Pulmonary circulation

Vasoconstricted during fetal life – high resistance & low blood flow – pulmonary pressure > systemic pressure – right-to-left shunt through the ductus

arteriosus.

Causes of vasoconstriction – not known – High degree of fetal lung expansion. – Low PO2

– Release of circulating vasoconstrictors.

Cardio-Pulmonary Transition at Birth

Newborn 100% of RVO enters the lung PBF is high, PVR is low Systemic arterial pressure > pulmonary arterial pressure DA flow is left to right

Need to 1) Decrease pulmonary vascular resistance 2) Reverse pulmonary-systemic pressure gradient

Page 11: Cardiovascular System – Cardiovascular changes at birth · Cardiovascular System – Cardiovascular changes at birth ... Adult vs. Fetal circulation ... before cord clamping

1) Decrease in pulmonary vascular resistance at birth

Overall mechanism unknown – ↑ blood PO2

– release of vasodilators (?) – An effect of ventilation (?) – Reduction in lung volume caused by lung

aeration

Aeration of the lung is the principal component!

2) Reverse pulmonary-systemic pressure gradient

Page 15: Cardiovascular System – Cardiovascular changes at birth · Cardiovascular System – Cardiovascular changes at birth ... Adult vs. Fetal circulation ... before cord clamping

Cardiovascular changes at birth

Reversing the pulmonary-systemic pressure gradient Clamp umbilical cord

– lose 1/3 of fetal blood volume • Umbilical cord “milking” (or leaving the cord open)

– lose 50% of venous return / right ventricular output. – ↑ Systemic blood pressure

Driven by removal of the placental circulation

Before Cord Occlusion

After Cord Occlusion

Start ventilation

Page 16: Cardiovascular System – Cardiovascular changes at birth · Cardiovascular System – Cardiovascular changes at birth ... Adult vs. Fetal circulation ... before cord clamping

Cardiovascular changes at birth

Venous return from umbilical circ ↓ → ↓ right atrial filling ↓ right atrial pressure (RAP)

+ aeration of the lung

Pulmonary vascular resistance ↓ → ↑pulmonary blood flow. ↓ pulmonary arterial pressure ↑ left atrial filling → ↑ left atrial pressure

Systemic arterial pressure > Pulmonary arterial pressure (left to right ductus arteriosus flow) LAP > RAP → reversal of flow through and closure of foramen ovale (FO)

All happens within the first minutes of life.

Benefits of delayed cord clamping until ventilation onset

• Decrease PVR and hence increase PBF before the cord is clamped

• PBF can immediately replace umbilical venous return as the primary source of preload for the LV – Stabilises LV output after birth – Potentially reduces risk of IVH

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation

What do the guidelines say?

HR <60bpm (apneic, non-responsive infants) Start chest compressions IV epinephrine

Respiratory support ILCOR - No consensus

“initiation of intermittent positive-pressure ventilation at birth can be accomplished with either shorter or longer inspiratory times”

European - 5x 3 sec inflations

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation

“Establishing pulmonary ventilation is the key”

How???

Why is a SI so effective?

Better at aerating the lung To increase O2 uptake

To increase PBF and increase preload

But is this a good thing?? Could the higher BP cause brain

haemorrhage

Summary

Sustained inflation is fantastic at increasing HR in severely asphyxic newborns

But!! the return in circulation may be too quick and should be tempered to prevent brain haemorrhage

Evaluate respirations, heart rate and colour

ILCOR 2005

Page 71: Cardiovascular System – Cardiovascular changes at birth · Cardiovascular System – Cardiovascular changes at birth ... Adult vs. Fetal circulation ... before cord clamping

Assessment in the DR

• Colour • Heart rate • Chest rise • (tone and reflex irritability)

Page 72: Cardiovascular System – Cardiovascular changes at birth · Cardiovascular System – Cardiovascular changes at birth ... Adult vs. Fetal circulation ... before cord clamping

Can we use clinical assessment of colour?

• 3-5 minute clips from 20 videos of varying gestation requiring varying degrees of resuscitation (including none)

• 27 medical and nursing observers noted the time at which the infant turned pink

• Corresponding oxygen saturation from a masked oximeter noted

Page 73: Cardiovascular System – Cardiovascular changes at birth · Cardiovascular System – Cardiovascular changes at birth ... Adult vs. Fetal circulation ... before cord clamping

How well do 27 observers agree about colour?

Page 74: Cardiovascular System – Cardiovascular changes at birth · Cardiovascular System – Cardiovascular changes at birth ... Adult vs. Fetal circulation ... before cord clamping

How well do 27 observers agree about colour?

• Median saturation at which babies thought to become pink was 69

• Range extended from 10 to 100!

Page 75: Cardiovascular System – Cardiovascular changes at birth · Cardiovascular System – Cardiovascular changes at birth ... Adult vs. Fetal circulation ... before cord clamping

Colour and oxygen • Improvement in colour may take several minutes

to achieve, even in uncompromised babies. Exposure of the newly born to hyperoxia is detrimental to many organs at cellular and functional level.

• Therefore, colour has been removed as an indicator of oxygenation or resuscitation efficacy

Measurement of Heart Rate (HR) in the delivery room

• Guidelines recommend auscultation or umbilical cord palpation (count for 6 seconds and multiply by 10)

• HR is an (the most?) important sign in determining need for and response to resuscitation

• How precise and accurate are clinical measurements?

Assessment of heart rate: Auscultation & palpation v ECG

-----------------------------------------------

Kamlin CO, O'Donnell CP, Everest NJ, Davis PG, Morley CJ. Resuscitation. 2006

Page 82: Cardiovascular System – Cardiovascular changes at birth · Cardiovascular System – Cardiovascular changes at birth ... Adult vs. Fetal circulation ... before cord clamping

Assessment of heart rate • Auscultation of the heart rate is more accurate than palpation

of the cord. However, both are relatively insensitive.

• Auscultation of the heart rate should remain the primary means of assessing heart rate. There is a high likelihood of underestimating the heart rate with palpation of the umbilical pulse, but this is preferable to other palpation locations.

ILCOR guidelines

Pediatrics, 2010, 126 (5), p. e 1321.

Page 83: Cardiovascular System – Cardiovascular changes at birth · Cardiovascular System – Cardiovascular changes at birth ... Adult vs. Fetal circulation ... before cord clamping

How should we judge ventilation?

• Chest movement? • Manometer?

Page 84: Cardiovascular System – Cardiovascular changes at birth · Cardiovascular System – Cardiovascular changes at birth ... Adult vs. Fetal circulation ... before cord clamping

ILCOR guidelines: Initial breaths

• Avoid excessive chest wall movement during ventilation of preterm infants

• Monitoring of inflation pressures may help provide consistent inflations and avoid unnecessarily high pressures

• Estimate tidal volume (quantitative and qualitative) – head view – side view – experienced and inexperienced operators

• Hot-wire anemometer flow sensor to measure gas flow and tidal volume

Clinical signs of effective ventilation are imperfect

• Displayed PIP is a poor surrogate for tidal volume delivered

• Chest rise is an inaccurate, unreliable measure of adequacy of ventilation

Page 92: Cardiovascular System – Cardiovascular changes at birth · Cardiovascular System – Cardiovascular changes at birth ... Adult vs. Fetal circulation ... before cord clamping

Why might this be important?

Page 93: Cardiovascular System – Cardiovascular changes at birth · Cardiovascular System – Cardiovascular changes at birth ... Adult vs. Fetal circulation ... before cord clamping

Too much ventilation

• Björklund (Pediatric Research 1997) – 5 pairs of 127-128 day lambs (~28 weeks’)

• Six large manual inflations – reduced compliance – worse gas exchange – widespread lung injury

Page 94: Cardiovascular System – Cardiovascular changes at birth · Cardiovascular System – Cardiovascular changes at birth ... Adult vs. Fetal circulation ... before cord clamping

Excessive bagging

Standard resuscitation

Page 95: Cardiovascular System – Cardiovascular changes at birth · Cardiovascular System – Cardiovascular changes at birth ... Adult vs. Fetal circulation ... before cord clamping

What can help us?

• Pulse oximetry – How to apply – How accurate? – Limitations

• Respiratory function monitoring – An introduction

Page 96: Cardiovascular System – Cardiovascular changes at birth · Cardiovascular System – Cardiovascular changes at birth ... Adult vs. Fetal circulation ... before cord clamping

PO Sensor

Pulse Oximeter

Patient Cable

Conclusion: Apply the sensor to the right hand and then to the patient cable

Page 97: Cardiovascular System – Cardiovascular changes at birth · Cardiovascular System – Cardiovascular changes at birth ... Adult vs. Fetal circulation ... before cord clamping

Feasibility of oximetry in the DR

Using optimal technique: • 90% of infants have oximetry data in < 92 sec • preterm infants are easier to monitor than term

Summary (1)

• “Colour” is no longer recommended as a useful sign in the DR

• Clinical assessment systematically underestimates true heart rate

Page 112: Cardiovascular System – Cardiovascular changes at birth · Cardiovascular System – Cardiovascular changes at birth ... Adult vs. Fetal circulation ... before cord clamping

Summary (2)

• Pulse oximetry is a useful guide to assessment of oxygenation and heart rate in the DR but: – Know what is normal – Look at the baby

• Signs of effective ventilation are imperfect – Respiratory function monitoring helps us

understand the problems
