Respiratory Failure in Children
Respiratory failure: where is the defect? Ventilation Diffusion Abnormal oxygen carrying capacity Perfusion failure of cellular oxygen uptake
Types of Respiratory Failure Type I failure, also known as normocapnic or non -ventilatory failure, is indicated by hypoxemia (low p. O 2 ) with a normal or low p. CO 2. It is commonly due to ventilation/perfusion (V/Q) abnormalities. Other causes include: impaired diffusion across the alveolarcapillary membrane (as occurs with pulmonary fibrosis and shunting)
Type II failure: An elevated p. CO 2 is the hallmark , also known as ventilatory or hypercapnic failure. It is generally the result of alveolar hypoventilation, increased dead space ventilation, or increased CO 2 production. Other causes are factors that impair the central ventilatory drive in the brainstem, restrict ventilation, or increase CO 2 production.
Causes of Type I Failure V/Q abnormaltities – Pneumonia, meconium aspiraton, Pulmonary oedema. Cyanotic heart disease Diffusion abnormalities – Interstitial fibrosis Inadequate systemic blood flow – Shock Inadequate oxygen carrying capacity – Severe anemia, methhemoglobinemia Inadequate cellular uptake: – Cyanide poisioning
Type II Failure: alveolar hypoventialtion Neuromuscular: – CNS disease, GB Syndrome. Respiratory muscle disorders – Muscular dystrophy Chest wall / pleura: – Pliable chest, pneumothorax, pleural effusion Airway disorders: – Croup. Pulmonary disease – Bronchiolitis, pneumonia, asthma Increased CO 2 production: – Sepsis, fever, burn
In children, respiratory failure most often is due to diseases of the lungs. CNS disorders that lead to respiratory failure are: Control abnormalities that cause Type II (hypercapnic) respiratory failure and usually present without signs and symptoms of respiratory distress (such as dyspnea, retractions, or tachypnea
A 16 -year-old female arrives in the ED after the SLC result. No other history is available because the friends who brought him to the ED left. The vital signs are: Temperature (T) = 96°F; Pulse (P) = 90 beats/min; Respiratory rate (R) = 6 breaths/min; Blood pressure (BP) =120/80 mm. Hg; and Pulse oxygen saturation is 76% on room air.
Glasgow coma scale: 4. Shallow respiration. Pinpoint pupil. Lungs and heart are normal Arterial blood gas (ABG) is: p. H = 7. 13; p. O 2 = 52; p. CO 2 = 81; HCO 3 = 26; and oxygen saturation = 75% on room air. Normal ABG values are: p. O 2 of 80 -100 mm. Hg; p. CO 2 of 35 -45 mm. Hg; p. H of 7. 35 -7. 45; and Sa. O 2 of 95 -100%
Problem This patient has hypercapnia and hypoxia. Of the physiologic events in respiration, diffusion, transport, and the tissue/cellular uptake of oxygen are normal, but ventilation is impaired. Pin point pupil points to the poisoning probably narcotic drug.
An 8 -year-old male muscular dystrophy His vital signs are: T = 100. 2°F; P = 120 beats/min; R = 12 breaths/min; and BP = 100/70 mm. Hg; and Weight = 20 kg. Eamination reveals rhinorrhea and excessive secretions in the oropharynx. There are scattered rhonchi in the lungs bilaterally. There is no cyanosis. The neurologic exam is consistent with his diagnosis of muscular dystrophy with muscle weakness
The ABG is: p. H = 7. 17; p. O 2 = 46; p. CO 2 = 78; HCO 3 = 32; and O 2 saturation = 71% on room air. This patient has Type II hypercapnic respiratory failure secondary to failure of the respiratory muscles from a primary muscle disorder. Normal ABG values are: p. O 2 of 80 -100 mm. Hg; p. CO 2 of 35 -45 mm. Hg; p. H of 7. 35 -7. 45; and Sa. O 2 of 95 -100%
A 4 -month-old female with breathing difficulties. Prematurity (30 weeks), respiratory distress syndrome requiring a ventilator. She also had a congenital gastrointestinal problem requiring surgery at 6 weeks of age and has continued to have gastrointestinal problems. She has bronchopulmonary dysplasia Her vital signs are: T = 103. 5° F; P = 190 beats/min; R = 64 breaths/min; BP = 80/50 mm. Hg; and Pulse oxygen saturation = 82% in room air
Small for her age. Respiratory distress with retractions, grunting, flaring, head nodding. Skin is pale, sweaty, and cyanotic with delayed capillary fill. There are rales in both lung fields. The chest roentgenogram shows diffuse bilateral infiltrates. The ABG on room air is: p. H = 7. 61; p. O 2 = 56; p. CO 2 = 24; HCO 3 = 27; and oxygen saturation is 78%. Normal ABG values are: p. O 2 of 80 -100 mm. Hg; p. CO 2 of 35 -45 mm. Hg; p. H of 7. 35 -7. 45; and Sa. O 2 of 95 -100%
A 2 -month-old is brought to the ED with a chief complaint of not eating for several days. Vital signs are: T = 36. 8°C (R); P = 180 beats/min; R = 58 breaths/min BP = 55/30 mm. Hg; and Pulse oxygen saturation is 78% on room air. O/E tachypnea, retractions, and cyanosis. The lungs are clear. The heart is tachycardic with no murmurs. The liver edge is down 2 cm. The abdomen is nontender. There is no edema and no rash.
An initial ABG reveals: p. H = 7. 48; p. O 2 = 62; p. CO 2 = 34; and HCO 3 = 23. ABG drawn on 100% Fi. O 2 shows essentially no change from the room air blood gas: p. H = 7. 48; p. O 2 = 64; p. CO 2 = 35; HCO 3 = 23; and O 2 saturation is 79%. Normal ABG values are: p. O 2 of 80 -100 mm. Hg; p. CO 2 of 35 -45 mm. Hg; p. H of 7. 35 -7. 45; and Sa. O 2 of 95 -100%
A 5 -year-old male is seen for a cough of several days duration that is not improving Vital signs are: T = 96. 8°F (O); P = 170 beats/min; R = 44 breaths/min; and Pulse oximetry is 94% on room air. O/E: sitting up and leaning forward. wheezing bilaterally. Tachypnic with intercostal retractions. Three continuous salbutamol aerosols were given by nebuliser.
His lungs are clear, no Vital signs are now: wheeze or rales, and T = 96. 8°F (O); no retractions. He has P = 102 beats/min; dry mucous R = 16 breaths/min; membranes and pale BP = 65/40 mm. Hg; skin with tenting. and Pulse oxygen saturation = 86% on room air.
First ABG ; p. H = 7. 52; p. O 2 = 58; p. CO 2 = 24; HCO 3 = 14; and oxygen saturation = 88% on room air. The second ABG shows: p. H = 7. 12; p. O 2 = 68; p. CO 2 = 70; HCO 3 = 14; and oxygen saturation is 90% on 100% Fi. O 2. Normal ABG values are: p. O 2 of 80 -100 mm. Hg; p. CO 2 of 35 -45 mm. Hg; p. H of 7. 35 -7. 45; and Sa. O 2 of 95 -100%
Treatment: Acute Respiratory Failure Hypoxemia is more dangerous than hypercarbia. Administration of supplemental oxygen Ventilatory support Extracorporial Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) Never use bicarbonates unless lung can exhale
