Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To determine the high-risk factors for early failure of high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) oxygen therapy in children with acute respiratory insufficiency (ARI).
METHODS:The clinical data of 123 children with ARI were reviewed who received HFNC oxygen therapy in the pediatric intensive care unit from January to June, 2018. The children who did not require an upgrade of respiratory support during hospitalization and were successfully weaned from HFNC were classified as HFNC success group (69 cases). Of the remaining children (54 cases) who required an upgrade of their respiratory support during hospitalization, those that needed to upgrade their respiratory support within 48 hours of receiving HFNC were classified as early HFNC failure group (46 cases). Risk factors for early failure of HFNC were determined using multivariate logistic regression analysis.
RESULTS:The incidence rates of shock, sepsis, intracranial hypertension syndrome, and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome were significantly higher in the early HFNC failure group than in the HFNC success group (P<0.05). Before implementation of respiratory support, the early HFNC failure group had significantly lower Glasgow coma score, pH value, and oxygenation index and significantly higher Pediatric Risk of Mortality (PRISM) score and PaCO/PaO ratio than the HFNC success group (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that PRISM score >4.5 and PaCO/PaO ratio >0.64 were independent risk factors for early HFNC failure (OR=5.535 and 9.089 respectively; P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONS:Pediatric ARI patients with PRISM score >4.5 or PaCO/PaO ratio >0.64 have relatively high risk of early HFNC failure.
