Noninvasive respiratory support (NRS) is widely used in pediatric ICUs (PICUs). However, there is limited experience regarding the utilization of NRS in non-PICU settings. We aimed to evaluate the success rate of NRS in pediatric high-dependency units (PHDUs), identify predictors of NRS failure, quantify adverse events, and assess outcomes.
We included infants and children (> 7 d to < 13 y old) admitted to PHDU in 2 tertiary hospitals for acute respiratory distress over a 19-month period. Collected data included diagnosis, type and duration of NRS, adverse events, and the need for PICU transfer or invasive ventilation.
Two hundred and ninety-nine children were included, with a median age of 7 (interquartile range [IQR] 3-25) months and a median weight of 6.1 (IQR 4.3-10.5) kg. Bronchiolitis (37.5%), pneumonia (34.1%), and asthma (12.7%) were the most frequent diagnoses. Median NRS duration was 2 (IQR 1-3) d. At baseline, median S was 96% (IQR 90-99); median pH was 7.36 (IQR 7.31-7.41), and median P was 44 (IQR 36-53) mm Hg. Overall, 234 (78.3%) children were successfully managed in PHDU, whereas 65 (21.7%) required transfer to PICU. Thirty-eight (12.7%) needed invasive ventilation on a median time of 43.5 (IQR 13.5-108.0) h. On multivariable analysis, maximum F > 0.5 (odds ratio 4.49 [95% CI 1.36-14.9], = .01) and PEEP > 7 cm HO (odds ratio 3.37 [95% CI 1.49-7.61], = .004) were predictors for NRS failure. Significant apnea, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and air leak syndrome were reported in 0.3, 0.7, and 0.7% children, respectively.
In our cohort, we found NRS in PHDU safe and effective; however, maximum F > 0.5 post treatment and PEEP > 7 cm HO were associated with NRS failure.
非侵入性呼吸支持(NRS)在儿科 ICU(PICU)中广泛应用。然而,关于 NRS 在非 PICU 环境中的应用经验有限。我们旨在评估 NRS 在儿科高依赖病房(PHDU)中的成功率,确定 NRS 失败的预测因素,量化不良事件,并评估结局。
我们纳入了在 2 家三级医院 PHDU 中因急性呼吸窘迫而入院的婴儿和儿童(>7 天至<13 岁),时间为 19 个月。收集的数据包括诊断、NRS 的类型和持续时间、不良事件以及需要 PICU 转科或有创通气的情况。
共纳入 299 例患儿,中位年龄为 7(四分位间距 [IQR] 3-25)个月,中位体重为 6.1(IQR 4.3-10.5)kg。毛细支气管炎(37.5%)、肺炎(34.1%)和哮喘(12.7%)是最常见的诊断。NRS 中位持续时间为 2(IQR 1-3)d。基线时,中位 S 为 96%(IQR 90-99);中位 pH 值为 7.36(IQR 7.31-7.41),中位 P 为 44(IQR 36-53)mmHg。总体而言,234(78.3%)例患儿在 PHDU 中成功治疗,65(21.7%)例患儿需要转科至 PICU。38(12.7%)例患儿需要有创通气,中位时间为 43.5(IQR 13.5-108.0)h。多变量分析显示,最大 F > 0.5(比值比 4.49[95%CI 1.36-14.9],.01)和 PEEP > 7 cm HO(比值比 3.37[95%CI 1.49-7.61],.004)是 NRS 失败的预测因素。分别有 0.3%、0.7%和 0.7%的患儿出现显著呼吸暂停、心肺复苏和气胸综合征。
在我们的队列中,我们发现 PHDU 中的 NRS 安全且有效;然而,治疗后最大 F > 0.5 和 PEEP > 7 cm HO 与 NRS 失败相关。
