Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) on cardiac function in children with pneumonia complicated with heart failure.Methods Twenty-two children with pneumonia complicated with heart failure were selected in emergency room of Beijing Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from Oct.2008 to Mar.2009,aged 1 month and 15 days to 2 years and 8 months,prospective clinical study.Cardiac function[including cardiac index(CI),heart rate(HR) and stroke volume index(SVI)] before and after NCPAP 0.04-0.05 kPa for 30 minutes were monitored by ultrasonic cardiac output monitoring(USCOM).Results After the application of 0.04-0.05 kPa NCPAP for 30 minutes,the heart rate decreased signi-ficantly [(173?10) beats/min vs (151?13) beats/min P0.05].Conclusions NCPAP might improve cardiac function by increasing stroke volume index and decreasing heart rate and respiratory rate in children with pneumonia complicated with heart failure.
