Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), or chronic lung disease of prematurity, occurs in ~30% of preterm infants (15,000 per year) and is associated with a clinical history of mechanical ventilation and/or high inspired oxygen at birth. Here, we describe changes in ventilatory control that exist in patients with BPD, including alterations in chemoreceptor function, respiratory muscle function, and suprapontine control. Because dysfunction in ventilatory control frequently revealed when O2 supply and CO2 elimination are challenged, we provide this information in the context of four important metabolic stressors: stresses: exercise, sleep, hypoxia, and lung disease, with a primary focus on studies of human infants, children, and adults. As a secondary goal, we also identify three key areas of future research and describe the benefits and challenges of longitudinal human studies using well-defined patient cohorts.

[Effects of high-frequency volume-guaranteed ventilation in preterm newborns with respiratory distress syndrome: exploratory review].
Andes Pediatr

Facultad de Salud, Universidad Santiago de Cali, Cali, Colombia.
Unlabelled: High-frequency oscillatory ventilation with volume guarantee (HFOV-VG) is a ventilatory mode that controls small tidal volumes at supraphysiological frequencies, potentially beneficial for preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS).
Objective: To identify the physiological and clinical effects of HFOV-VG in preterm newborns with RDS, compared with conventional HFOV.
Method: Exploratory review of studies published between 2019 and 2023 of preterm newborns from 23 to 36 weeks of gestation with RDS, weighing ≥ 450g, with invasive HFOV support, using PRISMA flow diagram.
Loop gain and central chemosensitivity assessment as a valuable tool in guiding treatment decisions for central sleep apnea in children.

This study presents two cases of central sleep apnea syndrome in children, highlighting the utility of assessing ventilatory control stability, particularly loop gain and central chemosensitivity in treatment decision-making. In the first case, elevated loop gain for oxygen correlated with periodic breathing, leading to successful treatment with supplemental oxygen in a 13 year-old boy with Prader-Willi-like syndrome. Conversely, in the second case, dealing with a 10 year-old girl with tumor in the brainstem-spinal cord junction, reduced loop gain prompted treatment with nocturnal non-invasive ventilation.

Electronic cigarettes (e-cigs) fundamentally differ from tobacco cigarettes in their generation of liquid-based aerosols. Investigating how e-cig aerosols behave when inhaled into the dynamic environment of the lung is important for understanding vaping-related exposure and toxicity. A ventilated artificial lung model was developed to replicate the ventilatory and environmental features of the human lung and study their impact on the characteristics of inhaled e-cig aerosols from simulated vaping scenarios.

Chronic hyperoxia during early postnatal development depresses breathing when neonatal rats are returned to room air and causes long-lasting attenuation of the hypoxic ventilatory response (HVR). In contrast, little is known about the control of breathing of juvenile or adult mammals after chronic exposure to moderate hyperoxia later in life. Therefore, Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to 60 % O for 7 days (juveniles) or for 4 and 14 days (adults) and ventilation was measured by whole-body plethysmography immediately after the exposure or following a longer period of recovery in room air.

Methods: Sixty-nine patients (n=69, 100%), predominantly female (n=49, 71%), were included in the study. Polysomnographic data were collected during hospital-based CPAP titration.
