Average volume-assured pressure support

Southwest Respiratory and Critical Care Chronicles, 2018
Average volume-assured pressure support (AVAPS) is a relatively new mode of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NiPPV); only a few studies have been done to compare its effectiveness and safety to bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP) in ...

Proteomic Analysis of Golden Sputum Reveals Pulmonary Complement Activation During Acute Chest Syndrome in Children With Sickle Cell Disease

American Journal of Hematology, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 678-686, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Acute chest syndrome (ACS) is one of the most common severe complications of sickle cell disease (SCD). In recent years, a major role of inflammation and innate immunity has been evidenced, but ACS pathophysiology remains incompletely understood, and therapeutic options are limited.

Acute hypercapnic respiratory failure in patients with obesity hypoventilation syndrome during the COVID‐19 pandemic: Four case reports

Respirology Case Reports, 2023
Obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) can cause acute hypercapnic respiratory failure (AHRF). The onset of AHRF in four patients with OHS during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic is reported in this study.

Low‐value care and variation in practice in the care of children hospitalized with bronchiolitis in Canada (CareBEST): Protocol for a multi‐center prospective cohort study

Journal of Hospital Medicine, Volume 21, Issue 4, Page 458-468, April 2026.
Abstract Introduction Low‐value care refers to health services for which the potential harms or costs outweigh the benefits of use. Bronchiolitis is the most common and among the most costly causes of pediatric hospitalizations. Evidence consistently shows that many common tests and treatments used to manage bronchiolitis do not improve outcomes ...

Development of a deep learning model that predicts Bi-level positive airway pressure failure

Scientific Reports, 2022
Delaying intubation for patients failing Bi-Level Positive Airway Pressure (BIPAP) may be associated with harm. The objective of this study was to develop a deep learning model capable of aiding clinical decision making by predicting Bi-Level Positive ...
