Endotracheal administration in intubated children on artificial ventilation (IVL) with constant monitoring of the heart rate (HR), oxygen concentration in the arterial bed or saturation with oxygen. Treatment begins as early as possible, after diagnosis of RDS.
Preparation of the reconstituted suspension
Method 1 - using a bottle adapter
Warning: the syringe and adapter remain in the vial throughout the entire procedure for preparing the reconstituted suspension.
1. Open the vial adapter package and attach the syringe to the adapter.
2. Insert the tip of the adapter into the vial cap.
3. Enter the solvent into the vial.
4. Stir immediately for 5 seconds.
5. Insert the suspension into the syringe, and then enter the contents of the syringe back into the vial. Repeat the procedure 5 times!
6. Soak the bottle for about 1 minute with the holder until the foam separates.
7. Slowly draw the suspension into the syringe, while leaving the foam in the vial.
Method 2 - using a needle for the preparation of a suspension
A warning: the syringe and the needle should remain in the vial throughout the entire procedure for preparing the reconstituted suspension. After completion of the suspension preparation process, the needle should not be used any more.
1. Open the bag with the needle to prepare the suspension and attach the needle to the syringe.
2. Insert the needle to prepare the suspension in the vial.
3. Enter the solvent into the vial.
4. Stir immediately for 5 seconds.
5. The contents of the vial are taken into the syringe (the bottle is located at a small angle), and then enter the contents of the syringe back into the vial. Repeat the procedure 5 times! After this, remove the needle from the suspension (but not from the vial), so that the suspension does not enter the syringe.
6. Soak the bottle for about 1 minute with the holder until the foam separates.
7. Slowly draw the suspension into the syringe, while leaving the foam in the vial.
The reconstituted suspension should be stored for 6 hours at a temperature of no higher than 25 ° C or 24 hours at a temperature of 2 ° -8 ° C. Before use, the reconstituted suspension should be shaken gently.
Dosage
Prevention. We recommend a single dose of 1.2 ml of Alveofakt ® for 1 kg of body weight, which is administered the first hour after birth. If necessary, repeat the administration three more times at intervals of 12-24 hours - only 4 single doses.
If the ventilation parameters deteriorate and life-threatening indications arise, the time interval between doses can be reduced under the supervision of the doctor.
Emergency therapy. We recommend a single dose of 1.2 ml of Alveofakt® preparation per 1 kg of body weight immediately if there are clinical symptoms and / or radiological changes that correspond to the development of RDS, or when the respiratory fraction of required oxygen exceeds 40% (FiO2>0,4).
If necessary, repeat the administration three more times at intervals of 12-24 hours - only 4 single doses. If life-threatening conditions continue, the time interval between doses may be reduced under medical supervision, however, the second dose should be administered no earlier than 30-60 minutes after the first administration.
Treatment with Alveofakt ® is carried out only by intratracheal instillation.
The technique of introduction
1. The correct standing of the endotracheal tube (1 cm above the bifurcation), the correct size of the intubation tube.
2. Control suction from LDP.
3. In the endotracheal tube, insert the catheter into the depth, which determines its exit from the intubation tube by 1 cm.
4. Position of the patient on his left side !!!
5. Introduce the drug into the bolus catheter at a dose of 1.2 ml / kg, then draw air into the syringe and insert it into the catheter, ensuring that the drug reaches the TBD completely.
6. Manual method (bag Penlon, Cardiff etc.) to make 5 respiratory movements and start ALV - the respiratory rate is higher than 60 per minute and the exit time is not less than 0.6 seconds.
7. For an even distribution of the patient's Alveofakt®, the patient can be gently turned to the right-left side for several minutes.
8. If possible, do not perform routine suction from the tubing for 6-8 hours.
9. Constant monitoring of blood gases. Prevent hyperoxia (RO2 not more than 60 mm Hg, SaO2 not more than 95%, the best effect if FiO2 0,25 SaO2 not more than 95-96%).
10. When the stabilization of blood gases is achieved FiO2 0,4 choose the parameters of ventilation (Pin, Tin, Those, Flow) are sufficient for a particular situation.
11. If within the next 4-6 hours the condition starts to deteriorate, i.e. the patient will need FiO2 more than 0.4 it is necessary to solve the problem of repeated administration of the surfactant, based on the data of the radiograph and blood gas parameters.
12. Manipulation should be performed strictly in aseptic conditions.
