Relationship between pre-anesthetic and intra-anesthetic airway resistance in patients undergoing general anesthesia: A prospective observational study. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Surgery patients in Japan undergo routine spirometry testing prior to general anesthesia. The use of a flow sensor during general anesthesia has recently become common. However, it is not certain whether the information derived from flow-volume curves is

Fractional exhaled nitric oxide could identify early spirometry change in clinically suspected asthma patients without airway obstruction

European Journal of Inflammation, 2021
Fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) has been proposed as a non-invasive biomarker for allergic inflammation seen in asthma. The aim of this study was to assess the ability of FeNO to discriminate spirometry and lung volume measurements between those ...

Airway obstruction time and outcomes in patients with foreign body airway obstruction: multicenter observational choking investigation

Acute Medicine & Surgery, 2022
Aim Foreign body airway obstruction (FBAO) is a major public health concern worldwide for infants and older adults. This study determines the association between airway obstruction time and neurological outcomes to plan an effective response for patients

Survival and quality of life benefit after endoscopic management of malignant central airway obstruction [PDF]

, 2016
Although interventional management of malignant central airway obstruction (mCAO) is well established, its impact on survival and quality of life (QoL) has not been extensively studied.We prospectively assessed survival, QoL and dyspnea (using validated ...

Biologics and airway remodeling in severe asthma

Allergy. European Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2022
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory airway disease resulting in airflow obstruction, which in part can become irreversible to conventional therapies, defining the concept of airway remodeling.

New Spirometry Indices for Detecting Mild Airflow Obstruction. [PDF]

, 2018
The diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) relies on demonstration of airflow obstruction. Traditional spirometric indices miss a number of subjects with respiratory symptoms or structural lung disease on imaging.

Ultrasonographic Detection of Airway Obstruction in a Model of Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Ultrasound International Open, 2017
Purpose Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common clinical disorder characterized by repetitive airway obstruction during sleep. The gold standard for diagnosis of OSA, polysomnogram (PSG), cannot anatomically localize obstruction. Precise identification
