AIM: Studies in animals have shown that vocal cords (VCs) close during apnoea before and after birth, thereby impairing the effect of non-invasive ventilation. We tested the feasibility of visualising VCs using ultrasonography (US) and investigated the position and movement of the VCs during non-invasive respiratory support of preterm infants at birth.
METHODS: In an observational study, VCs were visualised using US in infants <30 weeks gestation during both stabilisation after birth and at one hour after birth. Respiratory efforts were simultaneously recorded. The percentage of time the VCs were closed in the first ten minutes was determined from videoframes acquired at 15 Hz and compared with respiratory flow patterns measured using a respiratory function monitor.
RESULTS: US of the VCs could be performed in 20/20 infants included (median (IQR) gestational age 27+6 (27+1-28+6) weeks) without interfering with stabilisation, of whom 60% (12/20) were initially breathing and 40% (8/20) were apnoeic at birth. In breathing infants, the VCs closed between breaths and during breath holds, which accounted for 57% (49-66) of the time. In apnoeic infants receiving positive pressure ventilation, the VCs were closed for 93% (81-99) of the time. US at one hour after birth could be performed in 14/20 infants, VCs were closed between breaths and during breath holds, accounting for 46% (27-52) of the time.
CONCLUSION: Visualising VCs in preterm infants at birth using US is feasible. The VCs were closed during apnoea, in between breaths and during breath holds, impairing the effect of ventilation given.
