Implementation of Nasal Non-Invasive Ventilation With a RAM Cannula in the Inpatient /Outpatient Setting

March 16, 2020 updated by: James M. Stark, The University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston
The purpose of this study is to implement a standardized protocol to initiate nasal non-invasive ventilation with RAM nasal cannula (NIV/RAM-NC) with Trilogy mechanical ventilator at Children Memorial Hospital inpatient and outpatient sites, as well as to explore the side effects and complications associated with the use of NIV/RAM-NC in children.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Children admitted to the Children Memorial Hermann Hospital and consulted to Pediatric Pulmonary Service for initiation of NIV/RAM-NC both at the inpatient and outpatient sites.
  • Children who fail to wean from chronic respiratory support (CPAP, BiPAP, HFNC) in whom long-term ventilation is considered between 10/2016 - 10/2017 will be included.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Children with minimal setting (CPAP < 5cmH2O, HFNC < 3LPM) able to be weaned to regular nasal cannula.
  • Patients with upper airway obstruction that may be candidates for surgical procedure will be excluded.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Nasal non-invasive ventilation with RAM cannula
Pediatric Pulmonary Team will be consulted on inpatient or outpatient patients that fail to wean from chronic respiratory support (CPAP, BiPAP, High flow Nasal Cannula) in whom long-term ventilation is considered. Pediatric Pulmonary Team, as a consultant, will consider patient history, physical examination, previous imaging and laboratories and previous attempts to wean from respiratory support and causes of failure to wean. The Pulmonary team will determine which patients would potentially benefit from use of NIV/RAM-NC for long-term respiratory support and will recommend initiation of NIV/RAM-NC.
