A Nomogram for Planning Respiratory Therapy
Chest, 1977A nomogram is presented which aids in monitoring and selecting therapy in the treatment of the patient with hypoxemia. It facilitates accurate bedside determination of total shunt fraction and estimation of the arterial oxygen tension (PaO2) attainable at inspired oxygen concentrations of 21 percent to 100 percent.

Antimicrobial Therapy for Respiratory Disease
Veterinary Clinics of North America: Equine Practice, 1997Antimicrobial treatment is an important component of infectious respiratory disease management. However, across all systems in horses there is substantial deficit in definitive information concerning the efficacy of antimicrobials. This disassociation between laboratory data and antimicrobial efficacy and the obstacles to effective antimicrobial ...

Gene therapy and respiratory neuroplasticity
Experimental Neurology, 2017Breathing is a life-sustaining behavior that in mammals is accomplished by activation of dedicated muscles responsible for inspiratory and expiratory forces acting on the lung and chest wall. Motor control is exerted by specialized pools of motoneurons in the medulla and spinal cord innervated by projections from multiple centers primarily in the ...

Immune Therapy in Respiratory Disease
Veterinary Clinics of North America: Equine Practice, 1997Pharmacologic manipulation of pulmonary immunity plays an important role in primary and adjunct therapy for equine respiratory disease. Frequent exposure to respiratory viral pathogens, strenuous exercise, long distance transport, and inhalation of harmful substances destroy various aspects of the pulmonary defense system and predispose performance ...

Decontamination of Respiratory Therapy Equipment
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1977To the Editor.— In a recent article (237:795-797, 1977), Smith and Massanari reported the presence ofAcinetobacterorganism in a group of patients using continuous bedside humidifiers. The authors hypothesized that the organism was deposited from the humidifier to the patient's skin and finally to the blood stream by way of the intravenous catheter ...

Medical Direction of Respiratory Therapy
Respiratory Care, 1976Respiratory therapy is a continuous service requiring team effort. Quality control is assured only through the active, responsible leadership of the medical director. Standards were defined in 1973 by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals, and statements of policy must now be submitted in conformance with these ...
