Summary

Delivering inhaled nitric oxide (NO) during high-frequency oscillation (HFO) is effective. Titration before the humidifier is best for stable NO delivery, while the INOvent system offers accuracy and precision.

BMJ open·2019

Area of Science:

  • Neonatal medicine
  • Pediatric critical care
  • Respiratory physiology

Background:

  • Inhaled nitric oxide (NO) is increasingly used for infants with hypoxemic respiratory failure.
  • High-frequency oscillation (HFO) is often combined with NO therapy in neonates.
  • Evaluating NO delivery methods during HFO is crucial for patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the efficacy of NO delivery during HFO.
  • To compare different titration sites within the HFO circuit.
  • To evaluate the performance of the INOvent Delivery System for NO administration.

Main Methods:

  • NO was titrated into the HFO circuit at pre-humidifier, post-humidifier, and after-bellows sites.
  • NO concentrations were measured using a chemiluminescence analyzer at various circuit points.

  • Different HFO settings, circuit types (soft/hard), and the INOvent system were tested.

    • Main Results:

    • Pre-humidifier titration resulted in minimal NO concentration fluctuations during HFO.
    • The INOvent Delivery System provided stable and accurate NO delivery across all settings.
    • NO delivery after the bellows was less accurate, and soft circuits showed better NO mixing.

    Conclusions:

    • NO mixing during HFO is acceptable with various injection sites, but pre-humidifier is preferred for stability.
    • The INOvent Delivery System is a user-friendly option for accurate and precise NO delivery during HFO.
    • Optimized NO delivery during HFO can improve treatment efficacy in neonates.
