Cerebral Oxygenation with Different Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Levels in Preterm Infants.
Archives of disease in childhood Fetal and neonatal edition(2014)
摘要
Objectives This study evaluates the effect of varying nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) level on cerebral blood flow (CBF) and oxygenation in preterm infants.Methods Oxy-haemoglobin (HbO(2)) and total haemoglobin (HbTot), as CBF estimates, and the ratio between HbO(2) and HbTot (HbO(2)/HbTot), as cerebral oxygenation estimate, were assessed by near-infrared spectroscopy in 26 stable preterm newborns at a postmenstrual age between 26 and 33 weeks. Baseline HbO(2), HbTot and HbO(2)/HbTot values were initially collected with NCPAP at 5 cm H2O and then compared with values obtained with NCPAP levels at both 3 and 8 cm H2O.Results Compared with 5 cm H2O, cerebral HbO(2), HbTot and HbO(2)/HbTot remained unchanged both after increasing (to 8 cm H2O) and decreasing (to 3 cm H2O) the NCPAP level. This result was observed both in regional areas (24 sites) and in the overall monitored area (frontal and parietal cortex). Compared with 8 cm H2O, peripheral oxygen saturation significantly decreased at 3 cm H2O (p=0.021). Heart rate did not change.Conclusions No differences in CBF and cerebral oxygenation were observed with NCPAP levels in the range 3-8 cm H2O despite a decrease in peripheral oxygenation with 3 cm H2O.
