Objective: To assess the value of a spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) using a flow-inflating bag in predicting extubation success. Secondary goals were to evaluate the positive and negative predictive accuracy of a 15-min SBT.
Design: Prospective, blinded, clinical study.
Setting: Pediatric intensive care unit (ICU) of a university hospital
Patients: Infants and children intubated for >or=24 hrs.
Interventions: Patients who met defined criteria for extubation underwent a 15-min SBT connected to a flow-inflating bag set to provide 5 cm H2O continuous positive airway pressure.
Measurements And Main Results: Seventy patients underwent the SBT. Respiratory rate, heart rate, blood pressure, and pulse oxygen saturations were recorded at baseline and at 5 and 15 mins into the SBT. The ICU physicians were blinded to the results of the SBT, and all patients were extubated at the end of the trial. Patients were observed for the next 24 hrs, and the need for noninvasive ventilation or reintubation (i.e., extubation failure) was recorded.Sixty-four patients (91%) passed the SBT with a subsequent extubation failure rate of 7.8% (only 1.6% required reintubation). Six of the 70 (9%) patients enrolled failed the trial, but half were extubated successfully. Successful completion of the SBT has a 95% sensitivity for predicting successful extubation with a positive predictive value of 92% and an odds ratio of 12 (95% confidence interval, 1.3, 53.7). The specificity of the SBT was 37% with a negative predictive value of 50%. Logistic regression analysis revealed a significant association between passing the SBT and extubation success (p = .017).
Conclusions: A 15-min flow-inflating bag SBT represents a practical, reliable bedside test that has 95% sensitivity for predicting extubation success in pediatric ICU patients. A trial failure is associated with but does not accurately predict extubation failure.

Supraglottic airway in neonatal porcine model.

Background: Positive pressure ventilation (PPV) in the delivery room is routinely performed using a face mask attached to a ventilation device. In 2023, the Consensus of Science and Treatment Recommendations for neonatal resuscitation stated that a supraglottic airway (SGA) can be used for PPV if resources and training permits. However, there is very limited data on tidal volume (V) delivery using SGAs.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the skills of various PICU team members in using a flow-inflating bag for manual ventilation through a mobile simulation unit.
- A total of 129 participants completed tasks, revealing that only 4% successfully met defined ventilation criteria, with most feeling uncertain about their skills.
- Team members showed a lack of consistency in achieving target ventilation parameters, especially in maintaining positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), highlighting a need for improved training and real-time coaching.

Background: The Neonatal Task Force of the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) makes practice recommendations for the care of newborn infants in the delivery room (DR). ILCOR recommends that all infants who are gasping, apnoeic, or bradycardic (heart rate < 100 per minute) should be given positive pressure ventilation (PPV) with a manual ventilation device (T-piece, self-inflating bag, or flow-inflating bag) via an interface. The most commonly used interface is a face mask that encircles the infant's nose and mouth.

Infant resuscitation devices used at birth must be capable of delivering adequate and consistent ventilation in a controlled and predictable manner to a wide patient weight range, and combinations of transitional lung states. Manual inflation resuscitation devices delivering positive pressure lung inflation at birth can be classified broadly into two types: 1) flow generating, ie silicone self-inflating bags (SIB) also known as bag valve mask (BVM) and 2) flow dependent, ie anaesthetic flow inflating bag (FIB) and t-piece resuscitator (TPR) systems (eg: Neopuff, GE Panda and Draeger Resuscitaires). Globalization, lower production costs, and an expanding market need for devices, has led to a proliferation of brands (both reusable and single use) within a class type.

Aims: To create a low-cost ventilator that could be constructed with readily-available hospital equipment for use in emergency or low-resource settings.
Main Methods: The novel ventilator consists of an inspiratory limb composed of an elastic flow-inflating bag encased within a non-compliant outer sheath and an expiratory limb composed of a series of two, one-way bidirectional splitter valves derived from a self-inflating bag system. An Arduino Uno microcontroller controls a solenoid valve that can be programmed to open and close to produce a set respiratory rate and inspiratory time.
