    2021, 36(3): 174-178.  DOI: 10.19538/j.ek2021030603
    Abstract ( )  
    Home mechanical ventilation(HMV) has been developed for more than 40 years in foreign countries,and with the progress of medicine,even in developing countries,it can provide medical support and protection for children with HMV. Effective HMV can reduce the hospitalization expenses of PICU,improve the survival rate and quality of life of children. At present,the demand for HMV at home and abroad is growing rapidly,different countries have different diagnosis and treatment suggestions for different diseases(such as bronchopulmonary dysplasia,muscular dystrophy,spinal muscular atrophy,central hypoventilation syndrome and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome,etc.) and the family medical economic and social psychological burden is also different,which depends on the local medical security system. This paper gives an overview.
    Management of airway mucus hypersecretion in children
    YAO Hui-sheng,HAN Xiao-hua
    2021, 36(3): 178-184.  DOI: 10.19538/j.ek2021030604
    Abstract ( )  
    Airway mucus is usually the first line of defense of respiratory tract and an important part of innate immunity. However,the abnormal secretion can result in airway mucus hypersecretion,mucus accumulation and airway obstruction,which can cause ventilation dysfunction;at the same time,excessive mucus can reduce mucociliary clearance function and local defense function,leading to repeated respiratory tract infection. Airway mucus hypersecretion is closely related to  bronchial asthma, cystic fibrosis,bronchiectasis,lower respiratory tract infection and other diseases,which is an important factor affecting the occurrence,development and prognosis of these diseases. Clinicians should fully realize the importance of strengthening the management of airway mucus hypersecretion in children,and select appropriate physical therapy methods on the basis of drug therapy.

    Abstract ( )  
    Oxygen therapy is a routine and essential treatment for patients with hypoxemia caused by various causes. It refers to the treatment of using oxygen at a concentration higher than that in the atmosphere. Hypoxemia may occur in childhood in a variety of respiratory and non-respiratory diseases. Oxygen therapy has been used in pediatrics for more than 100 years. Timely,rapid,effective and reasonable oxygen therapy is an important means to improve the quality of life and prognosis of critical pediatric patients with chronic respiratory diseases. In this paper,the application indications of oxygen therapy in pediatric common respiratory diseases and the selection of treatment methods are described in detail. Home oxygen therapy is one of the important means to treat hypoxemia caused by chronic respiratory disease . It is effective,easy to use,safe and economical. However,in the process of its use,a clear treatment plan should be formulated to avoid the harm of hyperoxygen and standardize the target oxygen intake.

    FAN Jiang-hua,KANG Xia-yan, ZHANG Xin-ping, et al
    2021, 36(3): 205-210.  DOI: 10.19538/j.ek2021030611
    Abstract ( )  
    Objective To explore the predictive value of noninvasive hemodynamic monitoring for fluid therapy volumetrical responsiveness in children with septic shock. Methods A total of  92 children with septic shock admitted to PICU Department of Hunan Children’s Hospital between February 2018 to March 2020 were enrolled. Hemodynamic parameters of all children were supervised by ICON noninvasive cardiac output monitoring(NICOM). The hemodynamic parameters included cardiac index(CI), stroke volume index(SVI) and systemic vascular resistance index(SVRI), etc. According to the △SVI, the patients were assigned into two groups,responsive group with a △SVI ≥10% and non-responsive group with a △SVI<10%. The changes in hemodynamic indexes before and after fluid therapy in the two groups were compared, and the predictive value of SVV, CI and SVI in fluid responsiveness was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve. Results 1. There was no difference in age, gender, infection source, infection site PCIS or SOFA scores between the two groups(P>0.05). Both groups received mechanical ventilation, and the mechanical ventilation parameters were not statistically different(P>0.05); the incidence and mortality of pulmonary edema were significantly higher and the length of hospital stay and time on the machine were significantly longer in the non-responsive group than those in the responsive group after fluid therapy. 2. There were statistically significant differences in CI and SVI between the responsive group and the non-responsive group before treatment[CI (2.55±0.63) L/(min·m2) vs. (3.12±0.75) L/(min·m2); SVI (35.8±10.37) mL/(min·m2) vs.(40.5±6.3) mL/(min·m2). The CI, SVI and EF after fluid therapy were significantly higher after treatment than before fluid therapy, while HR, SVRI and SVV were significantly lower, which had  statistically significant differences(P<0.05), but the increase in TFC was not significant(P>0.05). There was no obvious change in CI, SVV, SVI or SVRI before and after therapy(P>0.05) in the non-responsive group, but TFC was significantly higher after fluid therapy(P<0.05). 3. ROC curve analysis showed that SVV, SVI and CI had predictive value for volume responsiveness of liquid therapy. The area under the curve of SVV, SVI and CI was 0.836(95%CI 0.725~0.947), 0.778(95%CI 0.651~0.905) and 0.793(95%CI 0.663~0.922)(P<0.005), respectively. The sensitivity was 85.8% and the specificity was 80.3% when SVV≥13%, and they were 81.0% and 75.8% when SVI≤38 mL/(min·m2), and 78.5% and 79.2% when CI≤2.865 L/(min·m2). Conclusion NICOM can dynamically monitor the noninvasive hemodynamic indexes, and the SVV, SVI and CI can predict the fluid therapy volume responsiveness in children with septic shock. It is important in guiding early fluid resuscitation of septic shock and in optimizing fluid management and preload.

    2021, 36(3): 211-215.  DOI: 10.19538/j.ek2021030612
    Abstract ( )  
    Objective To observe and analyze the etiology of pulmonary hypertension in single-center children and the hospitalization outcomes and influencing factors of patients with different types of pulmonary hypertension. Methods A total of 1157 children with pulmonary hypertension diagnosed and treated in our hospital from January 2016 to December 2018 were selected. According to the inpatient data and discharge diagnosis,the etiology of pulmonary hypertension was classified according to the Expert Consensus on Diagnosis and Treatment of Pulmonary Artery Hypertension in Children issued in 2015 in China. Collect and record relevant clinical data during hospitalization. Results A total of 1099 pulmonary artery hypertension(PAH) patients were involved in this study(94.9%),of which APAH-CHD and PPHN were the main types,accounting for 84.7% and 8.0%,respectively. Of the patients with idiopathic PAH,3 patients died,6 patients gave up treatment,1 patient underwent surgery,and the remaining 5 patients were improved and discharged. Of the patients with APAH-CHD,a total of 676 patients were discharged after surgery,accounting for 68.9%. Totally 45 patients asked to be discharged,accounting for 4.6%,of which 80 abandoned treatment or died,accounting for 8.2%. A total of 52 patients took bosentan,and 2 of 52 patients took sildenafil. Six patients with PPHN were discharged from the hospital after surgery for other organs,accounting for 6.5%,and 66 patients were improved and discharged,accounting for 70.9%;14 patients were discharged or died,accounting for 15.1%. In patients with left heart disease-related PH,18 cases was improved after treatment,11 cases was discharged after surgery,accounting for 40.7%,and 7 cases gave up or died,accounting for 25.9%. In respiratory disease-related PH,1 case died,and 3 cases gave up treatment. In the patients with PH caused by unknown factors,there were 2 patients giving up treatment,1 case died,and 1 patient was discharged after palliative surgery. Conclusion Pulmonary hypertension in children is mainly APAH-CHD and PPHN. The children with idiopathic PAH or left heart disease-related PH have a poor prognosis.
    A questionnaire survey on current situation of pulmonary function testing and determination of fractional exhaled nitric oxide in children
    FENG Yong*,SHANG Yun-xiao,CHEN Rong,et al
    2021, 36(3): 216-222.  DOI: 10.19538/j.ek2021030613
    Abstract ( )  
    Objective To investigate the current situation of pulmonary function testing(PFT) and determination of fractional exhaled nitric oxide(FeNO) in children. Methods An electronic questionnaire survey was performed in 161 hospitals in Liaoning,Jilin,Heilongjiang,and Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region that had conducted or were willing to conduct PFT or FeNO determination in children from September 23 to November 23,2019. Results (1)A total of 161 hospitals participated in the survey,and PFT for children had been conducted in 40.99% of the responders. Compared with hospitals that had not conducted PFT for children,there was significantly higher proportion of tertiary hospitals,more pediatric beds,and  higher proportion of standardized pediatric asthma outpatient(P<0.05) in these hospitals. Compared with hospitals that had conducted PFT for children,those who had not yet done so thought that the equipment were expensive(19.70% vs. 72.63%) and it was difficult to make interpretation of the report(15.15% vs. 54.74%)(P<0.001).(2)Spirometry was the most common testing(100%),followed by bronchodilation test(80.30%),infant pulmonary function testing(45.45%) and impulse oscillometry(36.36%). Diffuse capacity,plethysmography and bronchial provocation test had been conducted relatively less(10.61%,7.58% and 4.55%,respectively). There was no significant difference in the number of examinations for the spirometry,impulse oscillometry,or infant pulmonary function testing in 2016,2017,and 2018(P> 0.05). (3)About 24.22%(39/161) of the hospitals had conducted FeNO determination for children,most of which were tertiary hospitals(87.18%). The most common method conducted was online single-breath measurement(89.74%),followed by offline tidal breath measurement(74.36%) and online nasal breath measurement(43.59%). There was no significant difference in the number of measurements for each method in 2016,2017,and 2018 or for each year among the three methods(P> 0.05). Conclusion  The application of PFT for children in Liaoning,Jilin,Heilongjiang and Inner Mongolia is not popular,especially in the primary hospitals. The hospitals which have conducted PFT should manage to conduct diffuse capacity and plethysmography for children. When conducting a bronchodilation test,the PFT method and the choice of bronchodilators should be paid attention to. Online single-breath measurement should be the main FeNO measurement for children,while the offline tidal-breath and the online nasal-breath measurements need to be further explored.
