1 Overview of Cystic fibrosis in children Apeksha Sathyaprasad, MD Pediatric pulmonologist

2 No conflicts of interest

3 OBJECTIVES Review pathophysiology of pulmonary disease in cystic fibrosis Review diagnostic criteria for cystic fibrosis Understand role of lung function testing in cystic fibrosis Know management strategies of a child with cystic fibrosis Review extrapulmonary manifestations of cystic fibrosis

4 INTRODUCTION Cystic Fibrosis is the most common, inherited, life shortening, condition in Caucasians 1 in 3000 live births; Carrier rate approx. 1 in 30 Autosomal recessive mutation in CFTR gene on chromosome 7 Nearly 2000 different mutations, most common is delf508 Defective sodium, chloride and bicarbonate ion transport

5 DIAGNOSIS AND PATHOGENESIS Newborn screening Sweat chloride, genetic testing Lungs appear morphologically normal at birth Increased inflammation and mucus plugging Kendig and Chernicks s text book Repeated infections and lung damage

6 PATHOGENESIS Segmental hyperinflation or atelectasis, postinflammatory blebs, bronchiectasis,pneumothorax Bronchial artery hypertrophy and hemoptysis Kendig and Chernicks s text book Bacteremia and sepsis are rare European respiratory society

7 BRONCHIECTASIS Kendig and Chernicks s text book

8 AIRWAY ORGANISMS Pediatr Clin North Am. doi: /j.pcl

9 PFT Normal PFT does not imply that there is no lung disease Changes can be subtle Lung volumes, body plethysmography, multiple breath washout CHEST , DOI: ( /chest

10 SCREENING Respiratory Spirometry at every visit (quarterly) Sputum culture CXR yearly Full PFT every year Non-respiratory CBC, liver function, PT/INR, PTT, fecal elastase Mental health screening Bone scan (DEXA)

11 MANAGEMENT Kendig and Chernicks s text book

12 PULMONARY EXACERBATION Increased cough Change in mucus- color, consistency, amount Drop in FEV1 Poor appetite, weight loss Fatigue Fever, increased inflammatory markers are NOT always seen

13 MANAGEMENT OF PULMONARY EXACERBATION Augmented airway clearance Antibiotics- at least 2 weeks Nutrition

14 HEMOPTYSIS IN CF Cause for concern Admit patient HOLD AIRWAY CLEARANCE AND MOST INHALED THERAPIES Quantify Antibiotics Vitamin K Bronchial artery embolization

15 OTHER ASPECTS OF CYSTIC FIBROSIS Upper airway: sinusitis, nasal polyps GI disease- meconium ileus, rectal prolapse Pancreatic insufficiency Liver disease CF related diabetes Science direct

16 NUTRITION Pancreatic insufficiency Poor appetite Increased energy expenditure Require pancreatic enzyme supplements High protein, high calorie diet Affects quality of life and outcome

17 AIRWAY CLEARANCE Started very early in newborn period (newborn screen) Done regularly To clear mucus plugs and relieve obstruction Prevent infection and inflammation Preserve lung function

18 AIRWAY CLEARANCE Albuterol Hypertonic Saline Deoxyribonuclease Inhaled corticosteroids Inhaled antibiotics

19 ALBUTEROL Airway clearance Bronchospasm Routine use- no strong evidence for or against Useful in patients with strong bronchodilator response

20 HYPERTONIC SALINE Ages 6 and up SHIP and other infant studies 3-7% NaCl Hydration of airway surface liquid Induces cough Can cause bronchospasm

21 DORNASE ALPHA/ PULMOZYME Well studied in CF bronchiectasis Dissolves DNA of neutrophils in sputum High net benefit, especially in moderate to severe lung disease

22 DORNASE ALPHA/ PULMOZYME FOR NON-CF BRONCHIECTASIS 349 adults with idiopathic bronchiectasis, stable disease received aerosolized dornase alfa or placebo twice daily for 24 weeks Pulmonary exacerbations were more frequent and FEV1 decline was greater in patients who received the inhaled mucolytic agent compared with placebo O Donnell AE, et al. Chest 1998; 113:

23 INHALED ANTIBIOTICS Pseudomonas aeruginosa- frequency of exacerbations, decline in lung function Inhaled Tobramycin 300 mg BID Dry powder inhaler 112 mg BID Treatment for eradication for 28 days Suppression of chronic colonization for 28 days every other month

24 INHALED ANTIBIOTICS Inhaled Aztreonam/ Cayston 75mg BID Inhaled Colistin Inhaled Vancomycin powder for MRSA Inhaled Amikacin for NTM Inhaled nitric oxide currently under research

25 INHALED CORTICOSTEROIDS Asthma- airway hyperreactivity ABPA

26 ORDER OF TREATMENTS Albuterol Hypertonic saline Vest Pulmozyme Inhaled corticosteroids Inhaled antibiotics

27 ACT Manual CPT HFCWO Positive expiratory pressure (PEP) Oscillating PEP Intrapulmonary percussive ventilation Frequencer, Vibralung Other: Active cycle breathing technique (ACBT) Autogenic drainage Exercise

28 ACT Age Developmental/ skill level Patient preference Insurance Family s ability Routine versus exacerbation Travel Response to treatment

29 HFCWO Oscillatory air flow- break mucus away from walls and move then to central airways Central and peripheral airway clearance Physical nature of mucus also affected Hill-Rom Vest fit, frequency, pressure InCourage

30 MINNESOTA PROTOCOL Frequency Pressure Huff cough 8 10 Huff cough during pause 9 10 Huff cough during pause Huff cough during pause 18 6 Huff cough during pause 19 6 Huff cough during pause 20 6 Huff cough during pause *If the pressure of 10 is uncomfortable, use the Starting Pressure setting

31 PERCUSSION/ VIBRATION Disks or pods which percuss and vibrate Afflo vest and Monarch vest Monarch Afflovest

32 INTRAPULMONARY PERCUSSIVE VENTILATION Internal percussion Via mask, mouth piece, tracheostomy or ET tube Loosens mucus IPV, Metaneb, CoughAssist E70

33 PEP Breathing against pressure stents airways open Air into distal airways via collateral channels and gets behind secretions Therapep, bubble, Respionics PEP

34 Oscillating PEP PEP with oscillations on exhalation AerobikA Flutter Acapella

35 ACT Postural drainage- head down positions no longer recommended Huffing: mobilize and clear secretions Gentle coughing Different levels of vital capacity Autogenic drainage Tidal breathing at different levels of TLC 3 second breath hold Expiratory airflow mobilizes secretions

36 EQUIPMENT CFF

37 CLEANING Cleaning: Warm soapy water, dishwashing soap Rinse: with tap water ok for initial rinse, but use only sterile water for final rinse after disinfecting Disinfect: Boil, microwave, dishwasher, soak in hydrogen peroxide, isopropyl alcohol Air dry overnight

38 HOSPITAL Disposable: Rinse with water after each use. Replace after 24 hours Non-disposable: Clean, disinfect, air-dry

39 INFECTIOUS CONTROL Gown, mask, gloves Order of patient depends on patient s airway organism Amazon Hand washing PFT done in negative pressure room HEPA filter or 30 minute gap in-between filters

40 INFECTIOUS CONTROL Private room Can leave room with gown and mask 6 feet between any 2 CF patients Use dedicated disposable equipment Rules exempted for family members

41 INFECTIOUS CONTROL Hand hygiene The most effective means of preventing person-to-person transmission of bacteria is good hand hygiene. Patients must clean their hands with alcohol-based handwash or soap before leaving their rooms and before entering and leaving any common rooms. Hand cleaning should be performed after coughing spells Masks All patients with cystic fibrosis are required to wear a mask when outside of their own rooms Masks should cover both nose and mouth Masks should be changed at least every 30 minutes or when moist or soiled

42 SUMMARY CF is a complex condition that affects various organ systems Pulmonary disease is major cause of morbidity and mortality Appropriate airway clearance is important in maintaining lung functinon One size does not fit all Best technique is one that the patient will use
