Determinants of Sleepiness at Wheel and Missing Accidents in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021
Study ObjectivesMotor-vehicle crashes are frequent in untreated OSA patients but there is still uncertainty on prevalence as well as physiological or clinical determinants of sleepiness at the wheel (SW) in OSA patients. We assessed determinants of SW or

Methods for Assessing Expiratory Flow Limitation during Tidal Breathing in COPD Patients

Pulmonary Medicine, 2012
Patients with severe COPD often exhale along the same flow-volume curve during quite breathing as during forced expiratory vital capacity manoeuvre, and this has been taken as indicating expiratory flow limitation at rest (EFLT). Therefore, EFLT, namely,

Bronchodilator Delivery via High-Flow Nasal Cannula: A Randomized Controlled Trial to Compare the Effects of Gas Flows

Pharmaceutics, 2021
(1) Background: Aerosol delivery via high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) has attracted increasing clinical interest. In vitro studies report that the ratio of HFNC gas flow to patient inspiratory flow (GF:IF) is a key factor in the efficiency of trans-nasal ...

Respiratory Function in Infants [PDF]

Anaesthesia and Intensive Care, 1973
Measurements of respiratory function in infants under 12 months of age are reviewed and compared with those in adults. It is shown that allowing for differences in body size the findings in infants are similar to those in older age groups. However, it is important that anyone involved in the respiratory care of small infants be aware of the ...

Minute ventilation to carbon dioxide output (V’E/V’CO2 slope) is the strongest death predictor before larger lung resections

Monaldi Archives for Chest Disease, 2017
The minute ventilation to CO2 production ratio (V’E/V’CO2 slope) was recently identified as a mortality predictor after lung surgery, but the effect of the resection extent was not taken into account.  The aim of this study was to investigate the role of

RESPIRATORY FUNCTION OF THE LARYNGECTOMEE

Nippon Jibiinkoka Gakkai Kaiho, 1966
Respiratory function was studied in 9 larynge-ctomized cases.It was revealed that all laryngectomee have been suffered from emphysema.Explanation based on physiology, clinico-path-ology and pneumatisation theory have been perfo-rmed to the development of emphysema following wing of the bronchus caused by chronic bronchitis.Rehabilitation of the ...

The value of high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) to determine exercise ventilatory inefficiency and dynamic hyperinflation in adult patients with cystic fibrosis

Respiratory Research, 2019
Introduction In Cystic Fibrosis (CF), exercise ventilatory inefficiency and dynamic hyperinflation (DH) cause exercise limitation and induce poor exercise tolerance.

Severe acute respiratory failure due to a multifactorial diffuse alveolar haemorrhage

Respirology Case Reports, 2020
Diffuse alveolar haemorrhage (DAH) is a life‐threatening syndrome caused by infection, coagulation disorders or autoimmune diseases. We here report the case of an 81‐year‐old male subject affected by a multifactorial DAH, in which the bleeding was ...
