Continuous positive airway pressure in bronchiolitis.

J M Beasley, S E Jones

    British Medical Journal (Clinical Research Ed.)
    |December 5, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) effectively treats respiratory insufficiency in infants with bronchiolitis. Nasal CPAP is a safe and effective method, showing significant clinical improvement and reduced respiratory rates.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatrics
    • Respiratory Medicine
    • Neonatology

    Background:

    • Bronchiolitis is a common cause of respiratory insufficiency in infants.
    • Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is a potential treatment modality.
    • Evaluating CPAP's efficacy and safety in this population is crucial.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the effectiveness of CPAP in infants with bronchiolitis.
    • To compare outcomes between nasal CPAP and endotracheal CPAP.
    • To identify factors associated with a positive response to CPAP.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective study of 23 infants with bronchiolitis managed with CPAP over five years.
    • CPAP delivered via nasal cannula (14 patients) or endotracheal tube (9 patients).
    • Clinical assessment and measurement of respiratory rate, pulse rate, and arterial carbon dioxide pressure (PCO2).

    Main Results:

    • All 23 infants showed clinical improvement with CPAP.
    • Significant reductions observed in mean respiratory rate, pulse rate, and PCO2.
    • Infants with initial PCO2 > 8.0 KPa demonstrated particularly good response.
    • Nasal CPAP application was associated with minimal complications.

    Conclusions:

    • CPAP is an effective treatment for infants experiencing respiratory insufficiency due to bronchiolitis.
    • Nasal CPAP is a safe and well-tolerated method for delivering CPAP in this patient group.
    • CPAP can lead to significant physiological improvements in infants with severe bronchiolitis.
