PDA Pneumonia Sepsis,unspecified, resolved Hyperbilirubinemia, resolved -Continue feedings PERSISTENT PULMONARY HYPERTENSION Definition Persistent Fetal Circulation (PFC) Pulmonary hypertension resulting in severe hypoxemia secondary to right-to-left shunting through the foramen ovale and ductus arteriosus in the absence of structural heart disease Typically seen in: Full term or post term infants weeks gestational age within the first hours after birth. In Utero Fetal gas exchange occurs through the placenta instead of the lungs. PVR > SVR causes blood from the right side of the heart to bypass the lungs through the ductus arteriosus and foramen ovale. Fetal Shunts Ductus arteriosus R-L shunting of blood from pulmonary artery to the aorta bypasses the lungs. Usually begins to close hours after birth. Foramen ovale Opening between left and right atria. Closes when there is an increased volume of blood in the left atrium. At Birth First breath Decrease in PVR Increase in pulmonary blood flow and PaO 2 Circulatory pressures change with the clamping of the cord. SVR >PVR allowing lungs to take over gas exchange. If PVR remains higher blood continues to be shunted and PPHN develops. Signs of PPHN Infants with PPHN are born with Apgar scores of 5 or less at 1 and 5 minutes. Cyanosis may be present at birth or progressively worsen within the first hours. Later developments Within a few hours after birth tachypnea retractions systolic murmur mixed acidosis, hypoxemia, hypercapnia CXR mild to moderate cardiomegaly decreased pulmonary vasculature Pulmonary Vasculature Pulmonary vascular bed of newborn is extremely sensitive to changes in O 2 and CO 2. Pulmonary arteries appear thick walled and fail to relax normally when exposed to vasodilators. Capillaries begin to build protective muscle. (remodeling) Diagnosis Hyperoxia Test Place infant on 100% oxyhood for 10 minutes. PaO 2 > 100 mmHg parenchymal lung disease PaO 2 = mmHg parenchymal lung disease or cardiovascular disease PaO 2 < 50 mmHg fixed R-L shunt cyanotic congenital heart disease or PPHN Hyperoxia Test (cont.) If fixed R-L shunt need to get a preductal and postductal arterial blood gases with infant on 100% O 2. Preductal- R radial or temporal artery Postductal- umbilical artery If > 15 mmHg difference in PaO 2 then ductal shunting If < 15 mmHg difference in PaO 2 then no ductal shunting Treatment Goals: To maintain adequate oxygenation. These babies are extremely sensitive Handling them can cause a decrease in PaO 2 and hypoxia Crying also causes a decrease in PaO 2 Try to coordinate care as much as possible To maintain neutral thermal environment to minimize oxygen consumption. Mechanical Ventilation TCPLV (Time cycled pressure limited ventilation) may be used with PPHN. Want to use low peak inspiratory pressures Monitor PaO 2 and PaCO 2 with a transcutaneous monitor Hyperventilation Hyperventilation helps promote pulmonary vasodilation Respiratory Alkalosis- decrease PAP to level below systemic pressures to improve oxygenation by helping to close the shunts Try to keep pH =7.5 and PaCO 2 = Alkalizing agents - sodium bicarbonate or THAM Hyperventilation (cont.) Babies often become agitated when they are hyperventilated May need to administer muscle relaxants and sedation usually given pancuronium and morphine pancuronium- q 1-3 hours IV at mg/kg morphine- continuous infusion 10 micrograms/kg/hr Nitric Oxide (NO) Potent pulmonary vasodilator decrease pulmonary artery pressure increase PaO 2 Does not cause systemic hypotension NO more effective in PPHN babies without lung disease Baby must be weaned slowly off NO or may have rebound hypertension Effects of NO NO is metabolized to nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ) which can cause acute lung injury. NO 2 is potentially toxic. NO reacts with hemoglobin to form methemoglobin. Outcome PPHN may last anywhere from a few days to several weeks. Mortality rate is 20-50%. Decreased by HFOV and NO Decreased by ECMO Babies treated with hyperventilation may develop sensorineural hearing loss. THANK YOU!
