Why Non-Invasive Support?
• Airway distending pressure to maintain FRC is the
cornerstone upon which all other support modalities
are built
• Less Chronic Lung Disease
• Fewer airway complications
• Fewer Infections
• Reduced inflammation
• Less stress for babies, families, and staff
• Lower cost

Question
of the day
??????????????????
Nasal CPAP: Physiologic Rationale
• Distending pressure recruits lung volume
• Increases and stabilizes FRC
• Splints upper airways and compliant chest wall
• Improves lung Compliance
• Reduces airway Resistance
• Decreases Work of Breathing
• Improves gas exchange
• Reduces apnea
NCPAP: Mechanisms of Delivery
• Constant flow: flow
opposition (conventional
vent)
• Patient expiratory flow
opposes system flow and an
expiratory resistor valve
• Constant flow: liquid seal
(bubble)
• Expiratory limb submerged in
liquid, with oscillatory nature
• Variable flow: “fluidic
flip” (Infant Flow)
• Inspiratory and expiratory
flow compensation via
fluidics engineering
All NCPAP devices are not created equal
Examples:
• Variable flow reduces WOB compared to conventional vent CPAP
(Lipsten et al, J Perinatol 2005)
• Variable flow may compensate better for mouth or seal leakage
• Bubble oscillations may improve lung recruitment
(Pillow et al, Am J Crit Care Med 2007)
• Bubble CPAP pressure delivery is flow dependent and not reliably
delivered relative to liquid depth (Kahn et al, Pediatr Res 2007)
• Bubble CPAP pressure delivery varies more than variable flow
CPAP (Kahn et al, Pediatr 2008)
• Nasal interfaces vary in resistance to flow
(DePaoli et al, Arch Dis Child Fetal Neonatal Ed 2002)
• Variable safety regarding alarms and expiratory limb obstruction risk

Clinical Correlations of different CPAP
Drivers and Interfaces
• Clinical studies often do not offer clear actionable
results
• Do mechanistic differences matter, or have they not
been discoverable with current studies?
• Babies have widely variable pathophysiology and
severity of illness
• Do the large pragmatic trials of NIRS strategies deliver
specific answers for relative efficacy when the “gold
standard” of CPAP is delivered with widely divergent
modalities?
NIPPV or SNIPPV:
Physiologic Rationale
• Benefits of NCPAP + additional tidal ventilation and/or lung
recruitment from higher MAP
• May reduce WOB relative to CPAP
(Aghai et al, Pediatr Pulmonol 2006; Chang et al, Ped Res 2011)
• Airway pressures actually delivered vary considerably from
settings (Owen et al, Arch Dis Child Fetal Neonat Ed. 2010 )
• Is variable pressure delivery favorable to lung function?
• Is apnea Improved through cyclic receptor stimulation?
• Synchronization may improve efficacy
• Unclear if NIPPV or bi-level CPAP is more efficacious
(Roberts et al, Pediatrics 2013)
• Are these modalities “Super CPAP”?

HFNC: Mechanisms of Action
Gas Conditioning Effects
• Reduces patient’s metabolic workload needed
for Heating and Humidifying
(Waugh et al, Granger, RespCare 2004)
• Improves mechanics
-H&H Increases Compliance and Conductance
(Greenspan et al, J Peds 1991)
HFNC: Mechanisms of Action
Flow Effects
• Improves lung mechanics
- Reduced inspiratory resistance => Reduced resistive Work of
Breathing (Saslow et al, J Perinatol 2006)
- Expiration: possible “Coanda” effect (Dysart et al, Resp Med 2009)
• Washout of Nasopharyngeal dead space => Improved gas
exchange (Frizzola et al, Pediatr Pulm 2011)
As flow increases, CO2 elimination > increase in MAP
Analogous to Trans Tracheal Catheter TGI
Washout of anatomical dead space
• Continuous flow washes out
the upper airways and leads
to improved oxygenation
Proposed flushing of
dead space at higher flows
Schibler et al, Int Care Med 2011
• Reservoir of fresh gas in
upper airway
• Avoids rebreathing of highCO2 gas in dead space

HFNC: Mechanisms of Action
Pressure Effects
• HFNC has been shown to provide positive distending
pressure
- Highly dependent on prong-to-nares diameter ratio
and degree of mouth closure (Locke et al, Pediatrics 1993;

Causes of variability of delivery of HFNC
• % nasal occlusion by catheter
• Characteristics of catheter design
• Characteristics of gas conditioning with heat and
humidity
• Mouth leak
• Variability in disease state of the patient

RAM Cannula used for “NCPAP”
• In bench tests, RAM cannula interface delivers 60% less
than the MAP set on the ventilator, even with mouth
closed
• With mouth open, delivered MAP is further reduced
• By design, RAM cannula is neither NCPAP nor HFNC
• Using 60-80% nares occlusion does not provide
sufficient seal to deliver CPAP.
• Due caution should be applied if using RAM cannula
interface to provide CPAP, pending further studies and
classification as a Class II Medical Device

Question
of the day
Does it matter which NIRS strategy is
used in a given patient or NICU?
Pulmonary Factors to Consider When
Evaluating NIRS Systems
Physiologic mechanisms imply that:
- NCPAP/NIPPV might be better for lung recruitment
- HFNC might be better for CO2 retention
- NIPPV might be better for apnea
BUT
Are we reasonably able to study these differences,
And are these differences clinically important?
Extra-pulmonary Factors to Consider
When Evaluating NIRS Systems
• Minimizing nasal septal injury
• Ease of nursing and respiratory therapy care
• Comfort for baby and family
• Noise pollution
• Promotion of infant development
• Cost –interface and disposables, amortized cost of
the driver, RRT and RN time, and possible impacts on
length of stay or severity of illness
NIRS: Summary and Challenges for this conference
• NCPAP, NIPPV, and HFNC all have physiologic
rationales and feasible mechanisms of action
• All provide varying degrees of respiratory support
which improve physiologic parameters and gas
exchange in neonates
• Little is known about which devices may be better
for different patho-physiologies or different
severities of illness
• Do the clinical trials have sufficient numbers or
stratification of diagnoses and severity of illness to
differentiate the utility of these modalities? OR,
NIRS: Summary and Challenges for this conference
• Are we left with the current state in which
clinicians apply well-studied, safe NIRS
techniques according to unit or provider
preference, matching the device to the baby’s
needs, and response to therapy?
• Are “more randomized trials” the answer, or
should we steer towards other research
methodologies?
