Outcomes of Incentive Spirometry for Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery: A Randomised Controlled Trial. [PDF]

Int J Nurs Pract
ABSTRACT Background Incentive spirometry is used in addition to care, especially in reducing pulmonary complications after surgery. Complications in the cardiovascular and pulmonary systems can basically be determined by blood values and vital signs, which are important objective data of haemodynamics.

Dynapenia and Sarcopenia as Risk Factors for Mortality in Interstitial Lung Disease

Respirology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objective Fibrotic interstitial lung disease (ILD) is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Patients often exhibit impaired nutritional status and alterations in body composition, such as dynapenia and sarcopenia, which correlate with poor pulmonary function, reduced exercise tolerance and diminished quality of life ...

A Two‐Staged, Risk‐Stratified Strategy Combining FEV1/FEV6 and COPD Diagnostic Questionnaire Acts as an Accurate and Cost‐Effective COPD Case‐Finding Method

Respirology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objective Symptom‐based questionnaires and handheld lung function devices are widely used for COPD case finding, but the optimal combination remains unclear. This study aimed to compare the diagnostic accuracy (DA) of various combinations of handheld lung function devices and questionnaires and develop a COPD case‐finding ...

Transformer-based Time-Series Biomarker Discovery for COPD Diagnosis [PDF]

arXiv
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder (COPD) is an irreversible and progressive disease which is highly heritable. Clinically, COPD is defined using the summary measures derived from a spirometry test but these are not always adequate. Here we show that using the high-dimensional raw spirogram can provide a richer signal compared to just using the ...

Respiratory Muscle Strength as a Predictor of Exacerbations in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Respirology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objective Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is closely related to skeletal muscle dysfunction, and the evaluation of respiratory muscle function has recently been recommended. We aimed to investigate the effects of respiratory muscle dysfunction on clinical outcomes.
