Transition From an ICU Ventilator to a Portable Home Ventilator in Children

23 November 2020

BACKGROUND:The transition from an ICU ventilator to a portable home ventilator (PHV) for children requiring long-term mechanical ventilation is a crucial step in preparing for discharge home and may not be successful on the first attempt. A review of this process at our institution revealed that some children required multiple trials before they were able to tolerate a PHV. A protocol was developed to standardize the transition process and reduce the number of failed attempts. Key features of the protocol included a transition readiness assessment and criteria for changing to the PHV.METHODS:A retrospective chart review was completed to evaluate the… [More]

Invasive Home Mechanical Ventilation: 10-Year Experience of a Pediatric Home Care Service

23 November 2020

BACKGROUND:Children dependent on invasive home mechanical ventilation (HMV) represent a growing population worldwide. The objective of this study was to assess the experience of 10 years of medical assistance given to pediatric patients on continuous invasive HMV at a Brazilian Home Care Service (HCS), specifically patient characteristics and predictors of outcome (ie, hospital readmission, death, and location of death).METHODS:Medical records for children on invasive HMV at the HCS between 2007 and 2016 were evaluated to collect the following data: age at admission to HCS, sex, principal diagnosis, length of hospital admission and home care period, number and cause of hospital… [More]

Effects of Zero PEEP and < 1.0 FIO2 on SpO2 and PETCO2 During Open Endotracheal Suctioning

23 November 2020

BACKGROUND:Hyperoxygenation and hyperinflation, preferably with a mechanical ventilator, is the most commonly used technique to prevent the adverse effects of open endotracheal suctioning on arterial oxygenation and pulmonary volume. However, limited data are available on the effects of oxygen concentrations < 100% and PEEP with zero end-expiratory pressure (0 PEEP) to improve oxygenation and to maintain adequate ventilation during open endotracheal suctioning. The aim of this study was to analyze the behavior of SpO2 and end-tidal CO2 pressure ( PETCO2) in open endotracheal suctioning using the 0 PEEP technique with baseline FIO2 (0 PEEP baseline FIO2) and 0 PEEP +… [More]

Home Overnight Gas Exchange for Long-Term Noninvasive Ventilation in Children

23 November 2020

BACKGROUND:The aim of CPAP and noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is to correct sleep-disordered breathing and nocturnal gas exchange. The aim of the study was to analyze the results of a systematic home pulse oximetry ( SpO2) and transcutaneous carbon dioxide ( PtcCO2) monitoring in stable pediatric subjects on long-term CPAP/NIV or screened for CPAP/NIV weaning, and the consequent interventions in the subjects with abnormal gas exchange.METHODS:The home overnight SpO2 and PtcCO2 recordings of stable pediatric subjects treated with or weaned from CPAP, NIV, or high-flow nasal cannula between January 2017 and March 2018 were analyzed.RESULTS:A total of 110 recordings, performed in… [More]
