Abstract:
OBJECTIVES:A pilot study to compare pulmonary mechanics in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) cohort, specifically, comparing lung elastance between male and female infants in the NICU. HYPOTHESIS:Anecdotally, male infants are harder to ventilate than females. We hypothesize that males have higher model-based elastance (converse: lower specific compliance) compared to females, reflecting underlying stiffer lungs. STUDY DESIGN:A clinically validated, single-compartment model is used to identify specific elastance (inverse of specific compliance) and resistance for each breath. Specific elastance accounts for weight differences when comparing male and female infants. Relative percent breath-to-breath variability (%ΔE) in specific elastance is also compared. Level of asynchrony was also determined. PATIENT-SUBJECT SELECTION:Ten invasively mechanically ventilated patients from Christchurch Women's Hospital. METHODOLOGY:Airway pressure and flow data from 10 invasive mechanical ventilation (MV) infants from Christchurch Women's Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, New Zealand was prospectively recorded under standard MV care. Model-based specific elastance and resistance are identified for each breath, as well as relative percent breath-to-breath variability (%ΔE) in specific elastance. RESULTS:Male infants overall had higher specific elastance compared to females infants (P ≤ .01), with median (interquartile range) for males of 1.91 (1.33-2.48) cmH2 O·kg/mL compared to 1.31 (0.86-2.02) cmH2 O·kg/mL in females. Male infants had lower variability with %ΔE of -0.03 (-7.56 to 8.01)% vs female infants of -0.59 (12.56-12.86)%. Males had 14.75% asynchronous breaths whereas females had 17.54%. CONCLUSION:Overall, males had higher specific elastance and correspondingly lower breath-to-breath variability. These results indicate male and female infants may require different MV settings, mode, and monitoring.
