AI Article Synopsis

  • The study aimed to analyze characteristics of healthy children with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA-I) and those with OSA and non-syndromic obesity (OSA-II) in France who were treated with CPAP or NIV in 2019.
  • Data from a national survey focused on CPAP/NIV initiation criteria, duration, age at initiation, equipment used, settings, and compliance were examined.
  • Results showed that OSA-II patients were older at initiation and treated longer than OSA-I patients, with both groups mainly using CPAP, but having similar compliance rates.

Article Abstract

Purpose: The aim of the study was to analyze the characteristics of otherwise healthy children with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA; OSA-I) and children with OSA and non-syndromic obesity (OSA-II) treated with long term continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or noninvasive ventilation (NIV) in 2019 in France.

Methods: Data were collected from a national survey on paediatric home noninvasive ventilatory support. CPAP/NIV initiation criteria and duration, age at CPAP/NIV initiation, equipment used and CPAP/NIV settings, and objective compliance were analyzed.

Results: Patients with OSA-I and OSA-II represented 6 % (n = 84, 71 % males) and 10 % (n = 144, 72 % males) of the national cohort, respectively. The apnea-hypopnea index (63 % vs 76 %), alone or combined with nocturnal gas exchange (25 % vs 21 %, for OSA-II and OSA-I patients respectively) were used as initiation criteria of CPAP/NIV. OSA-II patients were older at CPAP/NIV initiation (mean age 11.0 ± 4.0 vs 6.8 ± 4.5 years, p < 0.001) and were treated for a longer time (2.3 ± 2.6 vs 1.3 ± 1.5 years, p = 0.008) than OSA-I patients. NIV was used in 6 % of OSA-I patients and 13 % of OSA-II patients (p = 0.142). Both groups used preferentially a nasal mask. Mean CPAP level was higher in OSA-II patients as compared to OSA-I patients (8.7 ± 2.0 vs 7.7 ± 2.4 cmHO, p = 0.02). Objective compliance was comparable (mean use 6.8 ± 2.6 vs 5.9 ± 3.0 h/night in OSA-I and OSA-II, respectively, p = 0.054).

Conclusion: Six and 10 % of children treated with long term CPAP/NIV in France in 2019 had OSA-I and OSA-II, respectively. Both groups were preferentially treated with CPAP and were comparable except for age, with OSA-II patients being older at CPAP/NIV initiation.

Background: This narrative review was written by an expert panel to the members of the jury to help in the development of clinical practice guidelines on oxygen therapy.

Results: According to the expert panel, acute hypoxemic respiratory failure was defined as PaO < 60 mm Hg or SpO < 90% on room air, or PaO/FiO ≤ 300 mm Hg. Supplemental oxygen should be administered according to the monitoring of SpO, with the aim at maintaining SpO above 92% and below 98%.

Background: Respiratory failure in infants is a common reason for admission to the pediatric ICU (PICU). Although high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) is the preferred first-line treatment at our institution, some infants require CPAP or noninvasive ventilation (NIV). Here we report our experience using CPAP/NIV in infants < 10 kg.

Rationale: The use of long-term noninvasive respiratory support is increasing in children along with an extension of indications, in particular in children with central nervous system (CNS) disorders.

Objective: The aim of this study was to describe the characteristics of children with CNS disorders treated with long-term noninvasive respiratory support in France.

Methods: Data were collected from 27 French pediatric university centers through an anonymous questionnaire filled for every child treated with noninvasive ventilatory support ≥3 months on 1st June 2019.

Detection of Simulated Pediatric Breathing by CPAP/Noninvasive Ventilation Devices.

Article Synopsis
  • Home CPAP and noninvasive ventilation (NIV) are becoming more common for children, but not all devices provide accurate patient data, prompting a study on tidal volume (V) detection rather than weight.
  • The study tested twelve CPAP devices to see how well they detected various simulated pediatric tidal volumes, revealing a range of detection from 16 to 84 mL among devices regardless of their level classification.
  • Results showed that level I devices generally underestimated CPAP use duration and struggled with waveform displays, while level II and III devices overestimated use and provided more consistent waveforms when turned on.
