Cardiorespiratory Effects of Nasal High Frequency Ventilation in Neonates
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The aim of the present work is to study the cardio-respiratory effects of non-invasive ventilation (nasal high-frequency ventilation and nasal CPAP) as an initial therapy of respiratory distress in moderate and late preterm infants as regard:
I. Primary outcomes:
-
Duration of the non- invasive respiratory support.
-
Need of invasive ventilation in the first 72 hours.
-
Short-term complications such as air leak syndromes, pulmonary hemorrhage, intraventricular hemorrhage, and nasal trauma.
II. Secondary outcomes:
-
Need for surfactant administration.
-
Days on invasive mechanical ventilation.
-
Days on supplemental oxygen.
-
Duration of hospital stay.
-
Mortality rate. III. Hemodynamic changes during the period of non-invasive ventilation.

Active Comparator: Group I Nasal high-frequency ventilation (NHFV) group (case group): |
Device: NHFOV
The neonate patients with respiratory distress will have nasal high frequency ventilation as an initial mode of respiratory support.
|
Placebo Comparator: Group II Nasal CPAP group (control group): |
Device: NCPAP
The neonate patients with respiratory distress will have nasal continuous positive airway pressure as an initial mode of respiratory support.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Superior vena cava blood flow in ml/kg/min [first 3 days of life]
The SVC diameter will be visualized from a high parasternal long axis view. The maximum and minimum internal diameters will be then measured. ✓ The SVC flow velocity will be visualized from a low subcostal view and the pulsed Doppler recording will be made at the junction of the SVC and the right atrium. ✓ SVC flow will be calculated using the method described by Kluckow and Evans:(27) SVC flow (ml/kg/min) = [VTI (cm/beat) × 3.14 × (mean SVC diameter2 /4) × heart rate (beat/min)] Body weight in kg 11
- Right ventricular output in ml /kg/min [first 3 days of life]
CSA (cm) (Cross sectional area of PV by long axis parasternal RV outflow view - 2D - immediately beneath pulmonary annulus - mid- systole - inner edge to inner edge) = π x (radius)2 ✓ VTI (cm) (Velocity Time Integral or Stroke Distance = Distance over which blood travels in once cardiac cycle → Long axis parasternal RV outflow view). ✓ SV (ml/beat) (Stroke Volume = CSA x VTI). ✓ Output (L/min.) COP = SV x HR.
- left ventricular output in ml/kg/min [first 3 days of life]
CSA (cm) (Cross sectional area of AV by long axis parasternal view - 2D - immediately beneath aortic annulus - mid- systole - inner edge to inner edge) = π x (radius) 2 . ✓ VTI (cm) (Velocity Time Integral or Stroke Distance = Distance over which blood travels in once cardiac cycle → Apical 5- chamber view). ✓ SV (ml/beat) (Stroke Volume = CSA x VTI). ✓ Output (L/min.) COP = SV x HR
- peak systolic velocity in anterior cerebral artery in cm/sec [first 3 days of life]
