Seretide for obstructive lung disease

Expert Opinion on Pharmacotherapy, 2002
Seretide (Advair [North America], GlaxoSmithKline) is an inhaler combination formulation intended for the maintenance therapy of obstructive airways disease. Seretide was developed and made available initially as three multi-dose, dry powder inhaler formulations delivering 50 microg/puff of the long acting beta(2) agonist salmeterol and either 100, 250

Obstructive Lung Disease

2023
Abstract Obstructive airway diseases are a commonly tested topic in anesthesia for both the written and oral examinations and are separated into upper airway (obstructive sleep apnea [OSA]), tracheobronchial (foreign body), and parenchymal disorders (mediastinal masses). Obstructive disorders have resistance to airflow which leads to air

Obstructive Lung Disease

1989
Obstructive lung disease like chronic bronchitis, asthma, pulmonary emphysema and their numerous combinations result from acute or chronic influence of noxious factors on the structures of the respiratory system. While in chronic bronchitis and asthma the conducting airways are affected, in pulmonary emphysema the integrity of the pulmonary parenchyma ...

Pulmonary Hemodynamics in Obstructive Lung Disease

Diseases of the Chest, 1968
SUMMARY Various aspects of pulmonary hemodynamics were studied in 34 emphysema patients: (a) when the cardiac output was interpreted on the basis of each patient's age, the majority (85 per cent) showed either normal or high output, while the remainder (15 per cent) had a definitely low output.

Measuring exacerbations in obstructive lung disease

Pharmacoepidemiology and Drug Safety, 2009
AbstractPurposeUsing hospitalization always has been seen as a solid measurement for exacerbation in pharmacoepidemiology, but might lead to an underestimation of disease exacerbation because of a trend towards outpatient care. The aim of this study was to quantify the incidence of different exacerbation markers in obstructive lung disease and to ...

Ventilatory Strategies in Obstructive Lung Disease

Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2014
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by expiratory flow limitation (EFL) due to progressive airflow obstruction. The various mechanisms that cause EFL are central to understanding the physiopathology of COPD. At the end of expiration, dynamic inflation may occur due to incomplete emptying the lungs.

MECHANICAL VENTILATION IN OBSTRUCTIVE LUNG DISEASE

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 1996
This article reviews selected topics relevant to the use of mechanical ventilation in patients with severe airflow obstruction. Areas discussed include the bedside assessment of respiratory system mechanics, the ventilatory determinants of dynamic pulmonary hyperinflation, the role of controlled hypoventilation with permissive hypercapnia, and the ...

Bronchodilator Therapy in Obstructive Lung Disease

Allergy and Asthma Proceedings, 1985
In recent years the management of patients with obstructive lung disease has been greatly simplified by the introduction of highly selective long-acting beta adrenergic agonists, slow release theophylline preparations and locally active anticholinergic agents. The beta adrenergic compounds are the most potent and many feel that they should be the first

Obstructive Lung Diseases

2018
Mechanical ventilation is often used in the setting of acute exacerbations of obstructive lung diseases like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). These disorders are characterized by increased airway resistance secondary to bronchospasm and airway inflammation, collapse, and remodeling, often leading to inefficient exhalation and ...
