Manobra de Bag squeezing em modelo experimental de síndrome de aspiração mecônio

Abstract

Introduction: Meconium Aspiration Syndrome (MAS) is a complex disease that can cause varying degrees of respiratory failure in newborns. The use of broncho alveolar lavage (BAL) and surfactant therapy has been tested in humans and in animal models getting promising results as well as Bag-squezing maneuver has shown good results in adults Aims: To evaluate the effects of the combination of Bag Squeezing maneuver with broncho-alveolar surfactant in an experimental model of Meconium Aspiration Syndrome in newborn pigs. Methodology: were used in the study newborn pigs (n = 15), ventilated with fixed parameters. After instillation of human meconium 4ml/Kg diluted to 20%, the pigs were randomized into three groups: CONTROL-SAM model subjected only aspiration (n = 5), Grupo BAL-SAM model treated only with surfactant BAL (n = 5), and Grupo BAL + BAG-SAM model treated with BAL with surfactant associated with Bag Squeezing maneuver (n = 5). For the LBA was used 15ml/kg of Curosurf diluted in NaCl (5mg/ml). Blood gases, vital signs and behavior of mechanical ventilation were analyzed throughout the study. Results: The that group received a BAL + BAG improved blood gas, reducted of airway resistance (p = 0, 004) and compliance lung (p = 0.003) better than the other groups with a significant increase in the amount of meconium removed (p = 0.046) with the bag-squeezing maneuver. Conclusion: The association of Bag-squeezing maneuver can bring benefits to gasometric parameters mechanical ventilation and increase the removal of meconium.
