Effects of heliox and non-invasive neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NIV-NAVA) in preterm infants

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Due to its unique properties, helium–oxygen (heliox) mixtures may provide benefits during non-invasive ventilation, however, knowledge regarding the effects of such therapy in premature infants is limited.

Consequences of group III/IV afferent feedback and respiratory muscle work on exercise tolerance in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, Volume 108, Issue 11, Page 1351-1365, 1 November 2023., 2023
Abstract Exercise intolerance and exertional dyspnoea are the cardinal symptoms of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). In HFrEF, abnormal autonomic and cardiopulmonary responses arising from locomotor muscle group III/IV afferent feedback is one of the primary mechanisms contributing to exercise intolerance.

Heliox allows for lower minute volume ventilation in an animal model of ventilator-induced lung injury. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
BACKGROUND:Helium is a noble gas with a low density, allowing for lower driving pressures and increased carbon dioxide (CO2) diffusion. Since application of protective ventilation can be limited by the development of hypoxemia or acidosis, we ...

Outcomes of a respiratory therapist driven high flow nasal cannula management protocol for pediatric critical asthma patients

open access: yesPediatric Pulmonology, Volume 58, Issue 10, Page 2881-2888, October 2023., 2023
Abstract Introduction This study aimed to determine if a respiratory therapist (RT)‐driven high flow nasal cannula (HFNC) protocol could decrease duration of HFNC use, pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) and hospital length of stay (LOS), and duration of continuous albuterol use in pediatric patients with critical asthma.

Applying behaviour change theory to speech and language therapy intervention for inducible laryngeal obstruction

open access: yesInternational Journal of Language &Communication Disorders, Volume 58, Issue 5, Page 1539-1550, September/October 2023., 2023
Abstract Background Speech and language therapists (SLTs) provide interventions for inducible laryngeal obstruction (ILO) despite a current lack of evidence to inform intervention delivery. This study is the first step to develop an evidence‐based intervention for ILO, using behaviour change theory and the Behaviour Change Technique Taxonomy version 1 (
