The impact of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) on pediatric maxillary growth is a subject of ongoing research considering its increased use in the pediatric population due to technological advancements and broader indications. This review examines the existing literature, encompassing original articles, case reports, and reviews, to evaluate the effects of NIV on maxillary development and explore potential treatment options. Although the majority of studies agree on the adverse effects of prolonged NIV on maxillary development, techniques for its correction remain understudied. Introducing a novel treatment protocol, we addressed the challenge of correcting severe midfacial hypoplasia in a child with congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS) undergoing NIV therapy, thus sidestepping the necessity for osteotomies. This proposed protocol holds promise in correcting the adverse impact of NIV on maxillary growth, emphasizing the need for further exploration into innovative treatment modalities.
考虑到技术进步和适应证的扩大,无创通气(NIV)在儿科人群中的使用日益增加,其对儿童上颌骨生长的影响是一个正在进行研究的课题。本综述审视了现有文献,包括原创文章、病例报告和综述,以评估无创通气对上颌骨发育的影响,并探索潜在的治疗选择。尽管大多数研究一致认为长期无创通气对上颌骨发育有不良影响,但其矫正技术仍研究不足。我们引入了一种新的治疗方案,解决了一名接受无创通气治疗的先天性中枢性低通气综合征(CCHS)患儿严重面中部发育不全的矫正难题,从而避免了截骨术的必要性。这一提出的方案有望纠正无创通气对上颌骨生长的不利影响,强调了进一步探索创新治疗方式的必要性。
