Résumé

Les lunettes nasales à haut débit (LNHD) sont un nouveau mode de support respiratoire. En pédiatrie, l’administration d’un gaz humidifié, réchauffé, à un débit supérieur à 2 L/min et ajusté au poids du patient par des lunettes nasales adaptées à la taille des narines permet d’améliorer la délivrance en oxygène, le lavage de l’espace mort et la clairance mucociliaire par rapport aux autres modes d’oxygénation classique. Le dispositif peut potentiellement générer une pression positive pharyngée et modifier sensiblement le travail des muscles respiratoire, le positionnant entre le masque à haute concentration et la pression positive continue. Sa tolérance est généralement excellente et sa mise en oeuvre simple. La littérature pédiatrique suggère un intérêt pour les LNHD dans la prise en charge des bronchiolites de gravité modérée. L’expérience acquise en néonatologie et chez les adultes devrait conduire à évaluer de nouvelles indications, telles que le support respiratoire après extubation et la prise en charge des crises d’asthme modérées. Comme pour tout support ventilatoire, l’initiation des LNHD nécessite une surveillance rigoureuse dans un service de surveillance continue ou de réanimation pédiatrique.

Abstract

High flow nasal cannula (HFNC) is a new mode of respiratory support. In pediatrics, administration through nasal cannula of heated and humidified gas at rates >2 L/min improves oxygen delivery, dead space washing, and mucociliary clearance, compared with conventional oxygenation devices. HNFC generates positive pharyngeal pressure and may improve breathing work. HNFC could thus be considered as a device between high concentration mask and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). Tolerance is excellent and implementation simple. HFNC has been suggested as an interesting tool for the management of moderate to severe bronchiolitis. Experience in neonates and adults may encourage considering other indications, like respiratory support following extubation and management of mild asthma.

Like any respiratory support, initiating HFNC requires close monitoring in a pediatrician intensive care unit.
