Epidemiology of invasive aspergillosis in critically ill patients : clinical presentation, underlying conditions, and outcome [PDF]

, 2015
Introduction: Invasive aspergillosis (IA) is a fungal infection that particularly affects immunocompromised hosts. Recently, several studies have indicated a high incidence of IA in intensive care unit (ICU) patients.

Non-invasive ventilation [PDF]

Thorax, 2002
We read with interest the recent paper published in Thorax by Plant et al 1 which analysed predictors of the outcome of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in patients with acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Few data are available on this important question, and studies specifically designed to propose answers are either ...

Time-averaged single sided ventilation rates and thermal environment in cooling mode for a low energy retrofit envelope [PDF]

, 2014
Non-invasive, scalable, building retrofit solutions are very attractive deep renovation techniques to improve energy efficiency in existing buildings; this includes natural ventilation for cooling due to the low impact nature of the installation. However,

Non-invasive respiratory support for preterm infants following extubation from mechanical ventilation. A narrative review and guideline suggestion

Pediatrics and Neonatology, 2020
The recent introduction of different non-invasive ventilation modes for preterm has decreased the need for intubation, invasive ventilation and sedation. However, specific guidelines for each non-invasive mode are still lacking.

Management of Mechanical Ventilation in Decompensated Heart Failure. [PDF]

, 2016
Mechanical ventilation (MV) is a life-saving intervention for respiratory failure, including decompensated congestive heart failure. MV can reduce ventricular preload and afterload, decrease extra-vascular lung water, and decrease the work of breathing ...

Acute respiratory failure in patients with hematological malignancies : outcomes according to initial ventilation strategy : a Groupe de recherche respiratoire en réanimation onco-hématologique (Grrr-OH) study [PDF]

, 2015
Background: In patients with hematological malignancies and acute respiratory failure (ARF), noninvasive ventilation was associated with a decreased mortality in older studies. However, mortality of intubated patients decreased in the last years. In this

Predictive significance of the six-minute walk distance for long-term survival in chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure [PDF]

, 2007
Background: The 6-min walk distance ( 6-MWD) is a global marker of functional capacity and prognosis in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( COPD), but less explored in other chronic respiratory diseases.

Twenty-Four Hour Noninvasive Ventilation in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy: A Safe Alternative to Tracheostomy

Canadian Respiratory Journal, 2013
BACKGROUND: Almost all patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) eventually develop respiratory failure. Once 24 h ventilation is required, either due to incomplete effectiveness of nocturnal noninvasive ventilation (NIV) or bulbar weakness, it is ...
