Increased mortality in hematological malignancy patients with acute respiratory failure from undetermined etiology : a Groupe de Recherche en Réanimation Respiratoire en Onco-Hématologique (Grrr-OH) study [PDF]
Background: Acute respiratory failure (ARF) is the most frequent complication in patients with hematological malignancies and is associated with high morbidity and mortality.

Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is a method of respiratory support that is commonly used for the management of a wide range of causes of respiratory failure, both within and without the intensive care unit (ICU). This review will discuss the advantages of this mode of ventilation over more traditional methods, its indications and contra-indications and ...

Development of a composite model derived from cardiopulmonary exercise tests to predict mortality risk in patients with mild-to-moderate heart failure [PDF]
Objective: Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is used to predict outcome in patients with mild-to-moderate heart failure (HF). Single CPET-derived variables are often used, but we wanted to see if a composite score achieved better predictive power ...

Physiopathological rationale of using high-flow nasal therapy in the acute and chronic setting: A narrative review [PDF]
Chronic lung disease and admissions due to acute respiratory failure (ARF) are becoming increasingly common. Consequently, there is a growing focus on optimizing respiratory support, particularly non-invasive respiratory support, to manage these ...

What is optimal in patients with myasthenic crisis: Invasive or non-invasive ventilation?
Myasthenia gravis is an immune disorder involving the neuromuscular junction. The consequent weakness of respiratory muscles leads to variable disorders of ventilation in patients with myasthenia gravis.

Short-term one-lung ventilation does not influence local inflammatory cytokine response after lung resection [PDF]
Background: One-lung ventilation (OLV) is a ventilation procedure used for pulmonary resection which may results in lung injury. The aim of this study was to evaluate the local inflammatory cytokine response from the dependent lung after OLV and its ...
