Background: Nasal non-invasive-ventilation (Nasal NIV) is a mode of ventilatory support providing positive pressure to patients via a nasal interface. The RAM Cannula is an oxygen delivery device that can be used as an alternative approach to deliver positive pressure. Together they have been successfully used to provide respiratory support in neonatal in-patient settings. Objective: To describe the outpatient use of Nasal NIV/RAM Cannula as a feasible alternative for home respiratory support in children with chronic respiratory failure. Methods: We performed a retrospective case series of 18 children (4 months to 19 years old) using the Nasal NIV/RAM Cannula in the Pediatric Pulmonary Clinic at the McGovern Medical School, UTHealth (2014-16). Consideration for Nasal NIV/RAM Cannula utilization included: inability to wean-off in-patient respiratory support, comfort for dyspnea, intolerability of conventional mask interfaces and tracheostomy avoidance. Results: Average age was 7 years. 50% were Caucasian, 38% African-American and 11% Hispanics. Pulmonary disorders included: chest wall weakness (38%), central control abnormalities (33%), obstructive lung disease (16%) and restrictive lung disease (11%). Indications for Nasal NIV/RAM Cannula initiation included: CPAP/BPAP masks intolerability (11%), dyspnea secondary to chest wall weakness (38%) and tracheostomy avoidance (50%). Average length of use of Nasal NIV/RAM Cannula was 8.4 months. Successful implementation of Nasal NIV/Ram Cannula was 94%. One patient required a tracheostomy following the use of Nasal NIV/RAM Cannula. Significant decrease in arterial PaCO2 pre and post Nasal NIV/RAM cannula initiation was notable (p=0.001). Conclusion: Outpatient use of Nasal NIV/RAM Cannula may prove to be a feasible and save treatment alternative for children with chronic respiratory failure, chest wall weakness, dyspnea and traditional nasal/face mask intolerance to avoid tracheostomy.

Non Invasive Ventilation

Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is a non-pharmacological intervention addressed to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and non-COPD chronic respiratory patients, a key management strategy scientifically demonstrated to improve exercise capacity, dyspnoea, health status and psychological wellbeing. The main body of literature comes from COPD patients, as they provide the core evidence for PR programmes. PR is recommended even to severe patients having chronic respiratory failure; their significant psychological impairment and potential for greater instability during the PR programme will be carefully considered by the multidisciplinary team. Optimizing medical management (e g, inhaled bronchodilators, oxygen therapy, non- invasive ventilation) may enhance the results of exercise training. Patients who already receive long-term domiciliary non- invasive ventilation (NIV) for chronic respiratory failure might exercise with NIV during exercise training if acceptable and tolerable to the patient. It is not advisable to offer long-term domiciliary NIV with the only aim to improve outcomes during PR course. There are different attempts to use both negative and positive NIV in limited clinical studies. Long-term adherence to exercise is an important goal of PR programmes and teams, targeting to translate all-domain gains of PR into increased physical activity and participation to real life. Being a reliable alternative for the future, studies should focus on pressure regimens, type of devices, acceptability and portability for everyday activities.
