Abstract EN
Objective.
To review experience of the transport and stabilization of infants with CDH who were treated with high frequency jet ventilation (HFJV).
Study Design.
Retrospective chart review was performed of infants with antenatal diagnosis of CDH born between 2004 and 2009, at Mount Sinai Hospital Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Detailed information was abstracted from the charts of all infants who received HFJV.
Results.
Of the 55 infants, 25 were managed with HFJV at some point during resuscitation and stabilization prior to transport.
HFJV was the initial ventilation mode in six cases and nineteen infants were placed on HFJV as rescue therapy.
Blood gases procured from the umbilical artery before and/or after the initiation of HFJV.
There was a significant difference detected for both PaCO2 (P=0.0002) and pH (P<0.0001).
The pre- and posttransport vital signs remained stable and no transport related deaths or significant complications occurred.
Conclusion.
HFJV appears to be safe and effective providing high frequency rescue therapy for infants with CDH failing conventional mechanical ventilation.
This paper supports the decision to utilize HFJV as it likely contributed to safe transport of many infants that would not otherwise have tolerated transport to a surgical centre.
