP; and (3) PSN, setting the NAVA level at 15 cmH2O/?V with an upper airway pressure (Paw) limit to obtain the same overall Paw applied during PSP. We assessed patient comfort, peak inspiratory flow (PIF), time to reach PIF (PIFtime), EAdipeak, arterial blood gases, pressure-time product of the first 300 ms (PTP300-index) and 500 ms (PTP500-index) after initiation of patient effort, inspiratory trigger delay (DelayTR-insp), and rate of asynchrony, determined as asynchrony index (AI%). The categorical variables were compared using the McNemar test, and continuous variables by the Friedman test followed by the Wilcoxon test with Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons (p?<?0.017).PSN significantly improved patient comfort, compared to both PSP (p?=?0.001) and NAVA (p?=?0.002), without differences between the two latter (p?=?0.08). PIF (p?=?0.109), EAdipeak (p?=?0.931) and gas exchange were similar between modes. Compared to PSP and NAVA, PSN reduced PIFtime (p?<?0.001), and increased PTP300-index (p?=?0.004) and PTP500-index (p?=?0.001). NAVA and PSN significantly reduced DelayTR-insp, as opposed to PSP (p?<?0.001). During both NAVA and PSN, AI% was <10% in all patients, while AI% was ?10% in 7 patients (50%) with PSP (p?=?0.023 compared with both NAVA and PSN).Compared to both PSP and NAVA, PSN improved comfort and patient-ventilator interaction during NIV by facial mask. PSN also improved synchrony, as opposed to PSP only.ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03041402 . Registered (retrospectively) on 2 February 2017.
