Abstract:
Objective:To compare the effect of high frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) and conventional mechanical ventilation (CMV) in the treatment of pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).Methods:A prospective randomized controlled study was conducted on ARDS children treated with mechanical ventilation in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of Children′s Hospital, Capital Institute of Pediatric from January 2017 to December 2018.They were randomly (computer digital method) divided into HFOV group and CMV group.The basic data and clinical indicators, such as pediatric critical illness scores, oxygenation index (OI), blood gas, mechanical ventilation time, ventilator parameters, ICU hospitalization time, complications, prognosis, dynamic changes of inflammatory factors, use of sedative muscle relaxants and vasoactive drugs, were recorded.SPSS 22.0 software was used to analyze the data.The Mann Whitney U test was used for inter-group comparison.The χ2 test was adopted for the comparison of counting data. Results:A total of 45 children were included in the analysis.There were 21 cases in the HFOV group and 24 cases in the CMV group.Moderate and severe ARDS was detected in 34 cases, including 16 cases in the HFOV group and 18 cases in the CMV group.Compared with those in the CMV group, the levels of OI-24 h and OI-48 h in the HFOV group were significantly lower [7.4 (5.9, 8.6) vs.9.0 (6.7, 13.6), P=0.018] and [5.9 (5.2, 8.5) vs.9.2 (7.4, 12.4), P=0.001].The levels of OI-6 h [8.2(6.5, 10.0) vs.10.5(8.2, 13.0), P=0.037], OI-12 h[7.8(6.5, 9.0) vs.9.8(8.0, 12.8), P=0.009], OI-24 h [7.7(6.4, 8.6) vs.10.1(8.7, 15.5), P<0.001], OI-48 h [6.0(5.3, 8.6) vs.10.7(8.8, 13.1), P<0.001] and OI-72 h [5.8(5.0, 8.6) vs. 8.0(6.6, 10.6), P=0.031] in children with moderate to severe ARDS of the HFOV group were significantly lower than those of the CMV group.There were no significant differences in ICU hospitalization time, invasive mechanical ventilation time, total mechanical ventilation time, 28-day prognosis, vasoactive drugs, muscle relaxants, blood purification, fluid balance, inflammatory factors, intracranial hemorrhage and pneumothorax between the 2 groups. Conclusions:This study confirms that HFOV can improve the oxygenation level in pediatric patients with ARDS more rapidly than CMV.HFOV does not increase the incidence of complications such as pneumothorax and intracranial hemorrhage, and the use of vasoactive drugs and muscle relaxants, showing safety in clinical application.
