ANATOMY &PHYSIOLOGY
4
Predisposing Risk Factors
• Prematurity• Infants of diabetic mothers• Birth asphyxia• Cesarean section• Congenital anomalies• Maternal drugs• Acid-Base imbalance
5
Respiratory Disorders
• Respiratory Distress Syndrome• Transient tachypnea of the New Born• Pneumonia• Air Leak• Chronic lung disease (CLD) (separate lecture)• Meconium aspiration syndrome• Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of the
newborn (PPHN)• Pulmonary Hemorrhage
6
Respiratory Distress Syndrome(RDS or HMD)
• Developmental disorder starting at or soon after birth and occurring most frequently in infants with immature lungs
• 20,000-30,000 infants per year affected in the US
• Incidence related to gestational age
7
Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome is a condition of pulmonary insufficiency.
NRDS is due to a lack of alveolar surfactant along with structural immaturity of the lungs.
8
It is directly related to prematurity60–80% of infants less than 28 wk 15–30% of those between 32 and 36 wkin about 5% beyond 37 wkThe incidence is highest in preterm male or white infants
9
RDS Cont’d• Pathophysiology
– Surfactant deficiency– Uncomplicated course characterized by peak severity
at 1-3 days– Onset of recovery at ~72 hrs (usually coinciding with
diuresis)• Risk factors
– Low gestatinal age– Male predominance– Maternal diabetes– Prenatal depression
10
RDS Cont’d• Clinical
– Respiratory distress (grunting, flaring, retractions, tachypnea)
– Cyanosis– Definitive diagnosis is made with CXR
• Pulmonary function– Decreased lung compliance– Decreased FRC– Shunting of blood through atelectatic areas leading to
hypoxia– Unstable alveoli (Smaller alveoli will collapse during
exhalation– Laplace’s Law)
11
RDS Cont’d
• Pathophysiology– Decreased surfactant production– Presence of hyaline membranes located at junction
of dilated respiratory bronchioles and dilated alveolar ducts
– Hyaline membranes contain cellular debris from injured epithelium and fibrinous matrix components
– Minimally aerated lungs, diffuse alveolar atelectasis
12
RDS Cont’d• Prevention
– Antenatal corticosteroid administration ( at least 24-48 hours prior to delivery) **per ACOG guide line only one course of bethamethasone recommended
– Administration of betamethasone two 12mg IM dose 24hrs apart to women 48hr before the delivery of fetuses between 24 and 34 wk of gestation significantly reduces the incidence and the mortality and morbidity of HMD
– Tocolytic agents to arrest premature labor13
Administration of a first dose of surfactant 200mg/kg into the trachea of all babies under 27wks immediately after birth (prophylactic within 15 min) or symptomatic premature babies during the first few hours of life (early rescue) reduces air leak and mortality from HMD but does not alter the incidence of BPD
14
•Management–Artificial surfactant replacement–Respiratory support and monitoring–Oxygen supplementation–Fluid and metabolic management
15
Treatment – Mechanical ventilation
Persistent apnea Arterial blood pH less than 7.20Arterial blood pCO2 of 60mm Hg or higherArterial blood pO2 of 50mm Hg or less at oxygen concentrations of 70–100% and
16
Mechanical ventilation
The aim is to stabilize the lung after recruitment to optimal lung volume with adequate positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) or continuing distending pressure on HFOV [high-frequency oscillatory ventilators] to keep the lung open during the whole respiratory cycle
17
Treatment of NRDS can be divided into 4 phases
Recruitment Stabilization Recovery weaning
18
Treatment - NO
Inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) has acutely improved oxygenation, but it may not improve the overall outcome of infants with HMD/RDS
19
RDS is characterized by atelectasis and decreased lung volumes resulting from surfactant deficiency.
The physiologic basis for iNO use in the preterm infant who has RDS depends on 3 mechanisms:
- Reversal of pulmonary hypertension - Improved ventilation-perfusion
matching - Decreased inflammatory response
20
RDS Cont’d
• CXR
21
Respiratory distress syndrome
22
RDS Test Your knowledge
• At what gestational age is the fetal lung first capable of supporting extra uterine life with out medical intervention?– A. 19-23 weeks– B. 24-25 weeks– C. 26-28 weeks– D. 29-33 weeks
23
RDS Test Your knowledge
• *****Surfactant improves lung function by:– A___. Reducing surface tension at the air-liquid
interface in the alveolus– B. Promoting structural maturation of the lung– C. Inhibiting alveolar fluid clearance– D. Increasing opening pressure
24
RDS Test Your knowledge
• Respiratory grunting represents the infant’s attempt to– A. Prevents alveolar collapse at the end of
expiration– B. Decrease upper airway resistance– C. Decrease functional residual capacity– D. Overcome large airway obstruction
25
RDS Test Your knowledge
• Medical management of the infant with RDS complicated by patent ductus arteriosus would include all of the following except– A. Indomethacin– B. Prostaglandin E– C. Fluid restriction– D. Diuretics
26
Transient Tachypnea of the New born (TTN)
• Pathophysiology– Delayed clearance of fetal lung fluid– Usually resolves by 48 to 72 hours– Starts at birth– Occurs in 1-2% of all live births in the US
• Risk Factors– Delivery by C/S– Maternal diabetes– Perinatal depression– Maternal sedation– Precipitous delivery
27
TTN Cont’d
• Clinical presentation– Tachypnea 60-140 BPM– Grunting– Nasal flaring– Barrel shaped chest– Mild intercostals retraction– Possible mild cyanosis
28
TTN Cont’d
• Management– Respiratory support and monitoring– Oxygen supplementation– Some may require CPAP
29
TTN Cont’d, Diagnosis confirmed by CXR
Hyper expansion and lung fluid
Neonate at age 6 hours30
TTN Cont’d
Same patient at age 2 days 31
Pneumonia
• Pathophysiology– Transplacental (intrauterine infection)– Aspiration of contaminated amniotic fluid (and/or
meconium– Hematogenous– Inhalation– Occurs in 1% of term infants and 10% in preterm
infants in the US
32
Pneumonia Cont’d
• Pathogens – Early: Group B streptococci (GBS), E. Coli,
Klebsiella, Listeria– Late: above plus Staphylococcus aureus,
Pseudomonas, fungal, Chlamydia,– Other: Ureaplasma, viral (cytomegalovirus,
herpes, respiratory syscytial virus, enterovirus, rubella), syphilis
33
Pneumonia Cont’d
• Risk factors– Prolonged rupture of membranes >24 hrs– Maternal fever/chorioamnionitis– Foul smelling amniotic fluid– Gasping due to fetal asphyxia leading to increased risk
of aspiration• Clinical presentation
– Respiratory distress, cyanosis, hypercapnia, tachycardia, lethargy, poor feeding
– Fever especially if herpes or enterovirus
34
Pneumonia Cont’d
• Diagnosis– by CXR (typically abnormal at 24-72 hours after
symptom)– CXR finding can appear very similar to RDS (especially
if GBS***)• Management
– Respiratory support and monitoring– Gram stain and culture of blood and tracheal
secretions– Antibiotics
35
X-ray - patchy infiltrate in perihilar area.
36
May lead to diffuse involvement of entire lungs
37
38
Air LeakPneumothrax
• Divided into two categories– Spontaneous -occurring in an otherwise healthy,
full term infants shortly after birth and usually spontaneously resolve
– Iatrogenic -occurring in infants with underlying lung pathology regardless of gestational age or following invasive procedures ( intubation, central catheter placement)
39
Air LeakPneumothrax
• Physiology– Air between parietal pleura lining the chest wall and the
visceral pleura covering the lung• Risk factors
– Aspiration of blood, meconium, amniotic fluid– Lung diseases including RDS, pulmonary hypoplasia,
congenital diaphragmatic hernia, pneumonia– Intubated infant with improving compliance– Ventilated infant with expiratory efforts opposing
ventilated breaths– Spontaneous pneumothorax can occur in 1-2% of health
full term infants, often asymptomatic
40
Air LeakPneumothrax
• Clinical presentation– Respiratory distress, cyanosis, apnea, and bradycardia– Affected side with decreased breath sounds and increased
anterior posterior (AP) diameter– Displaced point of maximal impulse– If under tension, acute decrease in BP, heart rate and
respiratory rate– Increased risk of intraventricular hemorrhage due to
decreased venous return if tension pneumothorax or sudden improvement in cerebral perfusion following chest tube placement
– Increased risk of syndrome of inappropriate anti-diuretic hormone
41
Air LeakPneumothrax
• Diagnosis– Trans illuminate: Place probe bilateral axilla region
and below diaphragm– Tran illumination may be falsely negative in large
infants or small leaks and falsely positive if subcutaneous edema, lobar emphysema, or pneumomediastinum
– CXR
42
Air LeakPneumothrax
• Management– Ventilator: decrease PEEP, decrease PIP, decrease I time, increase rate
– Consider 100% oxygen to obtain nitrogen washout if smaller leaks
– Needle aspiration– Chest tube placement
43
44
Air LeakPneumomediatinum
• Higher incidence for infant with MAS• CXR shows sail sign of the thymus being lifter
by air• Majority asymptomatic since air is seldom
under tension• If symptomatic, may have tachypnea, muffled
heart sounds, and cyanosis• It resolves spontaneously
45
46
Air LeakPneumopericardium
• Air leakage into the pericardial sac• Symptoms dependent upon level of tension and
include cyanosis, muffled heart sounds, hypotension (due to inferior vena cava compression and decreased cardiac venous return leading to decreased stroke volume)
• The only treatment is pericardial needle aspiration if severe symptoms
• High mortality rate47
Air LeakPulmonary interstitial
emphysema(PIE)• Air leak into the interstitial space• Majority of infant are premature and
ventilated with severe RDS• Interstitial air leads to decreased lung
compliance, ventilation/perfusion mismatch, increased dead space
• Manage by decreased MAP, consider HFV, if unilateral involvement, can position infant on side of affected lung, consider selective bronchial intubation.
48
Pulmonary interstitial emphysema
49
Meconium Aspiration Syndrome (MAS)
• Pathophysiology– Mechanical obstruction– Chemical inflammation– Surfactant inactivation– Associated with air leaks
• Risk factors– Full term or post mature– Fetal distress– In utero hypoxia– Mechonium stained amniotic fluid
50
MAS Cont’d
• Clinical– Severe respiratory distress beginning shortly after
birth
• Pulmonary function– Decreased lung compliance– Decreased alveolar ventilation and perfusion or
poorly ventilated areas leading to hypoxemia– Increased pulmonary vascular resistance (due to
local pulmonary vasoconstriction
51
MAS Cont’d• Prevention
– If meconium stained amniotic fluid, suction nasopharynx at the perineum and direct tracheal suctioning if new born is not vigorous
• Management– Respiratory ventilator support and monitoring-ideal to maintain
adequate expiratory time to prevent air trapping– Manage pulmonary hypertension, monitor for signs of pneumothorax– Surfactant administration due to surfactant inactivation by
meconium and decreased surfactant production following alveolar injury
– Antibiotics since 1. meconium increases bacterial growth 2. often cannot distinguish from pneumonia, and 3. sepsis may be precipitant for aspiration
52
53
Persistent pulmonary Hypertension (PPHN)
• Incidence: 1-2 per 1000 birth• Etiology
– Maladaptation: normal structure of pulmonary vascular bed but PVR remains elevated. e.g. hypoxia, asphyxia, hypothermia, hyperviscosity (polycythemia), pneumonia, sepsis
– Maldevelopment: abnormal structure of pulmonary vascular beds leading to vascular smooth muscle hypertrophy e.g. intrauterine hypoxia, perinatal asphyxia, meconium aspiration, fetal ductus arteriosus closure, pulmonary hypoplasia, diaphragmatic hernia, alveolar capillary dysplasia
54
PPHN Cont’d• Pathophysiology
– Increased PVR leads to right-to-left shunting at the atrial or ductal level
– The resultant decrease in pulmonary blood flow leads to hypoxia• Clinical:
– Usually full term or post term– Infant typically presents within the first 24 hrs of life with severe
cyanosis, respiratory distress, severe hypoxemia (less effect on CO2 retention), labile oxygenation
– Single or narrowly split, loud S2– Preductal oxygen sats > postductal oxygen sats
• CXR:– Decreased pulmonary vascular markings, normal, or increased heart
size
55
PPHN Cont’d
• Management– Obtain ECHO to rule out congenital heart disease– ECHO findings C/W PHTN include pulmonary
pressures similar to systemic pressure, tricuspid regurgitation, bowing of ventricular septum in LV, right-to –left shunting across PDA
– Treat with antibiotics since may be associated with sepsis
– Treat any underlying lung disease– Administer 100% oxygen to increase pulmonary
vasodilatation
56
PPHN Cont’d• Management
– Sedation, maximize oxygen carrying capacity with PRBC, maintain cardiac output (inotropic support if needed) to keep SBP slightly elevated to increase left to right shunting, ventilator support (PEEP-need to monitor closely as it may decrease cardiac output, hyperventilation with alkalization, consider HFV)
– Inhaled nitric oxide: a specific pulmonary vasodilator– In the past nitroprusside and tolazoline were used as
vasodilators– need to monitor cyanide levels with nitroprusside– Need to monitor systolic BP as both these drugs may cause
systemic vasodilatation– ECMO if above therapies fail
57
Pulmonary Hemorrhage
• Pathophysiology– Due to acute increase in capillary hydrostatic
pressure (secondary to a left-to-right shunt from PDA or vasoconstriction following perinatal depression)
– This increased pressure leads to capillary vessel breakage and large amount of fluid leakage
• Risk factors– PDA, sepsis, left ventricular failure, ?? Surfactant
administration58
Pulmonary Hemorrhage Cont’d• Clinical presentation
– Bloody tracheal secretions– Respiratory distress, cyanosis– Cardiovascular instability
• Pulmonary function– Acute decrease in lung compliance– Severe hypoxemia
• Management – Increase PEEP to enhance alveolar distention and impede
pulmonary blood flow– Assess clotting factors and administer blood products as needed– Treat PDA– Consider echocardiogram to assess left ventricular function
