ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
Concerns remain on different alveolar deposition of surfactant between LISA and INSURE methods. Ultrasound evaluation of diaphragm kinetics may provide clinical evidence on this issue, as indirect representation of the respiratory system compliance.METHODS:
This was a prospective-observational pilot study. The inclusion criterion was CPAP-supported infants ≤ 32 weeks with RDS receiving surfactant via minimally invasive technique. 52 patients randomized for surfactant administration via LISA or INSURE methods were enrolled. Right diaphragm (RD) global mean peak velocity (MPV) by Pulsed-Wave Tissue Doppler Imaging (PTDI) was recorded before and two hours after surfactant administration with simultaneous measurements of oxygen saturation (SpO2)/fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) (SF ratio). Mechanical ventilation ≤ 72 h from birth represented treatment failure.RESULTS:
LISA infants had significantly higher gestational age (p = 0.029) and birth weight (p = 0.030) with lower CRIB-II scores (p = 0.030) than INSURE infants. LISA infants showed higher median MPV at baseline RD-PTDI US assessment (p = 0.024), but post-surfactant median MPV and other the investigated variables were similar at the adjusted analysis for gestational age and sedation. 8/52 (15%) infants who failed treatment had a significantly lower SF ratio (p = 0.002) and higher median MPV at RD-PTDI US (p = 0.004) after surfactant administration, despite the higher CPAP support level before (p = 0.007) and after (p = 0.001) surfactant administration. A full course of antenatal steroids was protective against mechanical ventilation (p = 0.038).CONCLUSIONS:
Different minimally invasive surfactant administration techniques do not appear to influence diaphragm kinetics evaluated by RD-PTDI US.Palabras clave
