Risk factors for treatment failure of High flow nasal cannula as an initial respiratory support in neonates with respiratory distress
Keywords:
High flow nasal cannula, respiratory distress in neonatesAbstract
Background: High flow nasal cannula (HFNC) is a popular non-invasive breathing device today. But there are no data on the efficacy and safety of using HFNC in neonates with respiratory distress.
Purpose: To investigate risk factors for treatment failure of HFNC as an initial respiratory support in newborns with respiratory distress after birth. Compare outcomes and complications of neonates both groups.
Method: Retrospective case-control study in neonates admitted from October 1, 2016 to February 28, 2021 with respiratory distress at receiving initial treatment with HFNC, statistical data were analyzed for risk factors, and data were compared for the failure group
with the success group.
Results: A total of 217 neonates had 29.5% HFNC failure rate. Compared with the success group, the failure group had higher higher incidence of maternal meconium-stained amniotic fluid (MSAF), MAS and PPHN significant. In the failure group, there were more hypoxia problems and therefore lower blood oxygen saturation, and the HFNC setting FiO2 was greater than in the success group. WBC count was lower but the mean CRP age 6-23 hours and CRP age 24-48 hours were greater than the success group. MAS and PPHN is significant risk factor of failure group. Failure group had air leak syndrome and need to be referred for further treatment,the number of days the ventilator, oxygen used, and hospitalization days were significantly higher than those in the success group.
Conclusion: Treatment failure of HFNC should be considered a risk for neonates with respiratory distress from MAS, PPHN. Neonates with severe hypoxia and with higher HFNC FiO2 settings may help for other noninvasive ventilators or intubation.
