Abstract:Objective To explore the clinical effects of different ventilation methods combined with citrate caffeine in the treatment of mechanically ventilated and withdrawed children in ultra-immature children. Methods From January 2017 to June 2019, 66 cases of super immature children in the Pediatric Department of the Second People's Hospital of Guangdong Province were selected as the target. The random number method was divided into heated humidified high flow nasal catheter assisted ventilation group (HHFNC group) (n?=?20 cases), nasal continuous positive airway pressure group (NCPAP group) (n?=?22 cases), simultaneous internasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (SNIPPV group) (n?=?24 cases). 3 groups were given caffeine citrate treatment. Comparisons of the blood gas analysis, inhaled oxygen concentration, oxygen therapy time, noninvasive ventilation time, starting enteral feeding time, hospitalization time and complications of abdominal distension, intracranial hemorrhage, hypotension and arrhythmia in 3 groups were performed. Results The difference among the three groups before and after treatment of a certain index was statistically significant (P?0.05); the difference in PH, PO2 (mmHg), PaCO2 (mmHg) and FiO2 (%) between NCPAP group and SNIPPV group was not statistically significant (P?>?0.05); the difference in pH, PO2 (mmHg), PaCO2 (mmHg), and FiO2 (%) in the HHFNC group were higher than those in the NCPAP group and the SNIPPV group (P?0.05). There was a statistically significant difference in treatment time, opening milk and hospitalization time within 3 groups (P?0.05). The NCPAP group and the SNIPPV group had no statistically significant difference in oxygen therapy time, noninvasive ventilation time, starting enteral feeding time and hospitalization time after treatment (P?>?0.05). The oxygen therapy time, noninvasive ventilation time, starting enteral feeding time and hospitalization time after treatment in the HHFNC group were shorter than those in the NCPAP group and SNIPPV group (P?0.05). None of 3 groups of patients were excluded or withdrawn. There was no statistically significant difference in abdominal distension, intracranial hemorrhage, pneumothorax, BPD and total complications among 3 groups (P?>?0.05). There was a statistically significant difference in the successful withdrawal of 3 groups (P?0.05). There was no statistically significant success rate in HHFNC group and SNIPPV group (P?>?0.05), and the success rate in HHFNC group was higher than that in NCPAP group (P?0.05). Conclusion The use of HHFNC combined with citrate caffeine in the mechanical ventilation of ultra-immature children can improve the blood gas level of patients, shorten the time of ventilation, oxygen therapy, starting enteral feeding, and hospitalization, and does not increase the incidence of adverse reactions.
