摘要

Purpose

An appropriate interface is essential for the success of home mechanical ventilation (HMV). The objective of the study was to describe the interfaces used in a large cohort of children.

Methods

The underlying disorder, model of interface, age, weight, and head circumference (for children < 3 years old) at HMV initiation, were gathered. The patients were divided by categories of age and disorder (children < 3 years old).

Results

The data were available for 476 interfaces from 380 patients. Mean age was 6.4 ± 5.9 (range 0.02–23.1) years old. The most common interface was the pediatric Soft baby XS nasal interface (Air Liquide; n = 100). The second most used interface was the adult Wisp nasal interface (Philips Respironics, n = 69). The interface used at the youngest age was the Soft baby XXS nasal interface (mean age 0.2 ± 0.2 years old). For children < 1 year old, 2 different interfaces were used with different sizes of headgear and/or cushion. From 3 years old, a larger range of interfaces was used, and from 12 years old, only 3/108 (3%) patients used a pediatric interface. The patient with the minimal head circumference had Robin sequence, and the one with the maximal head circumference had a faciostenosis.

Conclusion

As expected, the most used interface was a pediatric nasal mask, but interestingly an adult nasal mask was the second most used interface. The choice is still limited in young children. A larger range of interfaces, especially for young children, and custom-made interfaces for selected patients, may facilitate the implementation of HMV worldwide.
