Mechanical ventilation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients, noninvasive vs. invasive method (randomized prospective study) [Usporedba neinvazivne i invazivne umjetne ventilacije kod bolesnika s kroničnom opstruktivnom plućnom bolesti: prospektivna randomizirana studija] [PDF]
, 2009 Acute respiratory failure due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) presents an increasing problem throughout the world. The aim of this study was to compare invasive and non-invasive mechanical ventilation (MV) for patients with COPD.

Defining of the Relationship Between Lung Volumes, Airway Resistance and the Apnea-Hypopnea Index
Türk Uyku Tıbbı Dergisi, 2018 Objective: Obstructive Sleep Apnea syndrome (OSAS) is characterized by recurrent complete or partial narrowing of the upper respiratory tract during sleep and frequently a decrease in blood oxygen saturation. Upper respiratory tract gap is determined by

Perioperative and anesthetic deaths: toxicological and medico legal aspects [PDF]
, 2019 Background: Anesthesia has become safer during decades, though there is still a preventable mortality; the complexity of medical and surgical interventions, increasingly older and sicker patients, has created a host of new hazards in anesthesiology.

Impairment of the baroreflex control of human respiratory resistance with age
European Journal of Medical Research, 2009 Background The mechanism responsible for the central baroreflex resetting with age are an area of limited knowledge. We previously demonstrated that in subjects aged above 50 the airway resistance did not change in response to baroreceptor activation ...

Reflex influence of carotid baroreceptor inactivation on respiratory resistance in humans
European Journal of Medical Research, 2009 Our previous study demonstrated that selective carotid baroreceptors activation decreases airway resistance. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of carotid baroreceptor inactivation on the reflex change of respiratory resistance ...
