Effect of Mechanical Ventilator Weaning Protocols on Respiratory Outcomes in Infants and Children: A Randomized Controlled Trial In contrast with adult patients, the majority of children are weaned from mechanical ventilator support in 2 days or less. Weaning protocols did not significantly shorten this brief duration of weaning. Adrienne G. Randolph et al. JAMA 2002; 288(20): 2561 -2568
Weaning: The key questions 1. Is the cause of respiratory failure gone or getting better ? 2. Is the patient well oxygenated and ventilated ? 3. Can the heart tolerate the increased work of breathing ?
Discontinuation of Mechanical Ventilation To discontinue mechanical ventilation requires: – Patient preparation – Assessment of readiness Ø For independent breathing Ø For extubation – A brief trial of minimally assisted breathing Ø An assessment of probable upper airway patency after extubation – Either abrupt or gradual withdrawal of positive pressure, depending on the patient’s readiness
Factors that may contribute to extubation failure in pediatric patients • young age • duration of mechanical ventilation • prolonged treatment with sedatives and analgesics Fontela PS, Piva JP, Garcia PC, et al. Risk factors for extubation failure in mechanically ventilated pediatric patients. Pediatr Crit Care Med 2005; 6166– 170.
Failure rate of planned extubations of patients within the first 48 hrs of arrival in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) is, on average, half that of the rate for patients ventilated for longer than 48 hrs. Kurachek SC et al. Crit Care Med 2003; 31: 2657– 2664
Ventilation > 48 hours: contrary to common perception there is no relationship between the duration of MV and rates of failed extubation Kurachek SC et al. Crit Care Med 2003; 31: 2657– 2664
Concepts of Weaning
Classical Methods for Gradually Withdrawing Ventilator Support
The most common weaning approach: gradual reduction of ventilatory support 1) By reducing ventilatroy rate: IMV or SIMV 2) By reducing inspiratory pressure: PS PS is often combined with IMV/SIMV during weaning Volume support and volume-assured pressure support are special forms of PS available in certain ventilators that guarantee a minimal tidal volume per assisted breath. Weaning with volume support is semiautomatic, where the PS level required to maintain a certain tidal volume is reduced automatically as respiratory mechanics improve.
Getting ready for extubation • Weaning – decrease the PEEP (4 -5) – decrease the rate – decrease the PIP (as needed) • What you want to do is decrease what the vent does and see if the patient can make up the difference….

Spontaneous Breathing Trials and Extubation Readiness Tests
Spontanoeus Breathing Test (SBT) SBT conducted on PS of 10 cm H 2 O versus SBT using a T-piece no difference Farias JA et al. Intensive Care Med 2001; 27: 1649– 1654 Of the 323 patients (77%) who passed the SBT and were extubated, 14% were reintubated within 48 hrs. Respiratory rate, tidal volume, rapid shallow breathing index (RSBI), and maximal negative inspiratory pressure (PImax) were all poor predictors of extubation outcome. Farias JA et al. Intensive Care Med 2002; 28: 752– 757
Rapid Shallow Breathing Index (RSBI): f/VT The frequency to tidal volume ratio (or rapid shallow breathing index, RSBI) is a simple and useful integrative indicator of the balance between power supply and power demand. In adults: A rapid shallow breathing index < 100 generally indicates adequate power reserve. In this instance, the RSBI indicated that spontaneous breathing without pressure support was not tolerable, likely due in part to the development of gas trapping.
Limitations of RSBI in children wide range of age groups with different respiratory rates
Weaning failure: Objective Criteria RR above normal age limits: < 6 months: 20– 60 breaths/min < 2 years: 15– 45 breaths/min < 5 years: 10– 35 breaths/min or > 1, 5 x normal F. Leclerc, O. Noizet, W.

Rapid Shallow Breathing Index (RSBI): f/VT Compliance, Resistance, Oxygenation, Pressure Index (CROP Index): (Dynamic Compliance x Maximal Negative Inspiratory Pressure x (Pa. O 2/PAO 2)/ Respiratory Rate)

Rapid Shallow Breathing Index (RSBI): f/VT Compliance, Resistance, Oxygenation, Pressure Index (CROP Index): (Dynamic Compliance x Maximal Negative Inspiratory Pressure x (Pa. O 2/PAO 2)/ Respiratory Rate) Volumetric Capnography: physiologic dead space (VD/VT)
Measurement of End-tidal CO 2 and Dead Space The Single Breath CO 2 Curve Phase 1: - airway deadspace Phase 2: - mixing of airway deadspace and alveolar gas Phase 3: - alveolar volume
The Single Breath CO 2 Curve with added Pa. CO 2 value Area X = volume of CO 2 Area Y = wasted ventilation due to alveolar deadspace Area Z = wasted ventilation due to airway deadspace Physiologic VD / VT Physiologic Deadspace Alveolar Deadspace = (Y+Z) / (X+Y+Z) = (VD / VT) * (VT) = VD phys - VD airway
Deadspace to tidal volume ratio predicts successful extubation in infants and children VD/VT ≤ 0. 50 reliably predicts extubation success with 75% sensitivity and 92% specificity, whereas a VD/VT > 0. 65 identified patients at risk for failure Hubble CL, Gentile MA, Tripp DS, et al: Crit Care Med 2000; 28: 2034– 2040
The Single Breath CO 2 Curve and VCO 2 Airway deadspace (VD airway) = area p Volume of CO 2 = area X. Adding volumes of each breath gives CO 2 elimination in ml / min
Volumetric CO 2 recording MV SV not present VCO 2 Not ready to extubate
Volumetric CO 2 Monitoring • Watch VCO 2 (CO 2 elimination) over time as wean ventilator • If mechanical ventilation taken over by spontaneous ventilation with VCO 2 remaining stable or increasing, then probably approaching extubation point

Prophylactic systemic corticosteroids in an attempt to minimize post-extubation stridor ? Reduced incidence of post-extubation stridor in both neonatal and pediatric patients Trend towards decreased rates of re-intubation in the corticosteroid groups (statistically not significant) But there was considerable variation noted in the pediatric trials examined in this meta-analysis, which the authors attributed to possible differences in risk among the populations studied.

Prophylactic systemic corticosteroids in an attempt to minimize post-extubation stridor ? In neonates: RR 0. 42; 95% CI 0. 07 to 2. 32 In children: significantly reduced in children with underlying airway abnormalities (n = 62) but not in the study that excluded these children (n = 153) In adults (n = 1953) RR 0. 48; 95% CI 0. 19 to 1. 22 for reintubation RR 0. 47; 95% CI 0. 22 to 0. 99 for stridor Markovitz BP, Randolph AG, Khemani RG: Corticosteroids for the prevention and treatment of post-extubation stridor in neonates, children and adults.

Using corticosteroids to prevent (or treat) stridor after extubation has not proven effective for neonates, children or adults. However, given the consistent trend toward benefit, this intervention does merit further study Markovitz BP, Randolph AG, Khemani RG: Corticosteroids for the prevention and treatment of post-extubation stridor in neonates, children and adults.

Extubation Criteria 1. Neurologic 2. Cardiovascular 3. Pulmonary
Neurologic • Patient must be able to protect his airway, e. g, have cough, gag, and swallow reflexes. • Level of sedation should be low enough that the patient doesn’t become apneic once the ETT is removed. • No apnea on the ventilator. • Must be strong enough to generate a spontaneous TV of 5 -7 ml/kg on 5 -10 cm H 2 O PS or have a negative inspiratory force (NIF) of 25 cm H 2 O or higher. • Being able to follow commands is preferred.
Cardiovascular • Patient must be able to increase cardiac output to meet demands of work of breathing. • Patient should have evidence of adequate cardiac output without being on significant inotropic support. • Patient must be hemodynamically stable.
Pulmonary • Patient should have a patent airway. • Pulmonary compliance and resistance should be near normal. • Patient should have “normal” blood gas and work-ofbreathing on the following settings: – Fi. O 2 <40% – PEEP ± 5 cm H 2 O – PS 5 -8 cm H 2 O – Spontaneous TV of 5 -7 ml/kg – Close to normal breath rate according to age
Conclusions: Weaning Readiness and Extubation Criteria 1. Ability to protect upper airway Effective cough Alertness 2. Improving clinical condition 3. Adequate lumen of trachea and larynx “Leak test” during airway pressurization
Conclusions: Weaning Readiness and Extubation Criteria Upper airway obstruction is the single most common cause of extubation failure. A reliable method of assessing readiness for weaning and predicting extubation success is not evident from the pediatric literature. Weaning is often not considered early enough in the course of ventilation.
Extubation – Control of airway reflexes – Patent upper airway (air leak around tube? ) – Minimal oxygen requirement – Minimize pressure support (0 - max 10) (Normal compliance = Vt 8 ml/kg with PS of 8) – Comfortable spontaneous breathing – “Awake ” patient
