Whole-Body versus Local DXA-Scan for the Diagnosis of Osteoporosis in COPD Patients

Journal of Osteoporosis, 2010
Background. Osteoporosis is an extrapulmonary effect of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Diagnosis of osteoporosis is based on BMD measured by DXA-scan. The best location for BMD measurement in COPD has not been determined. Aim of this study

Endoscopic lung volume reduction coil treatment in patients with chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure: an observational study

Therapeutic Advances in Respiratory Disease, 2017
Background: Endoscopic lung volume reduction coil (LVRC) treatment is an option for selected patients with severe emphysema. In the advanced stages, emphysema leads to respiratory failure: hypoxemia and eventually chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure.

Oxygen Therapy in Chronic Respiratory Failure [PDF]

BMJ, 1973
In hypercapnic chronic respiratory failure red cell volume correlates with the arterial oxygen tension during the quiescent phase of the disease. During an acute exacerbation measurement of the red cell volume can give a reasonable index of the arterial oxygen tension existing in the previous quiescent state.

Non-invasive Mechanic Ventilation During the “Weaning

Türk Yoğun Bakim Derneği Dergisi, 2016
SUMMARY Weaning of the patients from mechanical ventilation is a clinically important subject. Recently, applications of non-invasive mechanic ventilation (NIV) are increasing in post extubation respiratory failure.

Association of Low body Mass Index with Respiratory Failure in Chronic Obstructive Pulmunary Disease

Journal of Nepal Health Research Council, 2021
Background: Various studies have shown that low body mass index co-relates with the severity of Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The reduced body mass index in these patients is thought to be due to nutritional abnormality and raised circulating ...

Respiratory Patterns and Chronic Heart Failure [PDF]

Circulation, 1998
To the Editor: A primary rhythm in the central nervous system that entrains both heart rate, blood pressure, and ventilation1 is suggested by profound effects on angina through consciously focusing on breathing and intervening pauses; adaptation to stress manifested by slower, …

Comments on “Post-extubation high-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy versus non-invasive ventilation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with hypercapnic respiratory failure”

Monaldi Archives for Chest Disease, 2023
Dear Editor, The recent study published by Ketan et al. provides emerging evidence on the expanding indications for high-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) therapy in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

P/F Ratio is a Better Predictor for Non-Invasive Ventilation Failure and Length of Stay in Patients with Community-Acquired Pneumonia

Jurnal Respirasi
Introduction: Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) can deteriorate into respiratory failure requiring immediate ventilatory intervention. This study compared the performance of the PaO2/FiO2 (P/F) ratio, the ratio of oxygen saturation (ROX) index, and the ...
