Practices of high-flow nasal therapy in acute and chronic respiratory failure: the Hi-Flow Survey [PDF]
Background High-flow nasal therapy (HFNT) is a widely used non-invasive respiratory support technique, but data on its clinical application remain limited. This study aimed to assess clinicians’ self-reported practices, perceptions and barriers regarding

Impact of HACOR Score on Noninvasive Ventilation Failure in Non-COPD Patients with Acute-on-Chronic Respiratory Failure [PDF]
Background. A rating scale that takes into account heart rate, acidosis, consciousness, oxygenation, and respiratory rate (the HACOR score) has been used to predict noninvasive ventilation (NIV) failure in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary ...

Frequency and functional translation of low muscle mass in overweight and obese patients with COPD
Background Cut offs for fat-free mass index (FFMI) and appendicular skeletal muscle mass index (ASMI) are available for diagnosing low muscle mass in patients with COPD. This study aimed to investigate: (1) the frequency of low muscle mass (FFMI and ASMI)

Airway bacterial and fungal microbiome in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Little is known about airway mycobiome, and its relationship with bacterial microbiome in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Here we report the first simultaneous characterization of sputum bacterial and fungal microbiome in 84 stable COPD and
