Every great resuscitationist needs to understand the fine points of keeping your patients breathing - not only by securing an airway, but also by understanding ongoing ventilation. In this episode, EMRA*Cast host Blythe Fiscella, MD, reviews pearls and pitfalls of NIPPV with critical care expert Colin McCloskey, MD.

Send us a textIn this episode, Ben and Daphna are joined by Dr. Amit Mukerji, MD, MSc, neonatologist and associate professor at McMaster University, to discuss his groundbreaking research on the use of high CPAP pressures in preterm neonates. Dr. Mukerji presents insights from his pilot trial comparing CPAP to NIPPV at equivalent mean airway pressures, challenging conventional approaches to non-invasive respiratory support. He addresses concerns about failure rates, cultural biases in clinical practice, and the importance of proper pressure application. This conversation highlights the potential of high CPAP pressures to simplify care while maintaining efficacy for most preterm infants.As always, feel free to send us questions, comments, or suggestions to our email: nicupodcast@gmail.com.

The principles of preoxygenation and passive oxygenation should be familiar to any experienced intubator. Best practice recommends the use of a nasal cannula in conjunction with either a non-rebreather mask or bag-valve mask (BVM) to prevent hypoxemia during the apneic phase of Rapid Sequence Intubation (RSI). In the PREOXI Trial, the authors pushed this concept further, questioning whether non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) might be more effective than these formally mentioned adjuncts. In this podcast, we dive into the strengths and weaknesses of the trial and explore whether its findings are truly practice-changing. We might even disagree along the way… (We also provide a rebuttal to some of the feedback we received on our previous podcast episode.)

About one in ten live births around the world are preterm and many of these babies will develop respiratory distress and require help with their breathing. Various strategies are available for this and an updated Cochrane review from July 2023 provides the latest evidence on the comparison of nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation versus nasal continuous positive airway pressure when a baby's breathing tube is removed. We asked one of the authors, Marc-Olivier Deguise from the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario in Canada to tell us about the findings, and he used ElevenLabs to make this recording.

The "Pandemic Immunity Gap" is likely behind the massive surge in respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), with current CDC data showing a 275% increase from 2020-2021 to 2022-2023. The most vulnerable population is between 0-6 months old, which often raises the stress level for providers across all spectrums. Join Eric for a deep dive into a case study involving a 4-month-old male in acute respiratory compromise. We break down the progression of RSV and its association with bronchiolitis. Dive deep into the current evidence on fluid management, bronchodilators, corticosteroids, NS 0.9%, Hypertonic 3%, racemic epinephrine, HFNC, NiPPV, intubation, and much more.  Recommended flow settings and cannula sizes for high-flow nasal cannula therapy in pediatric patients https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7027347/table/t1-kjp-2019-00626/?report=objectonly Corticosteroid Therapy During Acute Bronchiolitis in Patients Who Later Develop Asthma: Hosp Pediatr (2017) 7 (7): 403–409. https://doi.org/10.1542/hpeds.2016-0211 Efficacy of 3% hypertonic saline in bronchiolitis: A meta‑analysis,  Received May 10, 2018; Accepted August 22, 2018.

Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation or NIPPV is ventilatory assistance without an invasive artificial airway like an endotracheal tube. The oxygen is delivered to a spontaneously breathing patient through a tight-fitting mask or in this case a helmet. Helmet based ventilation is a modern solution to an outdated method. The most popular choice in providing NIPPV is the cpap, a tightly fitted mask over the nose and mouth. The biggest problem with cpap is comfort and inconsistency associated with interruption for patient care. The helmet based approach provides a more efficient and effective way to deliver pressure and oxygen. In this episode, we welcome our guest, Aurika Savickaite. She is a registered nurse and patient care manager at the University of Chicago Medical Center's Medical Intensive Care Unit and was part of the successful testing of the helmet ventilator in the ICU at the University of Chicago during a three-year trial study. Catch more of Aurika as we learn more about helmet ventilation and empowering nurses in this exciting episode of Cup of Nurses.

Infants in the NICU are patients that require specialized care with unique clinical considerations. Specific recommendations must be considered for all systems of NICU patients and the skin is not any different. Infants who are being cared for in the NICU, especially those that were born premature have an increased risk for skin trauma. On this episode, we review some of the skin care guidelines and recommendations available for clinical practice of NICU patients. As NICU clinicians, is is important to not only be aware of the anatomical variations of a term and preterm infant's skin, but to also know how that guides their clinical care and treatment plan. Many of the topics we cover on this episode have been standards of care for years, but there are also new recommendations for practice and products available based on recent research findings. NICU clinicians will hear a great review as well as up-to-date clinical recommendations for skin care of our specialized population in the NICU. The episode will also be beneficial for parents to hear the clinical practice guidelines and recommendations for term and preterm infants as well as some of the variations that may exist between different institutions.

Clinicians use noninvasive respiratory support interventions in the post-extubation period to mitigate the risk of extubation failure. These interventions [noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) and high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC)] have been shown to be efficacious in preventing initial intubation in patients with hypoxemic respiratory failure, but their efficacy in preventing post-extubation respiratory failure and reintubation is less clear. A systematic review and network meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) to evaluate the relative efficacy of conventional oxygen therapy, NIPPV, HFNC, and the strategy of alternating NIPPV and HFNC during the post-extubation period in reducing extubation failure and short-term mortality among critically ill adults, was conducted. We have interviewed Dr Fernando and Dr Rochwerg to explain these study findings. Speakers Shannon FERNANDO. Division of Critical Care, Department of Medicine, University of Ottawa (CA).

Welcome to PICU Doc On Call, A Podcast Dedicated to Current and Aspiring Intensivists. I'm Pradip Kamat and I'm Rahul Damania. We are coming to you from Children's Healthcare of Atlanta - Emory University School of Medicine. Welcome to our Episode a 15 mo F with respiratory distress and runny nose. Here's the case: A 15 mo F presents to the ED with cough, runny nose, and increased work of breathing. Her mother states that the patient has had these symptoms for the past three days, however, the work of breathing progressed. The patient has had 2 fevers during this course, with the highest 101F. She says that her 3 yo cousin who she visited for the holidays had similar symptoms. Mother notes decreased PO and wet diapers. The patient presented to the ED with the following vital signs: T 38.5C, HR 155, BP 70/48 (MAP 50), RR 48, 92% on RA. The patient on the exam was noted to be tachypneic with abdominal retractions, grunting, and nasal flaring. The patient was nasally suctioned and initiated on 12 L 40% of HFNC. The patient was then transferred to the PICU for further management. To summarize key elements from this case, this patient has: Increased work of breathing indicates respiratory distress. She has a prodrome of symptoms that worsened prior to presentation And a sick contact. All of which brings up a concern for acute respiratory failure requiring non-invasive positive pressure ventilation in the form of HFNC. Let's transition into some history and physical exam components of this case? What are key history features in this child who presents with respiratory distress & URI sx? Usually, children under the age of two with bronchiolitis will present with cough, respiratory distress, and crackles on lung exam. The crackles indicate atelectatic alveoli that are filled with fluid which occurs due to inflammatory processes in the lung triggered by respiratory viruses. Respiratory distress, increased work of breathing, respiratory rate, and oxygenation all can change rapidly with crying, coughing, and agitation. Are there some red-flag symptoms or physical exam components in a child with acute respiratory distress which you could highlight? That is a great question. We really want to highlight the distinction between respiratory distress and respiratory failure. Children with respiratory failure in our case may have issues with oxygenation or ventilation as well as increased work of breathing that necessitates higher levels of respiratory support like HFNC. In a 2003 Journal of Pediatrics study, infants who were most severely affected with bronchiolitis were born prematurely,

In this Part 1 of our two-part series on acute heart failure, Anton is joined by Dr. Tarlan Hedayati and Dr. Bourke Tillman to answer such questions as: how does PoCUS compare with clinical assessment and CXR in diagnostic accuracy for acute heart failure? How do we best integrate PoCUS in the our assessment and management of the patient with acute heart failure? What is PPV HAVoC and how can we use it to optimize acute heart failure management goals? What should be our specific goals of management in the acute heart failure depending on the underlying cause? How does high flow nasal cannula (HFNC) compare to non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) in the management of acute heart failure? How should we interpret the C3PO trial in the context of the world's literature on NIPPV in acute heart failure? How should we dose nitroglycerin to maximize its effects without dumping the blood pressure in patients with SCAPE and those without SCAPE? How should we best time and dose furosemide in the acute heart failure patient with renal insufficiency? Is there any role for morphine or ACEi in the ED management of acute heart failure? What are best anxiolytic medication choices in acute heart failure? Is there any role for second line diuretics in the management of acute heart failure in the ED? and many more...

Welcome to PICU Doc On Call, a podcast dedicated to current and aspiring intensivists. My name is Pradip Kamat. And my name is Rahul Damania, we come to you from Children's Healthcare of Atlanta/Emory University School of Medicine. Today's episode is dedicated to Noninvasive and Invasive ventilation in children post-hematopoietic cell transplantation. We are delighted to be joined by Dr. Courtney Rowan, MD, MSCR, Associate Professor of Pediatrics, and the Director of the Pediatric Critical care Fellowship at Indiana University School of Medicine/Riley Children's Health. Dr. Rowan's research interest is in improving the outcomes of immunocompromised children with respiratory failure. She is active in this field of research and has led and participated in multi-centered studies. She is the co-chair of the committee of the hematopoietic cell transplantation subgroup of the Pediatric acute lung injury and sepsis investigators network. In our podcast today we will be asking Dr. Rowan about the findings of her recent study published in the journal-Frontiers in Oncology reporting on the risk factors for noninvasive ventilation failure in children post hematopoietic cell transplant. She is on twitter @CmRowan. Patient CaseI will turn it over to Rahul to start with our patient case... A 15-year-old female with a history of AML s/p Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation T+15 days presents with tachypnea and a new O2 requirement. She has been on the BMT floor for 48 hrs after being admitted for respiratory distress and fevers. Her blood cultures are negative but she is febrile intermittently. Her CXR shows nonspecific haziness, no focal opacity, and underinflation. Her weight is up 2KG in the last 48 hours. She is found to have increased work of breathing and mild desaturations to 88%. She is placed on HFNC and continued on broad-spectrum antibiotics. A respiratory viral panel and Sars-CoV-2 PCR is sent. Transfer to the Pediatric ICU is initiated. Episode DialogueDr. Rowan, welcome to our PICU Doc on-call podcast. Dr. Rowan: Thanks Rahul & Pradip for having me. I am delighted to be here to discuss one of my favorite topics. I have no conflicts of interest but I have funding from the NHLBI. Today we will be discussing the up-to-date evidence for NIV (HFNC and NIPPV) use in children who have had BMT. Additionally, we will also be discussing the use of invasive MV strategies including HFOV in the pediatric BMT population. To start us off, Dr. Rowan, why is the BMT cohort different from other patients admitted to the PICU? There is an increase in the # of patients undergoing BMT as indications for BMT are being expanded to different disease processes. The Etiologies for lung disease in BMT patients can be infectious (common organisms as well as opportunistic organisms). They can have lung disease from non-infectious causes and even fluid overload from renal dysfunction/medications given and there is a constant threat of alloreactivity which can manifest as GVHD or engraftment syndrome. 75% of PICU admits of immunocompromised children come from the heme-onc inpatient services. BMT patients have a higher risk to progress to ARDS. Recent reports show the incidence of ARDS in the intubated BMT population reaching upwards of 92%. These patients are also at high risk for MODS and can have a mortality rate close to 60%.

In this episode, we review non-invasive ventilation in the NICU, respiratory support without an endotracheal tube, but rather with a nasal cannula or face mask. If your baby currently has or had Respiratory Distress Syndrome, the chances are quite high that they are currently or were previously on at least one of the different modes of non-invasive ventilation, either nIMV or NIPPV, CPAP, HFNC, LFNC. This is a topic, I know so many of you will benefit from hearing. After listening, you will walk away with a much better understanding of the different options of non-invasive ventilation, why one method may be chosen over another, how they will be beneficial to your baby, and some of the potential complications. Tune in to gain a better understanding of the parameters set on each of the different modes of non-invasive ventilation including but not limited to rate, PIP, PEEP, i-time, L/min and FiO2.

What is SCAPE? For this podcast, we're discussing the acute pulmonary edema presentation. This patient is hypertensive (SBP >140mmHg), severely dyspneic, with diffuse rales and clearly anxious. The "no-shitter, drowning-before-your-very-eyes" type of pulmonary edema.  This is the SCAPE patient. SCAPE = Sympathetic Crashing Acute Pulmonary Edema. Patho Quick Hits The core causative factor in the SCAPE patient is an acute increase in left ventricular filling pressure. There are a myriad of causes for a sudden increase in LV pressure, but the end result is a redistribution of fluid into the lungs. 1) Acute increase in LV filling pressure. 2) Fluid redistribution into the lungs and alveolar space. 3) Hypoxia ensues. 4) Catecholamine production and increase in SVR. 5) Activation of the RAAS. It's important to remember that the majority of these patients are not volume overloaded. This is a fluid distribution problem due to increased LV pressure. As the RV continues to pump fluid into the pulmonary circulation, the LV cannot move that fluid forward because of the increased afterload. This creates a pressure gradient that transmits that pressure back into the pulmonary capillaries. 5 Major Causes of SCAPE - Exacerbation of chronic LV failure - Acute myocardial ischemia or infarction involving 25% or more of the myocardial mass - Severe systemic hypertension - Left sided valvular disorders - Acute tachydysrhythmias and bradysrhythmias Treatment In the out of hospital realm, the core treatments are Non Invasive Positive Pressure Ventilation (NIPPV) via CPAP or BiPAP, coupled with nitroglycerine as a first-line medication. For the "regular guy" toolbox, the treatment pathway looks a little like this: 1) Treating the underlying cause if evident. 2) NIPPV 3) NTG 4) More NTG 5) More NTG 6) More NTG  Do not delay NIPPV to see if other therapies (like a NRB) will work first. In the awake patient maintaining their own airway presenting with SCAPE, have a low threshold to apply your NIPPV mode of choice. These patients need PEEP: they generally have an oxygenation problem, and not a ventilation problem. To that point, most prehospital disposable CPAP systems do not deliver 100% FiO2. The O_two and Pulmodyne O2-MAX systems we generally use are either fixed FiO2 or provide a titration of FiO2 based on oxygen flow. The O_two system will provide between 59% and 77% FiO2 at oxygen flow rates between 8L/min and 25 L/min respectively. The Pulmodyne O2-MAX system provides 30% FiO2 regardless of PEEP, or with an additional adapter may provide 30%, 60%, or 90% FiO2 independent of the set PEEP. Nitrogylcerin If sublingual NTG is all you have, give it. Often, too. Lifting up the CPAP mask for 20 seconds is highly unlikely to cause clinically relevant harm. If you have the option of IV NTG, that should be your go-to. Standard dosing strategies for IV NTG of 5-40mcg/min are likely ineffective, and there is literature to support higher dosing strategies. Consider that we bolus 400mcg of SL NTG, and that the bioequivalence of SL NTG is comparable to around an IV NTG dose of 60-80mcg/min, so rapid titration of IV NTG even up to 100mcg/min is not entirely unreasonable and largely supported by current literature.
