摘要

Background

Positive pressure ventilation (PPV) with high variability in delivered tidal volume (TV) may cause volutrauma. We aimed to assess feasibility of providing Volume Targeted-Positive Pressure Ventilation (VT-PPV) to preterm infants receiving invasive mechanical ventilation via endotracheal tube in the delivery room (DR).

Design/methods

TV measurements were available from a respiratory function monitor (RFM) to adjust peak inspiratory pressures to target TV of 4–6 ml/kg for participants in the intervention cohort (VT-PPV). This data was compared with a historic cohort (HC), where providers were blinded from RFM measurements.

Results

With VT-PPV, goal TV (4–6 ml/kg) was provided 40.1% of times (vs. HC:23.6%, p = 0.002); low TV (<4 ml/kg) was provided 8.6% of times (vs. HC:28.1%, p ≤ 0.001). There was no difference in higher TV provided in the two cohorts.

Conclusion:

Providing VT-PPV in intubated preterm infants may be feasible in DR and may result in increased number of breaths in target range.
