Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of the Newborn By Jennifer Stevenson

PPHN Also known as Persistent fetal circulation. PPHN is the failure of PVR to fall at birth. The transition from fetal circulation to extra uterine circulation is not complete. R-L shunting occurs through a patent ductus arteriosus and foramen ovale.

Typically seen in: Full term or post term infants 37-41 weeks gestational age within the first 12-24 hours after birth.

Primary PPHN Classical PPHN idiopathic Hypoxemia develops in a baby with normal lungs. Breath sounds and CXR are usually normal.

Possible causes chronic intrauterine hypoxia asphyxia maternal ingestion of prostaglandin premature ductal closure hypoglycemia hypothermia maternal hypertension

Prostaglandin ingestion Mothers who took aspirin near term caused repeated intrauterine closure of the ductus with redirection of blood into the pulmonary vasculature.

Secondary PPHN PPHN secondary to lung disease. meconium aspiration syndrome congenital diaphragmatic hernia group B streptococcal pneumonia respiratory distress syndrome sepsis hypoplasia

In Utero Fetal gas exchange occurs through the placenta instead of the lungs. PVR > SVR causes blood from the right side of the heart to bypass the lungs through the ductus arteriosus and foramen ovale.

Fetal Shunts Ductus arteriosus Foramen ovale R-L shunting of blood from pulmonary artery to the aorta bypasses the lungs. Usually begins to close 24-36 hours after birth. Foramen ovale Opening between left and right atria. Closes when there is an increased volume of blood in the left atrium.

At Birth First breath Decrease in PVR Increase in pulmonary blood flow and PaO2 Circulatory pressures change with the clamping of the cord. SVR >PVR allowing lungs to take over gas exchange. If PVR remains higher blood continues to be shunted and PPHN develops.

Signs of PPHN Infants with PPHN are born with Apgar scores of 5 or less at 1 and 5 minutes. Cyanosis may be present at birth or progressively worsen within the first 12-24 hours.

Later developments Within a few hours after birth CXR tachypnea retractions systolic murmur mixed acidosis, hypoxemia, hypercapnia CXR mild to moderate cardiomegaly decreased pulmonary vasculature

Pulmonary Vasculature Pulmonary vascular bed of newborn is extremely sensitive to changes in O2 and CO2. Pulmonary arteries appear thick walled and fail to relax normally when exposed to vasodilators. Capillaries begin to build protective muscle. (remodeling)

Diagnosis Hyperoxia Test Place infant on 100% oxyhood for 10 minutes. PaO2 > 100 mmHg parenchymal lung disease PaO2= 50-100 mmHg parenchymal lung disease or cardiovascular disease PaO2 < 50 mmHg fixed R-L shunt cyanotic congenital heart disease or PPHN

Hyperoxia Test (cont.) If fixed R-L shunt need to get a preductal and postductal arterial blood gases with infant on 100% O2. Preductal- R radial or temporal artery Postductal- umbilical artery If > 15 mmHg difference in PaO2 then ductal shunting If < 15 mmHg difference in PaO2 then no ductal shunting

Hyperoxia-Hyperventilation Test Hyperinflate baby with manual resuscitator and 100% O2 until PaCO2 reaches 20-25 mmHg. PaO2 = 100 mmHg with hyperinflation PPHN PaO2 < 100 mmHg with hyperinflation R/O congenital heart disease with echocardiogram. abnormal Echo = congenital heart disease normal Echo = PPHN

Echocardiography R ventricle may be larger than normal. Ratio of pre-ejection period (PEP) to ejection time (ET) is used to evaluate left and right ventricle performance. PPHN causes a prolonged R ventricle PEP/ET ratio increased pulmonary artery pressure increased pulmonary vascular resistance

Echo (cont.) PPHN can be identified early if R and L ventricular PEP/ET ratios are measured soon after birth. Babies with R ventricular ratio > .50 and L ventricular ratio > .38 developed PPHN within 10-30 hours after birth.

Cardiac Catheterization In past, cardiac catheterization was used to diagnose infants with PPHN by monitoring pulmonary artery pressures. Today this is not recommended because it is traumatic to the baby and it is no longer needed to make a diagnosis.

Treatment Goals: To maintain adequate oxygenation. These babies are extremely sensitive Handling them can cause a decrease in PaO2 and hypoxia Crying also causes a decrease in PaO2 Try to coordinate care as much as possible To maintain neutral thermal environment to minimize oxygen consumption.

Medication Tolazine (Priscoline)- pulmonary and systemic vasodilator pulmonary response needs to assessed by giving 1-2 mg/kg through peripheral scalp vein if positive response- start continuous infusion of 0.5-1.0 mg/kg/hr

Tolazine (cont.) Monitor closely for GI bleeding, pulmonary hemorrhage and systemic hypotension. May need to also give Dopamine or Dobutamine to maintain systemic blood pressure and to increase CO.

Mechanical Ventilation TCPLV (Time cycled pressure limited ventilation) may be used with PPHN. Want to use low peak inspiratory pressures Monitor PaO2 and PaCO2 with a transcutaneous monitor

Hyperventilation Hyperventilation helps promote pulmonary vasodilation Respiratory Alkalosis- decrease PAP to level below systemic pressures to improve oxygenation by helping to close the shunts Try to keep pH =7.5 and PaCO2 = 25-30 Alkalizing agents - sodium bicarbonate or THAM

Hyperventilation (cont.) Babies often become agitated when they are hyperventilated May need to administer muscle relaxants and sedation usually given pancuronium and morphine pancuronium- q 1-3 hours IV at 0.1-0.2 mg/kg morphine- continuous infusion 10 micrograms/kg/hr

HFOV High frequency oscillatory ventilation decrease risk of barotrauma effective alveolar ventilation alveolar recruitment Nitric Oxide more effective HFOV more effective in PPHN babies with lung disease

Nitric Oxide (NO) Potent pulmonary vasodilator decrease pulmonary artery pressure increase PaO2 Does not cause systemic hypotension NO more effective in PPHN babies without lung disease Baby must be weaned slowly off NO or may have rebound hypertension

Effects of NO NO is metabolized to nitrogen dioxide (NO2) which can cause acute lung injury. NO2 is potentially toxic. NO reacts with hemoglobin to form methemoglobin.

ECMO Extra corporeal membrane oxygenation Form of cardiorespiratory support that allows the lungs to rest so also called extracorporeal life support (ECLS). ECMO has increased survival rate significantly

ECMO (cont.) ECMO is given as a last resort when everything else has failed. Requirements > 33 weeks gestational age potentially reversible lung disease no bleeding disorders no intraventricular hemorrhages

Two Routes Venovenous route Venoarterial route blood taken from R jugular vein and returned to the venous system. Venoarterial route blood taken from R jugular vein and returned through R carotid artery Gas exchange takes place as the blood is pumped through a membrane oxygenator

Outcome PPHN may last anywhere from a few days to several weeks. Mortality rate is 20-50%. Decreased by HFOV and NO Decreased by ECMO Babies treated with hyperventilation may develop sensorineural hearing loss.
