Abstract
Background The carotid bodies primarily serve as oxaemia sensors that affect tidal breathing. Their function has not yet been studied in infants with nocturnal hypoxaemia. This cross-sectional study aimed to characterise the hyperoxic ventilatory response (HVR) in infants and its relationship to nocturnal hypoxaemia. Methods The HVR was analysed in term infants aged <24 months with childhood interstitial lung disease (chILD), those with severe recurrent wheezing (wheeze), and nonrespiratory controls. The HVR timing was characterised using hyperoxia response time (HRT1), and HVR magnitude was characterised by the relative change in minute volume between normoxia and 30-s hyperoxia (VE_dH30). Time spent with an arterial haemoglobin oxygen saturation (SpO2) <90% during overnight monitoring (t90) was estimated. Results HVR data were available for 23 infants with chILD, 24 wheeze and 14 control infants. A significant decrease in minute volume under 30 s of hyperoxia was observed in all patients. HRT1 was shorter in chILD (5.6±1.2 s) and wheeze (5.9±1.5 s) groups than in the controls (12.6±5.5 s) (ANOVA p<0.001). VE_dH30 was increased in the chILD group (24.3±8.0%) compared with that in the controls (14.7±9.2%) (p=0.003). t90 was abnormal in the wheeze (8.0±5.0%) and chILD (32.7±25.8%) groups and higher in the chILD group than in the controls (p<0.001). HRT1 negatively correlated with t90 in all groups. Conclusion Significant differences in HVR timing and magnitude were noted in the chILD, wheeze and control groups. A relationship between nocturnal hypoxaemia and HRT1 was proposed. HVR characterisation may help identify patients with abnormal nocturnal SpO2.

Time to get serious about the detection and monitoring of early lung disease in cystic fibrosis. Thorax 2021; 76:1255-1265. [PMID: 33927017 DOI: 10.1136/thoraxjnl-2020-216085] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2020] [Revised: 02/24/2021] [Accepted: 03/10/2021] [Indexed: 12/26/2022]
Abstract
Structural and functional defects within the lungs of children with cystic fibrosis (CF) are detectable soon after birth and progress throughout preschool years often without overt clinical signs or symptoms. By school age, most children have structural changes such as bronchiectasis or gas trapping/hypoperfusion and lung function abnormalities that persist into later life. Despite improved survival, gains in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) achieved across successive birth cohorts during childhood have plateaued, and rates of FEV1 decline in adolescence and adulthood have not slowed. This suggests that interventions aimed at preventing lung disease should be targeted to mild disease and commence in early life. Spirometry-based classifications of 'normal' (FEV1≥90% predicted) and 'mild lung disease' (FEV1 70%-89% predicted) are inappropriate, given the failure of spirometry to detect significant structural or functional abnormalities shown by more sensitive imaging and lung function techniques. The state and readiness of two imaging (CT and MRI) and two functional (multiple breath washout and oscillometry) tools for the detection and monitoring of early lung disease in children and adults with CF are discussed in this article.Prospective research programmes and technological advances in these techniques mean that well-designed interventional trials in early lung disease, particularly in young children and infants, are possible. Age appropriate, randomised controlled trials are critical to determine the safety, efficacy and best use of new therapies in young children. Regulatory bodies continue to approve medications in young children based on safety data alone and extrapolation of efficacy results from older age groups. Harnessing the complementary information from structural and functional tools, with measures of inflammation and infection, will significantly advance our understanding of early CF lung disease pathophysiology and responses to therapy. Defining clinical utility for these novel techniques will require effective collaboration across multiple disciplines to address important remaining research questions. Future impact on existing management burden for patients with CF and their family must be considered, assessed and minimised.To address the possible role of these techniques in early lung disease, a meeting of international leaders and experts in the field was convened in August 2019 at the Australiasian Cystic Fibrosis Conference. The meeting entitiled 'Shaping imaging and functional testing for early disease detection of lung disease in Cystic Fibrosis', was attended by representatives across the range of disciplines involved in modern CF care. This document summarises the proceedings, key priorities and important research questions highlighted.

Abstract
Despite early diagnosis of cystic fibrosis (CF) through newborn screening, a substantial proportion of infants and young children with CF still demonstrate physiologic and structural evidence of lung disease progression, such as obstructive airway disease and bronchiectasis. The growing availability of highly effective CF transmembrane conductance regulatory modulator therapy to the vast majority of people with CF has led to the potential to alter the natural history of CF lung disease, but to assess the full impact of these therapies on CF lung disease and to help guide treatment, sensitive measures of early and mild disease are needed. Chest imaging using computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging is one approach, but technologic barriers and/or concern about exposure to ionizing radiation may limit its use. However, advances in physiologic measurement techniques and exhaled breath analysis offer another option for assessment of CF lung disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the predictive value of cumulative oxygen exposure thresholds over the first 2 postnatal weeks, linking them to bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and 1-year pulmonary morbidity and lung function in extremely low gestational age newborns. STUDY DESIGN Infants (N = 704) enrolled in the Prematurity and Respiratory Outcomes Program, a multicenter prospective cohort study, that survived to discharge were followed through their neonatal intensive care unit hospitalization to 1-year corrected age. Cumulative oxygen exposure (OxygenAUC14) thresholds were derived from univariate models of BPD, stratifying infants into high-, intermediate-, and low-oxygen exposure groups. These groups were then used in multivariate logistic regressions to prospectively predict post-prematurity respiratory disease (PRD), respiratory morbidity score (RMS) in the entire cohort, and pulmonary function z scores (N = 108 subset of infants) at 1-year corrected age. RESULTS Over the first 14 postnatal days, infants exposed to high oxygen averaged ≥33.1% oxygen, infants exposed to intermediate oxygen averaged 29.1%-33.1%, and infants exposed to low oxygen were below both cutoffs. In multivariate models, infants exposed to high oxygen showed increased PRD and RMS, whereas infants exposed to intermediate oxygen demonstrated increased moderate/severe RMS. Infants in the high/intermediate groups had decreased forced expiratory volume at 0.5 seconds/forced vital capacity ratio. CONCLUSIONS OxygenAUC14 establishes 3 thresholds of oxygen exposure that risk stratify infants early in their neonatal course, thereby predicting short-term (BPD) and 1-year (PRD, RMS) respiratory morbidity. Infants with greater OxygenAUC14 have altered pulmonary function tests at 1 year of age, indicating early evidence of obstructive lung disease and flow limitation, which may predispose extremely low gestational age newborns to increased long-term pulmonary morbidity.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE Intranasal dexmedetomidine (DEX) can provide adequate sedation during short examinations in children. However, we found no data regarding the 95% effective dose (ED95) of intranasal DEX for children's pulmonary function testing (PFT). DESIGN Prospective study and a biased coin design up-and-down sequential method. SETTING Sedation center of Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University. PATIENTS Children aged 1-3 years undergoing pulmonary function testing. INTERVENTION The dose of DEX for each subsequent patient was determined by the response of the previous patient with the biased coin design up-and-down sequential method with an interval of 0.25 μg∙kg-1. MEASUREMENTS Children aged 1-3 years who received pulmonary function testing were involved in this dose-finding trial. Intranasal DEX started at a dose of 2 μg∙kg-1 on the first patient. The dose of DEX for each subsequent patient was determined by the response of the previous patient with the biased coin design up-and-down sequential method with an interval of 0.25 μg∙kg-1. The sedation was assessed by the Modified Observer Assessment of Alertness and Sedation (MOAA/S) scale, and recovery was assessed by the modified Aldrete recovery score. The ED95 was calculated using isotonic regression. Other variables, including the sedation onset time, examination time, wake-up time, blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR), and oxyhaemoglobin desaturation (SpO2), were recorded. Adverse events such as hypotension, bradycardia, respiration depression, oxyhaemoglobin desaturation, regurgitation and vomiting were recorded. MAIN RESULTS A total of 68 children were enrolled for the study; 62 children had successful sedation, and 6 had failed sedation. The ED95 of intranasal DEX was estimated to be 2.64 μg∙kg-1 [95% confidence interval (CI), 2.49-2.87 μg∙kg-1]. The sedation onset time for all patients was 15.0 (12.3-19.0) min. The sedation onset time of successful sedation patients was 15.0 (12.0-19.0) min, the sedation onset time of failed sedation patients was 16.0 (15.0-27.8) min, the examination time was 8 (7-10) min, and the wake-up time was 40 (35-43) min. There were no adverse events during the whole procedure. CONCLUSION The ED95 of intranasal DEX sedation in children aged 1-3 years undergoing PFT was 2.64 μg∙kg-1.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prolonged slow expiration (PSE) is a manual chest physical therapy technique routinely performed in clinical practice. However, the reliability and agreement of the technique have not been tested. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to assess reliability and agreement between physical therapists during the application of PSE in infants with wheezing. DESIGN This was a cross-sectional study. METHODS Infants with a mean age of 59 weeks (SD = 26 weeks) were included in this study. Two physical therapists (physical therapist 1 and physical therapist 2) randomly performed 3 PSE sequences (A, B, and C). The expiratory reserve volume (ERV) was measured with a pneumotachograph connected to a face mask. ERV was used to evaluate the reproducibility of the technique between sequences and between physical therapist 1 and physical therapist 2. RESULTS The mean ERV of the infants was 63 mL (SD = 21 mL). There was no statistically significant difference between the ERV values in the 3 sequences for physical therapist 1 (A: mean = 46.6 mL [SD = 17.8 mL]; B: mean = 45.7 mL [SD = 19.9 mL]; C: mean = 53.3 mL [SD = 26.3 mL]) and physical therapist 2 (A: mean = 43.5 mL [SD = 15.4 mL]; B: mean = 43.2 mL [SD = 18.3 mL]; C: mean = 44.8 mL [SD = 25.0 mL]). There was excellent reliability between the sequences for physical therapist 1 (ICC = 0.88 [95% CI = 0.63-0.95]) and physical therapist 2 (ICC = 0.82 [95% CI = 0.48-0.93]). Moderate agreement was observed between physical therapist 1 and physical therapist 2 (ICC = 0.67 [95% CI = 0.01-0.88]). According to Bland-Altman analysis, the mean difference between physical therapist 1 and physical therapist 2 was 4.1 mL (95% CI = -38.5 to 46.5 mL). LIMITATIONS The data were collected in infants with wheezing who were not in crisis. This decreased lung mucus; however, it also reduced evaluation risks. CONCLUSIONS PSE was a reproducible chest physical therapy technique between physical therapists.

Abstract
It is not known at what age lung function impairment may arise in children with cystic fibrosis (CF). We assessed lung function shortly after birth in infants with CF diagnosed by newborn screening.We performed infant lung function measurements in a prospective cohort of infants with CF and healthy controls. We assessed lung clearance index (LCI), functional residual capacity (FRC) and tidal breathing parameters. The primary outcome was prevalence and severity of abnormal lung function (±1.64 z-scores) in CF.We enrolled 53 infants with CF (mean age 7.8 weeks) and 57 controls (mean age 5.2 weeks). Compared to controls, LCI and FRC were elevated (mean difference 0.30, 95% CI 0.02-0.60; p=0.034 and 14.5 mL, 95% CI 7.7-21.3 mL; p<0.001, respectively), while ratio of time to peak tidal expiratory flow to expiratory time was decreased in infants with CF. In 22 (41.5%) infants with CF, either LCI or FRC exceeded 1.64 z-scores; three infants had both elevated LCI and FRC.Shortly after birth, abnormal lung function is prevalent in CF infants. Ventilation inhomogeneity or hyperinflation may serve as noninvasive markers to monitor CF lung disease and specific treatment effects, and could thus be used as outcome parameters for future intervention studies in this age group.

Abstract
Background Perinatal vitamin D deficiency is associated with a higher risk of wheezing in childhood. However, the relationship between vitamin D levels and lung function in infancy has not been investigated. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of perinatal vitamin D levels on respiratory function and disease outcome in infancy. Materials and methods Full-term infants without any chronic diseases or major anomalies were enrolled in the Prediction of Allergies in Taiwanese Children cohort study. Maternal and cord blood were collected for determining the 25(OH)D level. Questionnaires were recorded at birth and 6 months of age. Infant lung function, including tidal breathing analysis, respiratory mechanics, and forced tidal expiration, was tested at 6 months of age. Results A total of 122 mother—infant pairs were enrolled in this study, and 71 infants underwent lung function testing at 6 months of age. 25(OH)D levels in maternal and cord serum were highly correlated (r2 = 0.457, p < 0.0001). Infants with lower cord serum 25(OH)D levels (< 13.7 ng/ml) had higher resistance of respiratory system (p < 0.01) and a higher risk of a respiratory tract infection before the age of 6 months (p < 0.01). Conclusion Although a high correlation was found between maternal and cord vitamin D levels, the effect on respiratory outcome was different. Our study is the first to show that low cord 25(OH)D levels significantly relationship with poorer lung function performance and higher likelihood of a respiratory tract infection before 6 months of age.

Abstract
Objective: To describe the efficacy and safety of chloral hydrate sedation in infants for pulmonary function tests. Methods: All sedation attempts for pulmonary function tests in infants carried out between June 2007 and August 2014 were evaluated. Obstructive sleep apnea and heart disease were contraindications to the exams. Anthropometric data, exam indication, used dose, outcomes of sedation and clinical events were recorded and described. Results: The sedation attempts in 277 infants (165 boys) with a median age of 51.5 weeks of life (14-182 weeks) were evaluated. The main indication for the tests was recurrent wheezing (56%) and the chloral hydrate dose ranged from 50 to 80mg/kg (orally). Eighteen (6.5%) infants had some type of clinical complication, with the most frequent being cough and/or airway secretion (1.8%); respiratory distress (1.4%) and vomiting (1.1%). A preterm infant had bradycardia for approximately 15 minutes, which was responsive to tactile stimulation. All observed adverse effects were transient and there was no need for resuscitation or use of injectable medications. Conclusions: The data demonstrated that chloral hydrate at the employed doses is a safe and effective medicament for sedation during short procedures in infants, such as pulmonary function tests. Because of the possibility of severe adverse events, recommendations on doses and contraindications should be strictly followed and infants should be monitored by trained staff.

Abstract
For the last thirty years, oral chloral hydrate has been used for sedation of infants for lung function testing. Recently, however, availability of chloral hydrate became severely limited in the United States after two manufacturers discontinued manufacturing in 2012. Due to these limitations and the recent and ongoing shortage of chloral hydrate, other medications have been proposed for lung function testing, including midazolam and propofol. Herein, we describe our limited experience using intravenous dexmedetomedine (DMED), a medication thus far described as having minimal effect on pulmonary function or respiratory drive.
