Abstract:Objective To explore the effect of noninvasive high frequency oscillatory ventilation on Clara cell protein 16 and KL-6 expression in neonatal respiratory failure. Methods A total of 208 cases of neonates from January 2015 to December 2017 in our hospital with respiratory failure were randomly divided into observation group and control group. The observation group was treated with noninvasive high frequency oscillatory ventilation, while the control group was treated with synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation. The blood gas indexes at 0h, 24h and 72h of two groups were detected, and the changes of serum CC16 and KL-6 before and after treatment and the occurrence of adverse reactions were observed. Results After treatment, the total effective rate in the observation group was higher than the control group (P < 0.05). The effect of the observation group was better than that of the control group (P < 0.05). The oxygenation index, respiratory index, inhaled oxygen concentration (FiO2) and arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05), while arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) and PaO2/FiO2 were higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The levels of serum CC16 and KL-6 in the observation group and the control group were lower 72 hours after treatment (P < 0.05). The CC16 and KL-6 in the observation group were lower than those in the control group 72 hours after treatment (P < 0.05). The time of mechanical ventilation and hospitalization in the observation group was lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05). The total incidence rate of ventilator-associated pneumonia and complications in the observation group was lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Noninvasive high frequency oscillatory ventilation in the treatment of neonatal with respiratory failure can significantly improve the blood gas index, reduce inflammation, reduce the level of KL-6 and CC16, with less adverse reaction.
