Abstract Background In hospitalized patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia, progression to acute respiratory failure requiring invasive mechanical ventilation (MV) is associated significant morbidity and mortality. Severe dysregulated systemic inflammation the putative mechanism. We hypothesize that early prolonged methylprednisolone (MP) treatment could accelerate resolution, decreasing need for intensive care unit (ICU) admission Methods conducted a multicenter...
Abstract Objective To report clinical and electroneuromyographic (ENMG) characteristics of patients affected by severe COVID-19 infection, evaluated for muscular weakness. Materials methods ENMGs performed evaluation diffuse weakness in who could not be discharged from semi-intensive care COVID unit because difficulties ventilation weaning were reviewed. Patients with infection had undergone endotracheal intubation able to co-operate considered. ENMG protocol was focused on...
The risk of barotrauma associated with different types ventilatory support is unclear in COVID-19 patients. primary aim this study was to evaluate the effect respiratory strategies on occurrence; we also sought determine frequency and clinical characteristics patients who experienced complication.
Abstract Background COVID-19 has caused considerable morbidity and mortality worldwide cardiac involvement been reported during infection. The short-term outcome in survivors of is not known. Objective To examine the heart patients who survived to compare between recovered from mild-to-moderate or severe illness. Methods With use ECG echocardiography, we examined 105 had hospitalized with were consecutively recruited after hospital discharge while attending follow-up visits. Survivors...
This study aimed to investigate the effect of periodic breathing (PB) at high altitude on sleep structure and arterial oxygen saturation (Sa,O2). Five healthy subjects underwent polysomnographic studies sea level, during first fourth week sojourn 5,050 m. Their pattern, architecture Sa,O2 were analysed. PB was detected in high-altitude nonrapid eye movement (NREM) tended increase from week. Stages 3-4 absent four week, but only one irrespective amount PB. The arousal index 11.6+/-3.8...

Recently, to reduce the costs of polysomnography, split-night studies have been introduced into routine practice: first part night is used make diagnosis obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) and second achieve an appropriate level continuous positive airway pressure. Since this protocol has not yet validated by comparison polysomnographic pictures obtained in parts night, aim study was evaluate profile respiratory disturbances (PSG1) (PSG2) portion a standard full-night examination...
Abstract Purpose To test the inter-reader agreement in classifying pulmonary hypertension (PH) on chest contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) between a consensus of two cardio-pulmonary-devoted radiologists (CRc) and inexperienced readers (radiology residents, RRs) when using CECT-based quick hands-on tool built upon PH imaging literature, i.e., “Rapid Access Practical Information Digest Computed Tomography for PH-RAPID-CT-PH”. Material methods The observational study retrospectively...
Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) remain a challenge after esophagectomy. Despite improvement in surgical and anesthesiological management, PPCs are reported as many 40% of patients. The main aim this study is to investigate whether early application high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) extubation will provide benefit terms reduced PPC frequency compared standard oxygen therapy.
To assess the effect of chronic hypoxic conditions on ventilatory, heart rate (HR), and blood pressure (BP) responses to acute progressive isocapnic hypoxia, we studied five healthy Caucasian subjects (3 men 2 women). Each subject performed one rebreathing test at sea level (SL) two tests Pyramid laboratory Lobuche, Nepal, altitude 5,050 m, 1 day after arrival (HA1) 24 days sojourn (HA2). The effects hypoxia were tested by using a standard technique. BP, electrocardiogram, arterial oxygen...
Noninvasive respiratory support (NIRS) has been extensively used during the COVID-19 surge for patients with acute failure. However, little data are available about barotrauma NIRS in treated outside intensive care unit (ICU) setting.COVIMIX-2 was an ancillary analysis of previous COVIMIX study, a large multicenter observational work investigating frequencies (i.e., pneumothorax and pneumomediastinum) adult interstitial pneumonia. Only ICU were considered. Baseline characteristics, clinical...
