    Notes: Oto-palato-digital syndrome type 1 is a rare condition with several features of concern to the anaesthetist. We report a patient who developed respiratory depression 5 h after general anaesthesia. This was subsequently found to be due to brainstem compression secondary to congenital deformities of the skull base and cervical vertebrae.

    Notes: Abstract The management of 32 consecutive term infants referred with persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn were reviewed. Despite indices suggesting severe cardiorespiratory failure with a median alveolar-arterial oxygen gradient of 591 torr (inter-quartile range 432–618) and oxygenation index of 31 (18–44), all but one patient responded to conventional treatment with inhaled nitric oxide and high frequency oscillatory ventilation. Conclusion Patients should be referred early to centres where maximal conventional support can be offered before consideration for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.

    Timing of recovery of lung function after severe hypoxemic respiratory failure in children (1998)
    Springer

    Notes: Abstract Objective: To describe the timing of recovery of lung function after severe acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) in children. Design: A serial observational follow-up study of clinical and lung function measurements up to 53 months after acute illness. Setting: University pediatric intensive care unit in a national children's hospital. Patients: Five critically ill children aged 5–14 years. Interventions: None Results: Clinical recovery: each patient required a 3–5 month convalescence before being able to attend full-time school because of lethargy and dyspnea. All patients developed wheeze 3–12 months after illness and four received long-term bronchodilator therapy. Lung function recovery: for both the forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced vital capacity in the first second (FEV1) four patients had abnormally low values, regaining only 60–70 % of predicted values for their height and sex, and all of this improvement had occurred by 6–12 months after illness. Beyond this interval, patients remained on their same FVC and FEV1 centile. FEV1/FVC ratios were consistently within the normal range, indicating a predominantly restrictive defect. Changes in peak expiratory flow exhibited a time course of improvement similar to the other lung function tests. Conclusion: In children, pulmonary recovery after severe AHRF may occur for 6–12 months. A 1-year follow-up could offer a rational single point for assessment of outcome and long-term counselling of child and parents.

    The cerebral function analysing monitor in paediatric medical intensive care: Applications and limitations (1990)

    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Abstract Practical guidelines for continuous single channel EEG monitoring using the Cerebral Function Analysing Monitor (CFAM) have been outlined based on experience of 54 critically ill comatose and/or paralysed sedated children monitored for up to 9 days during the acute phase of illness. Fall in amplitude and slowing of frequency following either a cerebral insult or barbiturate administration as well as paroxysmal events were readily recognisable in the CFAM traces. Such changes could be used to (1) identify effects of cerebral insults (acute or cumulative), (2) recognise unstable patients exquisitely sensitive to aspects of standard care and (3) evaluate seizure control. Despite these useful contributions to clinical care, significant limitations were apparent. It is recommended that CFAM monitoring should be combined with serial conventional EEG recording in order to check the appropriateness of the cortical areas being monitored, the quality and type of signal being processed as well as the significance of the 1 or 2 channel CFAM findings in relation to global cerebral function.

    Combined lung injury, meningitis and cerebral edema: how permissive can hypercapnia be? (1998)

    Notes: Abstract We describe a patient with combined meningococcal septicemia and meningitis, cerebral edema and acute respiratory distress syndrome, in whom we balanced the conflicting carbon dioxide strategies for optimal pulmonary and neurological management using jugular oxygen saturation (SjvO2) monitoring to identify the upper limit of “tolerable” hypercapnia. Our observations suggest that significant acidosis was not well tolerated; however, cautious induction of pH down to 7.32 and an arterial carbondioxide tension (PaCO2) 〈 5.9 kPa was tolerated acutely without significant cerebral hyperemia. Moreover, with the development of metabolic compensation and normal pH, higher levels of PaCO2 could be permitted. In similar cerebro-pulmonary circumstances we suggest that these findings warrant consideration. Alternatively, invasive monitoring of SjvO2 could be undertaken so that patient-specific criteria for permissive hypercapnia can be determined.

    Acute hypoxemic respiratory failure in children: case mix and the utility of respiratory severity indices (1998)

    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Abstract Objective: Acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) is a common reason for emergency pediatric intensive care. An objective assessment of disease severity from acute physiological parameters would be of value in clinical practice and in the design of clinical trials. We hypothesised that there was a difference in the best early respiratory indices in those who died compared with those who survived. Design: A prospective observational study of 118 consecutive AHRF admissions with data analysis incorporating all blood gases. Setting: A pediatric intensive care unit in a national children's hospital. Interventions: None. Results: Mortality was 26/118, 22 % (95 % confidence interval 18–26 %). There were no significant differences in the best alveolar-arterial oxygen tension gradient (A-aDO2, torr), oxygenation index (OI), ventilation index (VI), or PaO2/FIO2 during the first 2 days of intensive care between the survivors and non-survivors. Only the mean airway pressure (MAP, cm H2O) used for supportive care was significantly different on days 0 and 1 (p K 0.05) with higher pressure being used in non-survivors. Multiple logistic regression analysis did not identify any gas exchange or ventilator parameter independently associated with mortality. Rather, all deaths were associated with coincident pathology or multi-organ system failure, or perceived treatment futility due to pre-existing diagnoses instead of unsupportable respiratory failure. When using previously published predictors of outcome (VI 〉 40 and OI 〉 40; A-aDO2 〉 450 for 24 h; A-aDO2 〉 470 or MAP 〉 23; or A-aDO2 〉 420) the risk of mortality was overestimated significantly in the current population. Conclusion: The original hypothesis was refuted. It appears that the outcome of AHRF in present day pediatric critical care is principally related to the severity of associated pathology and now no longer solely to the severity of respiratory failure. Further studies in larger series are needed to confirm these findings.
