• Majority of infants do not need help

• With lower gestational age an increasing number of infants do need help • ~80% of infants breathe and cry at birth1 • Different expiratory breathing patterns2 • Lungs after birth partially liquid-filled

• Clear lung liquid • Establish functional residual capacity • Initiate spontaneous breathing • Facilitate gas exchange

• When infants fail to breathe after birth - Need to support breathing (CPAP/PEEP and/or PPV and/or SI)

• The goals of PPV are:

• Clear lung liquid

• Establish functional residual capacity • Deliver adequate VT

• Facilitate gas exchange

• Stimulate breathing

• While minimizing lung injury

• Using <1.0 FiO2 to initiate DR resuscitation is a relatively new practice

• Lack of evidence for preterm-specific SpO2 targets

• During the first 10 min after birth of life

• Neurodevelopmental outcomes

Page 14: Respiratory support during neonatal resuscitation · Neonatal Resuscitation • Heart and Stroke Foundation Canada - New Investigator Award Funding • Canadian Institute of Health

• The TO2RPIDO compared babies <32 weeks resuscitated with either FiO2 0.21 or 1.0

• Study was closed early after recruiting only 292 patients

• Post hoc analysis

• Significantly increased hospital mortality in infants <29 (28+6) resuscitated with FiO2 0.21 (10/46 (22%) vs. 1.0 (3/54 (6%), OR, 95% CIs 0.2 (0.05 to 0.8, p=0.03)

• Data from 17 NICUs included 2326 infants

• 1244 in the OXtitrate group and 1082 in the OX100 group.

• The AOR for the primary outcome of severe neurologic injury or death was higher in the OXtitrate group compared with the OX100 group (AOR 1.36; 95% CI 1.11, 1.66)

• A similar increase was also noted when comparing infants initially resuscitated with room air to the OX100 group (AOR 1.33; 95% CI 1.04, 1.69)

• In Canadian NICUs, we observed a higher risk of severe neurologic injury or death among preterm infants of ≤27 weeks

Objectives

Page 18: Respiratory support during neonatal resuscitation · Neonatal Resuscitation • Heart and Stroke Foundation Canada - New Investigator Award Funding • Canadian Institute of Health

• Positive Pressure Ventilation (PPV) in preterm infants:

• Adjust the flowmeter to 10 L/min

• Initial peak inflating pressure (PIP) 20 to 25 cm H2O

• Use an initial PEEP of 5 cm H2O

• If PPV is required for resuscitation of a preterm newborn, it is preferable to use a device that can provide PEEP.

• Using PEEP helps the baby’s lungs remain inflated between positive pressure inflations

Recommendations

Perlman J et al. Circulation 2015

Page 19: Respiratory support during neonatal resuscitation · Neonatal Resuscitation • Heart and Stroke Foundation Canada - New Investigator Award Funding • Canadian Institute of Health

• Self-inflating bags, flow-inflating bags or T-piece devices may all be used for mask ventilation1

T-Piece preferred ventilation device2: • 31% in Ireland • 45% in Spain • 80% in Austrian • 41% in German • 20% in Swiss

Page 21: Respiratory support during neonatal resuscitation · Neonatal Resuscitation • Heart and Stroke Foundation Canada - New Investigator Award Funding • Canadian Institute of Health

• Self-inflating • Does not provide PEEP or CPAP • An attached PEEP-valve provides inconsistent PEEP

and cannot deliver CPAP • Flow-inflating bag

• Variable and operator dependent PEEP • T-piece device

• Consistent, predetermined level of PEEP and PIP • Most accurate device for delivering SI

• Shortened endotracheal tube

• Large leaks from mouth or contralateral nostril

Interface

Page 24: Respiratory support during neonatal resuscitation · Neonatal Resuscitation • Heart and Stroke Foundation Canada - New Investigator Award Funding • Canadian Institute of Health

• Mask leak >75% in 50% of analyzed resuscitations2

• PPV without PEEP

• repeated collapse and reopening of alveoli

• PPV with PEEP

• PEEP of 8 cm H2O increased oxygenation1,2

• compared to PEEP of 0 or 4 cm H2O

• Better oxygenation compared to surfactant3

• During stabilization of preterm infants use an interface which can provide PEEP

• Use at least 5cm H2O to support lung aeration

Implications for practice

Page 44: Respiratory support during neonatal resuscitation · Neonatal Resuscitation • Heart and Stroke Foundation Canada - New Investigator Award Funding • Canadian Institute of Health

• In observational studies CPAP was associated with lower rate of BPD

• Comparison of centres - BPD rates 22% vs. 4%, associated with more use of mechanical ventilation

• 261 preterm infants intubation and ventilation with nasal CPAP reported lower mortality and lower rates of administered surfactant, BPD, and IVH

• 14 tertiary level neonatal intensive care units in northern Italy - BPD rates Centres with high delivery room intubation rates had higher rates of ventilation and BPD

Intubate immediately or stabilize on CPAP?

Pooled analysis showed a significant benefit for the combined outcome of death and/or BPD at 36 weeks corrected gestation for babies treated with nCPAP

(RR 0.91 [0.84, 0.99], risk difference -0.04 [-0.07, 0.00], NNT of 25)

Page 48: Respiratory support during neonatal resuscitation · Neonatal Resuscitation • Heart and Stroke Foundation Canada - New Investigator Award Funding • Canadian Institute of Health

• Use CPAP before intubation

• Try to avoid intubation in the Delivery Room

• One additional infant could survive to 36 weeks without BPD for every 25 babies treated with nasal CPAP in the delivery room rather than being intubated.

Implications for practice

• What is the optimal PEEP/CPAP? • Difference in outcomes of 21-30% O2 vs. 100% O2? • Does DCC or cord milking compared to earlier cord

clamping affects outcomes? • Should we use a PEEP recruitment maneuver to establish

FRC?

Page 56: Respiratory support during neonatal resuscitation · Neonatal Resuscitation • Heart and Stroke Foundation Canada - New Investigator Award Funding • Canadian Institute of Health

• Two meta-analyses of SI trials have been published • 2 trials (352 infants)

• No significant difference in death during hospitalization or BPD

• 4 trials (611 preterm infants) • SI - less mechanical ventilation within 72 hours after birth (RR 0.87, 95% CI 0.77–0.97) • The absolute risk reduction was 0.10 (95% CI 0.17 to 0.03), giving a number needed

to treat of 10 • There were no significant differences in the outcomes of BPD, death

• Both analyses found an increased rate of medical or surgical treatment for PDA (RR 1.27, 95% CI 1.05– 1.54)

• Neither meta-analysis demonstrated a significant difference in air leaks, severe IVH, or other measured neonatal outcomes.

• The optimal method to safely and effectively aerate the preterm lung is unknown

• Sustained inflation is a promising alternative strategy to intermittent PPV with PEEP

• There are insufficient data to recommend sustained inflation for routine clinical use at this point

Open questions SI

Page 63: Respiratory support during neonatal resuscitation · Neonatal Resuscitation • Heart and Stroke Foundation Canada - New Investigator Award Funding • Canadian Institute of Health

• Use PEEP/CPAP

• Intubate only when needed

• People struggle with mask ventilation
