BACKGROUND: Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is a key mechanical ventilator setting in infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Excessive PEEP can result in insufficient carbon dioxide elimination and lung damage, while insufficient PEEP can result in impaired gas exchange secondary to airway and alveolar collapse. Determining PEEP settings based on clinical parameters alone is challenging and variable.
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to describe our experience using dynamic airway CT to determine the lowest PEEP setting sufficient to maintain expiratory central airway patency of at least 50% of the inspiratory cross-sectional area in children with BPD requiring long-term ventilator support.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively identified all infants with BPD who underwent volumetric CT with a dynamic airway protocol for PEEP optimization from December 2014 through April 2019. Sixteen infants with BPD underwent 17 CT exams. Each CT exam consisted of acquisitions spanning the trachea and mainstem bronchi. We measured cross-sectional area of the trachea and mainstem bronchi and qualitatively assessed the amount of atelectasis. We documented changes in management as a result of the CT exam.
RESULTS: The average effective dose was 0.1-0.8 mSv/scan. Of 17 CT exams, PEEP was increased in 9, decreased in 3 and unchanged after 5 exams.
CONCLUSION: Dynamic airway CT shows promise to assist the clinician in determining PEEP settings to maintain airway patency in infants with BPD requiring long-term ventilator support. Further evaluation of the impact of this maneuver on gas exchange, cardiac output and other physiological measures is needed.
