Catecholamines in Chronic Respiratory Insufficiency

Respiration, 1971
Twelve patients with chronic respiratory failure in obstructive pulmonary emphysema had a significant increase in plasma catecholamines of about three times the normal values. It is suggested that chronic hypercapnia stimulates the sympathetic nervous system thus being partly responsible for several cardiovascular features as tachycardia, arrhythmia ...

Diaphragm Pacing for Respiratory Insufficiency

Journal of Clinical Neurophysiology, 1997
Diaphragm pacing (DP) by electrical stimulation of the phrenic nerve offers important advantages to a highly select group of patients with respiratory paralysis. The patient wears an external radiofrequency (RF) transmitter over an implanted receiver, and a stimulating current is induced without the need for any transcutaneous wires.

Pulmonary Insufficiency and Respiratory Failure

DeckerMed Surgery, 2016
Pulmonary insufficiency is the most common complication after surgical procedures. From minor atelectasis to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), postoperative pulmonary insufficiency occurs in up to 50% of surgeries. Here we discuss the anatomy, mechanics, and pathophysiology of pulmonary insufficiency; preoperative and postoperative assessment

Aggressive Treatment of Acute Respiratory Insufficiency*

Southern Medical Journal, 1976
Treatment of patients with severe acute respiratory insufficiency included application of end-expiratory pressure to an optimal level, precise cardiovascular monitoring, and adaptation of conventional respirators to provide intermittent mandatory ventilation.

Respiratory insufficiency in chest injuries

Resuscitation, 1972
Abstract 1. Arterial blood gas tensions have been studied in 50 cases of chest crush injuries. Hypoxia was present in most of these cases, but raised P CO 2 was present in only six cases and in no case was it grossly abnormal. In most cases the P CO 2 was below normal limits. Standard bicarbonate was normal in most cases. 2. The alveolar-arterial

STUDIES IN RESPIRATORY INSUFFICIENCY<subtitle>II. Clinical Evidence of Early Respiratory Insufficiency</subtitle>

Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1954
IN A PRECEDING paper 1 data relating to the chemical evidences of respiratory insufficiency in acute poliomyelitis, with early respiratory muscle paralysis, have been presented. It was shown that oxygen lack and carbon dioxide retention did not occur until after respiratory muscle paralysis had become extensive and the clinical evidence of dyspnea was ...

Diaphragm Pacing as an Adjunct in Respiratory Insufficiency

Neurosurgery, 1978
Abstract Most neurosurgical patients with permanent partial or complete respiratory insufficiency are managed with a mechanical ventilator and tracheostomy. This method presents many medical, technical, emotional, and social problems. A case report is presented that illustrates the potential usefulness of electrical stimulation of the ...
