RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: There are a trend towards increasing use of High-Flow Nasal Cannula (HFNC), outside of paediatric intensive care unit. Give this trend is necessary to update the actual evidence and to assess available published literature to determinate the efficacy of HFNC over Continuous Positive Air Pressure (CPAP) as treatment for children with severe bronchiolitis. METHODS: We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, LILACS, and COCHRANE Central, and gray literature in clinical trials databases ( www. CLINICALTRIALS: gov ), from inception to June 2022. The inclusion criteria for the literature were randomized clinical trials (RCTs) that included children < 2 years old, with acute moderate or severe bronchiolitis. All study selection and data extractions are performed independently by two reviewers. RESULTS: The initial searches including 106 records. Only five randomized controlled trial that met the inclusion criteria were included in meta-analysis. The risk of invasive mechanical ventilation was not significantly different in CPAP group and HFNC group [OR: 1.18, 95% CI (0.74, 1.89), I² = 0%] (very low quality). The risk of treatment failure was less significantly in CPAP group than HFNC group [OR: 0.51, 95% CI (0.36, 0.75), I² = 0%] (very low quality). CONCLUSION: In conclusion, there was no significant difference between HFNC and CPAP in terms of risk of invasive mechanical ventilation. CPAP reduces de risk of therapeutic failure with a highest risk of non severe adverse events. More trials are needed to confirm theses results.

RESUMO

Resumen El síndrome de apnea hipoapnea del sueño (SAHS), está asociado fuertemente a la obesidad. El objetivo de este estudio es determinar las variaciones en el índice de masa corporal (IMC) en pacientes portadores de SAHS luego de un año de tratamiento con CPAP. Resultados: 104 pacientes varones fueron incluidos en este estudio, las variables analizadas fueron: índice de apnea-hipopnea (IAH), índice de masa corporal (IMC) y cuestionario de somnolencia diurna Epworth. Respecto a los datos obtenidos de IMC, se encontró tras un año de tratamiento con CPAP un descenso significativo de esta variable (p < 0,001). En la escala de somnolencia también se obtuvo un descenso significativo. Discusión: La evidencia ha sugerido regularmente que a mayor peso corporal existirían también niveles más elevados de IAH, las mejoras en el IMC referidas en este estudio, resaltan la importancia del correcto tratamiento no solo en el control de los eventos respiratorios, sino que en la disminución del peso corporal.

Sleep Apnea Syndrome (SAS) it is highly related to obesity. The main purpose of this study is to determine the variation between Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI) and Body Mass Index (BMI) on sleep apnea patients after a year of CPAP treatment on the Linde Sleep Center. Results: 104 male patients were included in this study, the variables analyzed were; AHI, BMI, Epworth daytime somnolence. As for the data obtained from BMI, after one year of treatment with CPAP, the BMI showed a significant decrease (p < 0.001). In the daytime sleepiness scale, a significant decrease was also found between pre and post treatment values. Discussion: Evidence has consistently suggested that higher body weight would also have higher levels of AHI, and the improvements in BMI referred to in this study emphasize the importance of proper treatment not only in control of respiratory events, but in the reduction of body weight.

RESUMO

INTRODUCCIÓN: la presión positiva continua en la vía aérea en pacientes que respiran espontáneamente se define como CPAP (en inglés, de Continuous Positive Airways Pressure), y consiste en la modalidad de ventilación mecánica no invasiva más sencilla. OBJETIVO: caracterizar el uso de la presión positiva continua en la vía aérea nasal, en recién nacidos con dificultad respiratoria. MÉTODOS: se realizó un estudio observacional descriptivo transversal, que incluyó a los 149 recién nacidos que recibieron esta técnica ventilatoria, en el Hospital Provincial Universitario Ginecoobstétrico "Mariana Grajales", de Santa Clara, en los años 2012-2013. Se aplicó un instrumento confeccionado al efecto, que incluyó variables perinatales y neonatales Se analizaron variables como: edad gestacional, peso, vía del parto, diagnóstico, edad posnatal al inicio y tiempo del tratamiento, evolución clínica, gasométrica y/o radiológica. Se obtuvieron los datos del departamento de estadística, historias clínicas pediátricas y obstétricas, y los libros de registro de parto; así como, los registros de morbilidad y mortalidad continua del servicio. Para el análisis descriptivo de la muestra se utilizaron frecuencias absolutas y relativas según el tipo de información. RESULTADOS: el mayor porcentaje de los recién nacidos fueron pretérminos (83,2 %) y con peso inferior a 2 500 g. Se ventilaron en la primera hora de vida 78 neonatos, y la duración del tratamiento inferior a las 24 horas fue más frecuente. La principal indicación médica fue el edema pulmonar. CONCLUSIONES: la mayoría de los neonatos presentó una evolución clínica, gasométrica y/o radiológica satisfactoria.

INTRODUCTION: continuous positive airways pressure in patients who normally breathes (known as CPAP) is a simpler modality of noninvasive mechanical ventilation. OBJECTIVE: to characterize the use of the nasal continuous positive airways pressure in newborns with respiratory distress. METHODS: cross-sectional, descriptive and observational study of 149 newborns that were treated with this ventilation technique at "Mariana Grajales" provincial university gynecobstetric hospital in Santa Clara in 2012 and 2013. An instrument including perinatal and neonatal variables was particularly designed for this purpose. These variables covered gestational age, weight, delivery, diagnosis, postnatal age at the beginning of treatment and length of time, clinical progress, gasometric and/or radiological progress. The study used data from the statistical department in addition to pediatric and obstetric medical histories, delivery register books, and continuous morbidity and mortality records of the service. For statistical analysis of the sample, absolute and relative frequencies were used depending on the type of information. RESULTS: the highest percentage of newborns was preterm (83.2 %) weighing less than 2 500 g. Seventy eight neonates were ventilated during their first hour of life and the treatment mostly lasted less than 24 hours. The main medical indication for treatment was pulmonary edema. CONCLUSIONS: most of neonates had satisfactory clinical, gasometric and/or radiological progression.

RESUMO

Abstract The mucopolysaccharidoses (MPSs) are a group of inherited, metabolic disorders characterized by progressive multisystem accumulation of partially degraded glycosaminoglycans. This manifests with multilevel airway obstruction, presenting with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). We systematically reviewed the literature to determine the severity and prevalence of OSA in MPS based on polysomnography analysis. Fifteen studies with 294 participants met the inclusion criteria for review. The pretreatment prevalence of OSA in MPS was 81% with a mean apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) of 10.4. Patients with MPS I are most significantly affected, with 75% suffering with moderate to severe OSA (mean AHI, 16.6). Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) results in an almost significant reduction in OSA in MPS I (P = .06), while adenotonsillar surgery significantly improves AHI (P = .002). Obstructive sleep apnea least affects MPS III. There is a lack of long-term post-ERT and hematopoietic stem cell transplant data relating to OSA outcomes in this population, with further prospective studies required to determine the ongoing response to treatment.
